Hi Ron

I'm in the process of trying to get a full run of 2000AD - UK Weekly Comic

There are 2,212 issues (at present) and I have now filled some gaps...... less than 100 issues to go to get the full run

I now have a full run of issues 34 through to 967 so a consecutive run of 934!

Cheers

Joe

You probably already know but Comic Link has some Detective Comics below #77 closing tonight. I saw them and it reminded me of this thread and your run.

Rusty, what does your Detective run look like?

I sound like a broken record, but I lost interest in owning runs after acquiring Amazing Fantasy #15. I started wanting more keys and less of the common issues. I own too many comics as it is.

I bought a house with enough room to store however many comics it takes for me to decide I'm done. I love my big expensive keys, but I like working on runs between my mega dollar purchases. I don't really collect anything passionately besides comics, and I decided when I started collecting again in 2010 that i would build my collection by following whatever whims i felt while shopping. So far it's lead to a collection of over 43,000 comics, a bunch of complete and almost complete runs, and still a 35-page want list. Still much cheaper than my second passion, muscle cars.

I keep buying the latest issues because I have a feeling they will revert back to the original numbering system as they approach #1000.

If they stop and restart again, that may drive me out of new comics but there are still so many golden age books I need.

I will make you a friendly bet that they revert back as they approach 1000. I think they are only at about 860 right now so it will still be a few years.

Boy those Golden Age Batmans are getting so expensive. I haven't bought one for a year because a low grade will cost me a grand by the time I pay shipping, import, and exchange to Canada.

Here's one I have my eye on but I can't afford a big buy right now. It'll probably end up around $400 US.

I was a little off... it sold for $521. So this raw golden age Batman #6 that would grade .5 or 1.0 at best sold for $521 but on CPG it is valued at $200 in .5 and $300 in 1.0. I feel like there needs to be an adjustment made across the board to golden age low grade books. Also, I feel there should be a coverless (.3) option for the grade. Furthermore, I have a graded page from Batman 1 that I can't enter in the database even though it cost me $300 USD.
