I just wanted to see what other comics does everyone collect? I collect the main X-titles, Uncanny, X-men 2nd Series, Wolverine, and Origins. Vertigo: I collect Sandman, Preacher, The Dreaming, Books of Magic, Transmetropolitan, Hellblazer, Swamp Thing, Y the Last Man, 100 Bullets, Fables, Jack of Fables. Some indies include: Miracleman, From Hell, V for Vendetta, Watchmen. I used to get some of the Crossgen books and some main stream DC here and there, like All-Star Superman.

You'd better steer clear of the Dead Universes section.

Unless you're ready to catch that particular sickness.

Anything Valiant.

Anything X-Men.

Been trying to slowly expand outside that but so far nothing as dynamic as those 2...

Original Valiant minus variants

Branching out into misc. Valiant promo items

Need to finish my reading set before I start anything else.

Collect Spider-man, X-men, Wolverine, and Batman by story arc. X-O pretty generally.

Now I have just grabbed a few tpb's of Spider-man, Batman, and the Valiant tpbs. Almost done assembling a full run of Rai and Magnus.

IDW's Transfomers trades and the occasional TPB and hardcovers.

I've got a PILE of stamps that my grandfather had...

One of these days, I'm going to find out if they're worth enough to put my kids through school.

What might I find there? Once I hear about something in usually does turn into a full fleged sickness.

Thats amazing, how many copies do you have? I used to play magic the gathering professionally and I had my goodluck collection of 100 Hypnotic Spectors, so I can understand that.

Worlds of mystery and intrigue.

It's dedicated to now-defunct comic companies/lines and a growing community of guys buying and trading their ways into complete runs of them. Stuff like Cross Gen, Ultraverse, Defiant, Broadway et. al. There's quite a buffet of them. For some reason, quite a few Valiant collectors seem interested in other defunct companies.

ARGH.

You make me pay extra for them!

ZephyrWasHOT!! · Post by **ZephyrWasHOT!!** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 8:31 pm

I collect coins, Star Blazers videos, and nearly anything published by Marvel, DC, Valiant, EC, Image, etc. If it's in comic book form, I'll probably have it or want it.

caniac · Post by **caniac** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 8:34 pm

I collect Valiant of course, ASM, 1933 Goudey baseball cards, coins (but most will come from an inheritance from my grandma, hopefully later rather than sooner) and GPK.

No one is selling these right now. And the ones that are have them so over-priced it's laughable.

That's true.

Not even Drew's passing could stir up any selling interest in these.
Those who have them will not sell.

Very true.

I still kick myself for passing up I, Lusiphur 1-20, NM, for $100. Argh.
