What else do you collect?

I collect, outside of Valiant, just about everything comics (pretty much superhero) from Action #1 and up. Working on a complete 80's collection (every single book published by virtually anyone with a Jan 1980-Dec 1989 cover/indicia date....nearly complete DC, Marvel, now working on Gold Key, Charlton, and Archie. Hard as hell!)

Also complete Batman, X-Men, and Daredevil collections.

Outside of comics, coins, specializing in US and Canadian. I'd love a complete US collection, but it's pretty much impossible with the couple of unique or 2-3 pieces in existence coins. As close as it gets, however, would run about $75-$80 million, in VF to Unc condition these days. 1804 $1 alone sells for $2 million+ these days, as does the 1913 5¢. Kinda tough.

Complete Canadian, while not as varied and artistic as US issues, is still a nice set, and the super keys, 1911 $1, 1936 dot dime and penny, 1969 Large Boat dime in Silver, 1921 Half, etc are 1/50th the cost of comparable US issues.

Also collect DCI tapes and CD's.

You know you're watching a bad bowl game... when the field is blue.

We all have are black sheep relatives.

I think they do it to make the visiting team sick and easier to beat.

It must work. Over the last two years, they have been one of the most successful Division I football teams in the nation. Who'd of ever thunk it !!!!!!!

I used to also collect action figures and other toys in addition to comic books but I have decided to stick with just comics and slowly get rid of the toys.

With 96 short boxes of comics I had to decide what to do(plus the wife said it is one or the other because we were running out of storage room in the house!!)

I will collect just about any comic that I can find

that really keeps my wife happy!!

Boise St. against the spread ... great odds! The blue plays with people's head I think.

Hey, Zepher, in that 80's collection, how many comics are we talking about?

Wow.
