man.
this sucks.
as i'm going thru and running my books that i've been buying into my collection i've noticed some things.
"what things?" i can almost hear you asking...well something like this.
books i thought i had...books i could've sworn i owned are not here.
that's right...instead of being 1 issue from a regular run i'm, for now anyway, sitting at 3 away.
apparantly i don't have secret weapons #20, or solar #60 in addition to the harbinger #6 i'm missing.
dammit...i'm very, very anal with my books...i pride myself on knowing what i have and what i don't so i'm shocked i don't have these.
anyway...i'm doing an emergency valiant inventory beginning tonight thru the next couple of days.
i'm actually going to seperate them from the rest of my books from now on since they'll be a complete run.
i WILL complete this run dammit...<ggrrrrr>

Yeah, I do that both ways. I don't have issues I thought I had and do have issues I didn't think I had.

For example, a while back I was so excited to finally win Harbinger #6 on ebay and complete my run until I checked my collection and realized the one I was missing was #4. Argh...

I just found out that my Harbinger #6 that has been in storage for years does not have the coupon!!! Now I gotta find one with a coupon!!! Darn it!

I know I had Amazing Spider-Man #298 because I use to have the three of them hung on my wall. Now Amazing Spider-Man #298 is missing and I'm not sure when I lost it

Damn it! I had Detective #27 under my bed, and now I can't find it! Argh! My dog must have eaten it.

LOL!

I still want to know what happened to my Mark McGuire USA Team rookie card. It was my prized possession as a kid. I wouldn't have sold it for ANYTHING. Yet, when it's price peaked at $450 soon after he broke the homerun record, I went into my collection to ebay it, and it wasn't there.

Son of a gun.

Every thing I ever "invested" in as a child has lost money. No wonder I hate the stock market.

The black one does look guilty of something now that you mention it.

Why does it always have to be the black one that did something?

(Clever face placed in case someone takes this seriously.)
