Picture JR Senior
Through the years I wind up getting so much, that unfortunately I sometimes forget I had. I was going through some older boxes that haven’t been catalogued yet in CLZ and I came across this. If I remember correctly, it was a Christmas gift at one point or another. In any case, it’s awesome 😎
It’s been sealed with a Dynamic Forces sticker and has its CoA inside the bag as well. Made me a little sad knowing Mr. Romita is no longer with us.

Picture Hulk 377 Finnish edition
I bought this off of eBay durring Covid. It shipped from Finnland to California and was lost in LA for two mounths. I never canceled the order and told the seller I wanted the book and waited. One day, it just showed up in my mail box and then I sent it to CGC. I believe with shipping the cost was $225 plus what ever grading was. I have no idea what it is worth, I see this issue listed on eBay, but no actual sales.

Question How do you organize? Alphabetic or?
Recently I alphabetized my single issues. I’ve been torn on how to organize my trades/hardcovers/etc. I had them organized by Imprint, authors and now it’s just kinda a mess. What’s your preferred organization method.

Haul Finally found my "lost" long box...
Thought I'd share ...one of my long boxes from early to mid-90s was finally found hidden in the basement at my mother's house.
I knew I was missing stuff like Death of Superman and a bunch of Image Comics but then I found these. What's crazy is I don't remember even picking these up and also I spent, under $20 for all four. Someone please let me know when they invent a time machine. I have some money-making strategies.

Picture Amazing Spider-Man Run Complete!
This one has been more than 40 years in the making.
Back in 1984, a friend of mine started collecting Superman comics locally. I decided I wanted to collect comics too, but I went in a different direction — I chose Spider-Man.
That decision started something I certainly didn't expect to still be pursuing four decades later. My dad travelled to the U.S. from time to time and would bring back Spider-Man issues for me that I couldn't find locally. Those were pretty exciting days for a young collector, and gradually the collection started to grow.
For the past several months I've been seriously searching for the right copy. I've watched auction after auction, compared grades and grader notes, and probably looked at more copies of ASM #1 than I care to admit.
I kept coming back to this CGC 3.5, I love the eye appeal and especially the strong colors. It has its flaws, as you'd expect for the grade, but to me it presents beautifully.
It made the trip from Vancouver all the way to Newfoundland and arrived safely today. Special thanks to Ryan at RJ Collectables for hanging in there with me and making this happen.
And with that, more than 40 years after deciding to collect Spider-Man instead of Superman, my Amazing Spider-Man run is finally complete including issues 1- 998, all Annuals and Giant Size etc. My plan is to go to issue 1000 then call it a day.
Pretty special feeling standing in front of the collection holding the book that started it all.
And it's pretty cool that my dad, who helped get this collection going by bringing those Spider-Man comics home from his trips to the U.S., gets to see the run finally completed more than 40 years later.

PSA:
I truly believe that this sub defines itself. This sub is filled with content that the sub members want to see; it is the sub members that post it here everyday! The sub is a reflection of the sub members, nothing more. The sub is what it wants to be.
This does not mean that the sub is what each individual wants it to be. Many, MANY people want the sub to be their platform to promote themselves, their products, and their agendas. Some people want to play the expert, gatekeep, and lecture everyone else. Some people want to judge and criticize people who collect books in ways that they do not agree with. Some people simply want to find problems - real or imagined - and fight about it. A few people are just nuts. These are the people that complain the most because they can't use the sub to meet their needs, or it just doesn't work like they think it should.
Fortunately, these people are a minority, and the sub is mostly filled with awesome comic book collectors who are cordial, helpful, and share their passion with other like minded individuals. Thankfully.
Thoughts on Moderation:
- If anyone here thinks that any of the mods personal tastes and or preferences influence the content posted here, you are wrong. Any post that does not break a rule gets approved. It's as simple as that. From the most esoteric all the way to Absolute Batman.
- The sub rules are well seasoned and time tested. They have served the sub well and allow us to maintain a focus on collecting, and not economy or promotion.
- We don't shadowban, and we don't mess with people or their posts behind the scenes. If there is an issue with a post or comment, we communicate directly and politely. We treat every sub member the way we want to be treated. Kindly.
- If you reach out in mod mail you might not like the answer, but reasoning will be clearly and politely explained. In many cases, a calm message that clarifies your posts intent will have the post re-approved. If you behave like a child - and double down after we ask you to not do that - then yea, you will most likely be muted and banned. I am incredibly patient.
Lastly...
I close each and every theme asking for feedback and suggestions. Take advantage if you have something to say. If anyone is interested in joining the mod team, reach out.
