How many more Cap issues of ToS are you missing?

23 more to go. Got all the 90's and 58-62 and a few here and there. Looking to finish off the 60's and work on the 80's

You seem to be working towards completing some runs. I'm curious what your collecting goals are?

When I was a wee lad I was collecting the Classic X-Men comics. That was fun because you had to go to each comic shop and hope they had those elusive issues for the small amount of cash in my allowance-filled wallet. With reprints, eBay, and other sources it's almost anti-climactic to collect a lot of comics but looking for nice copies of older books like this seems like it would still be fun.

It is, I'm looking for TOS #63 right now. The trick is to find one in your price range in the condition your looking for. As for now, I'm trying to finish my Captain America and Avengers collections, The thrill of the hunt.

If you just want to read the stories, it's very easy, but even with the internet, it's challenging to find some books in the condition you want (not necessarily HIGH) for a price you want to pay.

So, the thrill of the hunt still exists.

I just read these in reprint form (well, within the last couple'a months). These are awesome.

Yeah they are. This is my favorite era of Avengers, but it just kills me that I'm re-buying issues I had originally bought off the spinner or got through a subscription ( notice the subscription folds in two of them ? ). At least I'm getting a good deal on them.

Yes, I saw the dreaded sub-folds......that VG-ifys them.

Yeah, that don't bother me. My originals had them too since I was a subscriber at that time.

Just filled a big chunk of my Marvel Team-Up run courtesy of mycomicshop:

This kind of talk should not be tolerated. BOW DOWN TO THE MIGHTY FROG-MAN!!!


Someone brought him back in a very cool way ... can't remember who it was, and certainly can't remember why I thought it was cool.


Sweet haul though, Trev

ETA - How much did that 9.0 set ya back?

Most of those MTU were pretty cheap -- $1-$4

The MTU #1 was a little more -- $167. I got it in last month's auction.
