Here are my favorite personal collection acquisitions this year. I have some bigger comic buys that are still with me but the one I included here is one I would definitely not sell. I love Tip Topper 1 and to have the Church copy is pretty cool.

I think the Haunted Mansion sign would fall under memorabilia. That was my favorite thing about Disney as a kid.To own the original mold from WED Enterprises is...amazing.

The All-Story is something I look at every day. Peanuts is my all-time favorite thing and that strip I love for personal reasons.

Spicy Mystery "Batman" cover was a pretty major pulp pickup.

McFarlane Mary Jane page from ASM 300 is an extremely memorable page from my younger days.

Calvin and Hobbes is right behind Peanuts for me and this is as close as I can get to an original daily without breaking the bank.

Don Rosa is awesome and to have a page featuring Uncle Scrooge, Donald, the money bin and the Beagle Boys is pretty exciting. That page is not dark like the photo appears.

Overall, my personal collection has become a little more diversified and eclectic, but I am having more fun now with comics and all things comic related than ever.

Congrats on the All-Story.  I wish I could afford one, but I settled for this in 2019.

As you all know, I'm the odd ball here. In addition to comics, I love all the other stuff too and have since the dawn of my collecting days. Might bore a lot of you but these are standouts at least for me. In no particular order.

Sergent Preston of the Yukon Premium Pinback. I have lusted after this forever. Maybe the prettiest of all character premium pins. Has always been very popular with collectors of these. And, for premiums, VERY expensive back in the day. Always just a little out of reach on the rare occasions when I saw one for sale. A few months ago, I was lucky enough to finally land one and at a great price buried on the bay. I about kissed my mail man when it arrived!

Robot Man,

 Great find on one of my favorite pinbacks!  It is one of the few I am still looking for and hope to find in the coming year.  Congratulations!

Thanks Rich.As I said, it took me a long time to finally land one at a price I thought made sense. It is just such a beautiful button. Good luck in your search. If I should run across another one, I'll let you know.

Now, if I can only find that US Jones pin, I can die happy...:roflmao:

In the past couple of years I have been actively pursuing L.B. Cole cover books, especially romance and sci-fi, so here are a few treasures I bought this year.

Also collected this year, something appealing to both the pulp and fine art side this impressive fantasy work by Margaret Brundage...

:tink:

Hey Cat, love that piece! I actually had my eye on it as well when it came up for auction. I know that most of Margaret's pulp work was done in pastel which is why very little has survived, that piece looks like it might be gouache, do you know?
