Popular Post IbukiLord Posted December 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) These were 2 keys I wanted that I was able to cross off the list in 2020. I got great deals on the 2 CGC books, well below FMV, my LCS gave me some amazing deals this year. Wanted to get Damian's first cameo, only a matter of time before he shows up in a movie and the prices start going up so wanted to grab this while it was still cheap. I found 2 Miles Hip Hop variants earlier in the year for $2 each and sold one to fund this purchase and some. Same as the above, Deathstroke will come in a movie eventually plus he is an awesome character, cameo of Trigon is a nice little add on. I got 3 copies of Venom First Host #3 2nd print during a buy 1 get one free, so got 2 copies for basically free while the other was cover price, sold one to fund this puchase. Last one was the last expensive Artgerm book I needed for my collection and another key DC book that I wanted. It has some issues on the back and needs a press but I got it at a great price and didn't want to walk away from that deal Edited December 26, 2020 by IbukiLord Larryw7, DJones, Funnybooks and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post B2D327 Posted December 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2020 Spent most (if not all) of 2020 replacing my collection after selling a ton of it off back in 2017. A big portion was purchased at the tail end of last year but these are the stand-outs for this year: cabinboy, Norinn Radd, comicdonna and 15 others 18 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post www.alexgross.com Posted December 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2020 i might have spent more money on a few other books in 2020, but i am choosing these 4 as my biggest pickups of the year, mainly because they are all norrin radd related. all of these were slabbed and i cracked the 3 surfers out myself, but bought the ff48 already cracked from a boardie. there is a great joy in liberating beautiful books from slabs, i must say. i only did this because i have higher grade copies of the surfers already slabbed, and i am putting together a collection of raws as well, for kicks. the ff48 was a 7.0, the ss1 was a 6.5, ss3 was a 7.5 and ss4 was an 8.0 it was a very surfer heavy year for me! happy new year to all boardies everywhere! evilskip, RedGiant, DocHoppus182 and 10 others 12 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post AJCohen Posted December 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) My top three of 2020. Really excited to grab the Showcase 4 at a good price and to have it to offset my AF15. Excited to get the ASM 1 re-slabbed and possibly pressed and cleaned. Got really lucky to find a WHITE BB28 in a decent grade. It has been a rough year but this forum and great sellers and buyers were definitely a high point. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

miraclemet Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Ok, did a lot of "trapped in the house, bored out of mind" buying this year, but heres my top 3 with appologies to the River City Copy of Space Adventures #1 and my ASM 129 tripple sig. #3 Space Adventure Charlton File Copies. Back in the summer this woman on ebay decided to unload the boxes of Charlton File copies she had bought back whem their warehouse shuttered. I was able to pickup what I thought were the three best looking copies of Space Adventure she had and got them submitted to CGC. Alas one had a stain ans got hammered, but the other two came back as highest graded and Im thrilled to add them to my registry leading Space Adventures collection #2 Okajima Camp Code book. Some of you know my love for the Okajima pedigree (if not go check out our 60+ page thread over in the Golden Ages subforum). I lucked into this book one night here on the boards. Usually Okajima camp books get snagged fast, but for some reason this one was still sitting in a thread when i noticed it at 4am during a bout of insomnia. Great Camp code and with a "war effort" themed cover to boot! This is my 4th Okajima camp book, and hopefully not the last. #1. Moebius sketch I lived in Europe for a time and really grew to love the work of Moebius (partially cause I couldnt read the French text so I just had to enjoy the art!) Ive tried and failed to win a few different Moebius pieces over the years, but this one didnt elude me! His classic Stargazer character sketched inside one of his hardcover books.

bc Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Only had 2 upgrades this year. Been hunting for a nice copy of this issue for a few years, tough to find in grade: Didn't think I'd win this Everett cover, but happy to have it in the set: -bc batman_fan and Jasonmorris1000000 2 Link to post Share on other sites
