Comics - Comic Book Collections #2: The Collection is Growing

**The Crow** · 11-27-2006, 07:31 AM

The old thread was over the limit, so here's a new one.

Bah, the forum can take 10 posts over the limit.

I think I'm going to start scaling down what I collect....I've expanded too much. I'm going to shoot for 10 bucks or less a week.

**The Crow** · 11-28-2006, 07:01 AM

That's a good target. I wish I could drop down to that.

**Cryostar** · 12-03-2006, 08:00 PM

Well I missed it the last week....20 bucks, which I guess is ok, since it's less than the 30-40 I was spending....but still, we'll try harder this time.

I forgot to put my order in last week, so I didn't order any comics for last month. I'll have to pick them up on the stands I guess.

Coming down to earth with the rest of us, eh?

I only spent 7 bucks this week, picked up Uncanny and Rebellion. Not so bad for me.

Back to earth sounds good to me. Of course, after Christmas I'll be back to spending $50 bucks a month at the least.

I wish I was only spending 50 bucks a month. Damned Turner and his Variant covers. I'll get you yet!

I've been spending way too much on comics still. I buy at a faster rate than I read. Even though my place is packed with comcis, I can't stop.

Long time, no see...How's it going?

I'm doing well thanks.

How about you? Sounds like you've got some great acquisitions.

I'm actually thinking of splurging on some old back issues I've wanted for ages.

**The Crow** · 12-20-2006, 08:35 AM

I had to fix one of my cars, so I don't have the money to splurge right now. I'm going to after I sell that damn thing.

$7 at the comic book store! HA! Next week is going to kill me.

They've been ok, I've been saving up to get the Diamond version of Soulfire 1...the cover looks awesome.

I've been reading the Wizard about upcoming mini-series and such. 2007 is going to be a bad year for my wallet.

I eliminated a huge chunk of my debt, so I have more disposable income. But I've been buying more comics so I don't really feel them.

I want to make a list of key issues and such I really want, so I can be more focused and productive with my comics budget. Right now my process is just picking up whatever catches my eye at the stores. And I do too much "settling" on eBay, if I lose an auction for something I want, I'll always bid on a "consolation prize" instead of waiting for a new auction for the item I actually want.

That being said, I managed to not buy anything from eBay for a solid 6 months.
