What is the ultimate collecting experience?

Coplete runs are the best rush, that way you can say you have them all. Original art, even though I don't have any, would kick *SQUEE* in your favorite series, then it would be more coplete to you than anyone else because it's finished, and you have something no one has.

Getting a good find at a LCS is an awesome feeling. I have had some in the past, but nothing recently. Most stuff has been combed through, and I just dont have time to hit the shops as much anymore.

Also though, I think the ultimate would be to have some real good originals, and some of the one-off items that I cant afford to get...

To me, the statue is like getting a Spider-Man statue commissioned by Ditko or Romita & given to Stan Lee. As much as many may hate Bob, the statue is a part of Valiant history, IMO.

I guess putting the awards up for sale was a huge deal for you. Seeing how they were the "ultimate Valiant collecting experience" for you.

I sold one award to MagnusR for what I paid for it. And I couldn't think of a better home or a bigger fan to share one of Bob's treasures with.

So you can keep your tomatoes, Chris, you'll never get an Award from me.

Full story runs are the best for me because I hate having a story part way and then you have to stop in the middle because you dont have all of it. I really hate when you cant find the whole thing. That is worst.
