| Is there a book that you feel compelled to buy every time you see it? For a while, I bought every Marvel Tales 2 I could find. Can't really explain why, other than I liked the cover. |

| Punisher 1 and Batman 324. Its weird; neither book is rare or valuable, but I just want to find a very high grade raw copy. Must be the covers that draw me in. I have bought several raw copies of both trying to get the best I can. I don't think any of my copies would pass 9.2 or 9.4. | ||

| Shogun Warriors#1, Micronauts #1, Devil Dinosaur#1 I love that Blue Cover, They have to be at least NM territory though. They are all inexpensive with good upside to increase in value. Plus, I love the Bronze Age. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by BrianGreensnips Micronauts 1 is a no brainer, if it's sweet.Add Rom #1 to that list, I bought 5 or so copies of Rom#1 off the CGC forums for $10 or so a shot.Gonna press and sub at least 2 of them at Garden State Comic Fest, later this month. I bought a full run of Shogun Warriorrs at a con about 2-3 years ago, at a $1 a piece. They were all super high grade.I put them aside, they are still sitting in a stack in their crummy polybags, on one of the shelves in my makeshift office. Odds are that the majority are 9.6/9.8 as is....been meaning to press them all and sub them, just havent bothered yet. There are a few that are solid $150-$200+ books in 9.8, just a matter of taking the time to press them all.The first issue is only good for about $150, in 9.8.That's part of the reason why I haven't bothered messing with them yet....but, ugh. I now have 2 large desks full of stacks of books that I need to get pressed and slabbed. Got tough early SA DC and Marvel keys in lower grade...a solid raw 9.6/9.8 as is ( havent pressed it yet) copy of Captain Marvel 26 I bought off ebay half a year ago for about $150, in auction. I actually picked the book up in person, drove 90 minutes in the rain to meet the seller outside of Zapp's in northern NJ, because I didn;t want to take the chance of the book being nicked up, if the seller shipped it to me....haha. I should snap some pics of my 2 desks and my shelves, full of unprocessed books, on here.You guys would cream your shorts :lol: |

Early 90s xmen foils and keys. Getting them for a fraction of what I paid as a kid feels great. That bubble is still splattered  Nostalgia!Single book, WW41. Hunting for that ever evasive perfect copy, so I buy em all |

| I like Rom #1 a lot too. But the ones that I have come across, people want too much for them so I pass. | ||

Detective Comics #880. I've got a poster of that cover & would love to have a slabbed copy to hang along side of it! |

| @antoniofett I recently had 2 Green Lantern books (vol. 2, #'s 13 & 72) sent in to be graded. Picked them up @ an antique shop last month & can't wait to get 'em back! |

For me, it's Batman and Robin vol2 #18... it's a cheap book, but probably my favorite single issue comic. I always buy any copies I find. |

| Spider-man #1 Not only are their multiple versions and an endless onslaught of homages to the "torment cover" but McFarlane's dark and brooding approach to Spidey is still one of my favorites |

| It's funny that a lot of us will buy as many copies as possible of a given book, just because. I still find myself doing it with a bunch of issues I like. | ||

| @BrianGreensnips Yeah he does!! I'm thinking about taking advantage of the signing opportunity that's been posted about him. I'd like to get some All-Star Batman issues signed & slabbed, but would LOVE to have that Dec. Comics 880 done as well. |

Quote:Originally Posted by X51 Agreed. See this question is tough. Aside from the book your willing to get numerous or endless copies and not everyone has one, most people will eventually get the book they want and then interest changes to another book. My current answer would be anything ASM, FF, Iron Man, Superman, Batman or Flash Vol.1 within that weeks given spending budget! I love buying high grade fluff issues(any non key issue) for dirt cheap almost as much as I love a great deal on a high grade key. |

| Foils, embossed, lenticular, holograms, titanium/uranium/plutonium/diamond, spawn #1, savage Dragon #1 and any kool covers (plus variants) of same, multiple copies of kool cover art, #1 issues of pretty much any sort. OCD insists all of above must be in great condition. Yep, I admit.... it IS me!!! I am the problem and will continue to BE!!! For that I should say sorry.... But a lie I cannot cannot tell thee...  |
