| Just curious really. Do you have an average or so? Whats your mix between back issues and new releases? Ive stopped my weekly pulls altogether now. I probably average 1 book a week |

| Since my comic kick that sort of started in early June I'm averaging 7-8 new per month 35-40 back issues per month The back issues will probably slow down soon as work ramps up again next month. |

| What I do know is that the books are getting more expensive and the two a month is starting to sting a little to my wallet. If you are reading 5 titles and they come out twice a month at 3.99 to 4.99 a piece....ouch! I have had to sadly be more selective. | ||

| I rarely but new comics. I buy any Treasury sized stuff I see if a store orders extra for the shelf. If I buy 20 comics a year now I'd be surprised. |

| It really all depends. Stories, first appearances, variants, artists, specials or to complete a run. Soon to be a whole lot less. I have run out of room! | ||

| 8 on the pull list. Then usually another 8-10 new books per month. Then about 4 bronze or silver age books per month. This is a good pace for me. | ||

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| The list keeps growing as I keep knocking stuff off of it. Lately, it's been too many books. Some good, some filler. My pull list is sent to me monthly and varies. | ||

| Around 35 new books per month. Then its either 1-2 key books per month OR 15-20 backissues. Depending how the cash flow is going. In August my backissues were Batman New 52 1-11. Month before it was ASM 529-545. Month before was Det. 880, Batman 655 - 666. Then the occasional send off to CBCS. Currently waiting on 3 books. End of Sept ETA. I'm stretched way too thin. Need to limit my pulls and bite the bullet and drop some titles so I can get more complete backissues of the main stories I want. |

| Very few new books anymore. Just 1 or 2 a week, sometimes none. I typically look at the list on-line of books to be released that week to decide if I even want to make a trip to the LCS. I don't see anything this week that excites me or that I can't live without. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by X51 True, I suppose it is pretty aggressive. Ten books a year, mostly in high grade comes out about right. So far this year I've purchased six books. I'll probably purchase 4 to 6 more high grade books by year's end unless cost supersedes the budget I've set aside.  |

| I get on average 5-10 every week. A guy at my LCS buys every single marvel issue released in a week. I saw him spend $300 just on variants and new releases! | ||

| I probably buy one book a week on average. The only thing on my pull list is Black Widow, but there’s currently no on-going series for her. I mean, they “killed” her for a bit there. I’m sure there’s another series on the way. The guys at my LCS are on top of it. I never have to worry I’ll miss an issue. Otherwise, I’m constantly on e-bay hunting for bargains on keys. And I do mean constantly. |
