for a while it wasnt a comic but a toy. I collect power ranger toys and the one item that eluded me most was a original power rangers dragon dagger toy. I wasnt picky. if it worked or not. as long as I found it. every year Id look at a convention but either had the money but no one had it....or didnt have money and someone had it. took me several years. did find a working power rangers sabba....but no dagger. eventually did. beat up and doesnt work but its in my collection | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town yeah makes sense you have Raffalo and Ferrigno. theyd probably would. Id try to get any actor who has played in some capacity....heck Id try and find the actor who played the actor who played the hulk in "Rogers: the Musical" on "Hawkeye"...but realisticly even voice actors |

Adventure Comics #247, first LSH. I saw a solid, decent-looking 3.0 copy a few months ago for a reasonable price, and stupidly hesitated. Gone like the wind. I have been kicking myself over that one. Every one on eBay (before and since then) is way overpriced. | ||

All Select Comics 1 8.0 or better. In terms of the high prices we are seeing, I'd be happy with X-men 94 9.0 or better. Avengers 4, ASM 1 and Hulk 181 are the big keys that could round out the list. |

I always wanted a TMNT #1. Never saw one in person for years. Then I found one of the copies that were a part of Eastman’s collection. It was a grail find. Once it ended up in my collection, I didn’t buy another comic for years. | ||

Very High Grade Dell Four Color featuring the 1st appearance of Disney and TV characters. (Bambi, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Dumbo, Sleeping Beauty, Seven Dwarfs, Lady & Tramp, Brer Rabbit, Quick Draw McGraw, Bullwinkle & Rocky, Twilight Zone, Crusader Rabbit, Huckleberry Hound, Felix the Cat, etc...) I consider White Whale both something I desire incredibly AND cannot even find anywhere for any price whatsoever. Anything Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse I can find relatively easy. It's just a matter of money. |
