Your 2018 “Want List”5111

COLLECTOR JLS_Comics private msg quote post Address this user
Merry Christmas (again) to everyone. I hope with family and friends and full of food, Nog, Coquito, PBR or whatever you drink lol

We have a great thread about your top acquisitions of 2017. Did these come from a “want list” that you created at the beginning of the year or were they finds as you went thorough your collecting journey?

My real question for this thread is: what is on your “want list” for 2018? Be it one book or a Top 10 List, Post it up below!

Before you do, give the video below a listen. I’ll tell you my list but I want to share some thoughts on changing perspectives, motivation and the mindset of a (this)collector.

One of the books I want to get this year, is Sponge Bob Square Pants #1.

Another is Scooby Doo #1.

Anything else will have to call my name real loud. I'm getting too old to keep collecting.

I will be pretty happy if I make as much progress in 2018 as I did in 2017 picking up quality copies of X-Men for my collection. The big issues that I still need are #’s 1-5, 9, and 94.

I've decided that 2018 is going to be the year I pull the trigger on a Giant Size X-Men #1. I've seen way to many over the last few months and for one reason or another I've not been able to grab one.

Venom: Lethal Protector Black (Error) & Silver (Italian Edition). This is the year I finish the reasonably-achievable set. I know the White (Error) is out there...but unless I trip over a bar of gold or something, probably out of my price range.

One of these will come home with me from SDCC this year:

Tales of Suspense 52 (8.0)
Spidey 14 (4.0-5.0)
Hulk 181 (4.0-5.0)

I'm definitely pulling the trigger on a mid grade Flash 139 as well.

Not in any order:
1.) Marvel teamup 55 (nm, raw)
2.) Transformers: Infiltration issues 2 & 4, Retailer Incentive Cover "C" (with trading cards, nm raw)
3.) Transformers Marvel #'s 5-8, Graded 9.6 or Better
4.) Amazing Spiderman #252 (nm, raw)

Waiting for "my price" on some of these...I did get hosed on Xmas eve as I had a a couple lined up for sniper bids and my internet let me down.

It's been a weird end to 2017. I acquired most of my must haves his year...I started collecting in the copper age, so I don't really go after anything prior to copper age with rare exceptions for the right price.

I want to grade several books as well...but need cash and cbcs to get their tats back in control. I will post that "want" list separate.

I spent all of 2017 collecting what I loved. I ended up with a lot more comics than I want to own.

2018 will be mostly back to keys.
Ghost Rider 1 in 9.8 is next up, looking for a decent price on one now.

I'm kinda, sorta interested in this book if the price and condition of the book is right. It's not a heavy hitter. I just think it's kind of neat.

Hulk 180
Hulk 181
Batman 227

The hulk 181 I want a high grade and I’m going to pool all my overtime pay for it. The others I’ll just budget for I guess lol

I'm searching for a cover swipe to complete an entire Secret Wars set. I have every book except Deathmatch #2F




If I can obtain a copy of this book in 2018, that will surely make me smile. I need to clear an entire wall in my home to display this set. It's a lot of books!

Transformers Drift #4 Central Canada Comic Con variant & Transformers Spotlight Orion Pax retailer incentive. The two most elusive books for my TF run. Possibly a GSX #1 after this deployment.

Lol. I'm not even trying to pretend that I won't buy it. The only question is how high quality of a copy do I want?
