What's in your "To Be Sorted" stack?

shaxper · Post by **shaxper** » Sun Dec 05, 2004 1:06 am

I don't know about you guys, but after a big day of hitting up LCSes or conventions, I don't generally get all my books rebagged and put in the propper box right away. Generally, the less important issues sit around for a while, waiting to be processed. Do you guys have piles like these? If so, what's in them?

Mine:

Uncanny X-Men #148
New Teen Titans (1st series) 7-11, plus two drug awareness give-aways
New Teen Titans (2nd series) 6
Real Ghostbusters #4
Further Adventures of Indiana Jones #1
Chaos Effect Alpha
Infinity Gauntlet 1-2
Transformers (1st series) 1 (2 copies), 5
Shadowman 4
Psi Force (New Universe) 1-5

Most of these were found in bargain bins. A few were lesser issues ordered from MHC to hit the free shipping quota. The New Teen Titans drug awareness issues were the best, though. Absolute fifth rate work by the regular creative team

Hey, the new Iron Man was pretty good. And Captain America and the Falcon got better once Bart took a hike.

I don't know why that guy was drawing Cap with those damn Melanie Griffith lips.

What's in my 'to be sorted' stack?

I don't know....I need to sort it!

Actually the whole Vault needs to be sorted.....I don't know where to start...

My comics have not been in order since 1991.

No foolin'.

Now, it's too overwhelming, with not enough space, so I just say "I know I have this somewhere, and eventually, I'll stumble upon it, but...eh, I'll just buy another copy".

Several hundred longboxes like that.

Sigh.

I don't have an "unsorted" pile per se - it's more of an "unlogged" pile. I purchase the books, read them, set them on my computer desk, and then put off logging them in my inventory for a few days. So, in keeping with the theme - here are my "unlogged" books - all from a purchase at Half Price Books on Friday.

Darkness: Infinity
(One shot, and since it was a quarter, it was a palatable purchase.)

X-O Manowar #17, #18, #48, & #68
(This was sold as a lot of 4, and I only purchased it because my copy of #68 met a sad demise a few months ago. This restores my X-O run to complete.)

Predator vs. Magnus Robot Fighter TPB
(Found this for a $1. $1~! This completes my Magnus run... )

Warriors Of Plasm #1, #7, #8, #10
(Again a lot of 4 books, this is the most pristine version of #8 that I had even seen... the book feels CRISP, as if I pulled it right from the printer's stack...)

Dark Dominion #1, #3, #6, #7
(This lot of 4 bought solely for a GOOD copy of DD #7, which when coupled with the WoP purchase above completes my run of ALL Defiant books.)

Spitfire (aka Spitfire & The Troubleshooters) #4, #5, #6, #7, #9, #10, #12, #13
(This finished my second run of all the New Universe books. YAY!)

Legends Of The DC Universe #1, #4, #5, #7
(I'll be honest - it's the Glen Orbik cover paintings that made me buy this series to begin with, and I always buy extras when I see them on the cheap just in case I ever need to tear a cover off for reference material.)

Add to that my stack from my LCS this Wednesday:

Swamp Thing #10
The Darkness #17
Outsiders #18
GI Joe vs. Transformers II #4
The Question #2
Deadshot #1

...and my second copy of Powers #6 (first one lost in a horrible taping accident *shudder*) makes for one very cluttered desk.

In fact, I'd better stop writing ABOUT logging the books and start logging them before my wife notices!

On my desk right now are three copies of HEPCATS #2 By Martin Wagner, that I have NO IDEA where to file......... Do they go under funny animal , or mature reader?

wrunow · Post by **wrunow** » Sun Dec 05, 2004 2:08 pm

Well, currently on my desk I have about 165 assorted independant books that need a new home, comico, first, that kind of stuff. I also have a pile of about 175 pre unity books that need to be put away and inventoried with the Greg system when I have time to work another long box into the VALIANT shelf.

Master Dorque · Post by **Master Dorque** » Sun Dec 05, 2004 2:43 pm

Don't remind me! I've been bad....my to be sorted stack is about 2 short boxes worth! Lots of X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Y The Last Man, Ultimate Fantastic Four, Strangers in Paradise, 4, Conan, Wanted, Secret War, Marvel The End (see how far back it goes!) and too many others to mention.

comicguy · Post by **comicguy** » Sun Dec 05, 2004 4:07 pm

I have not had the time to sort and log my purchases for almost a year. This includes both new and old issues

. I just counted almost 11 short boxes full need to be done

KO2003 · Post by **KO2003** » Sun Dec 05, 2004 9:32 pm

I have about five hundred comics that are waiting to be processed. Which boils down to bagging and boarding them with cheap bags and boards or with Mylar bags and 4 mil Acid-free buffered Full back backing boards.

Comics valued at $20 or more and hard-to find issues in NM/MT condition are pulled out first to get the best treatment.I am sorting through a long box from a shop that had an 80% off back-issue sale. I picked up some really nice Silver age Incredble Hulk, Conan,Thor, Justice League of America ,and some Bronze-age X-men in VF or Better condition for .20 cents on the dollar. Not to shabby.

Tons of 90's marvels...Punisher, Ghost Rider. A near complete run of X-Statix. An almost complete run of Defiant comics...

Quarter bins rule...

hillmanthe2nd · Post by **hillmanthe2nd** » Mon Dec 06, 2004 9:00 am

Complete run of Hulk from #145 - #400+, complete run of Marvel G.I. Joe, and about 600 misc Marvel/DC books. Been waiting to be sorted since I bought them at an auction back in July!

dave · Post by **dave** » Mon Dec 06, 2004 5:10 pm

misc star wars issues...transformers, trans vs gi joe's and other stuff like that-that i think is cool and buy it whenever i find it in bargain bins

oh and the battle of the planets stuff too! i got a bunch of those for 50 cents each...

Master Dorque · Post by **Master Dorque** » Mon Dec 06, 2004 8:15 pm

You have inspired me. Today I bought 2 new short boxes, and tonight I will begin sorting the new stuff in. Thanks for helping to get me off my @$$, and earning me some brownie points with the wife!

I hav eno idea...so valiant...some secret wars...some cerebus..maybe some other stuff that I forgot I bough. Oh yeah i started collecting football programs, so I have a stack of those to sort also.

greg · Post by **greg** » Tue Dec 07, 2004 1:58 pm

I have a couple of longboxes that have never been inventoried...
but I didn't really want to dig into them right now.

At this point, if it's in a box, that's good enough...

So... here's what's not in a box sitting on my "most recent purchases" stack.

I bought several old Overstreet Price Guides from someone
on the CGC message boards and this little sketch came with them for free!
Evidently, the guy had met Art Nichols years ago and had him
do a sketch in his "autograph book".

He figured I would enjoy it, so he cut it off the page and sent it to me!
Needless to say, I appreciate it very much!

Yes, it's a Turok #1 VVSS and I'm sure I paid less than $10 for it (including shipping).
So, I'm probably in the market for VVSS books under $10.
