Learn to be picky fast with HQ. If you try to pick up everything, you'll go broke really quick.

Bills first toys 2nd and I am just glad my money is my money and my wife's money is her money so no big fights.

I plan on taking a chunk of my income tax check and getting a few comics.I thought about putting all my eggs in in basket but after looking on ebay I decided to shop around and go for like 2/3 instead of just one.

In my experience, Jan/Feb are good times to buy. Prices are a little depressed so your dollars go a little further.

Good luck. HQ is one of my faves.

That's great insight to know for sure and the one that tops my list is the Pink Variant Bullet Proof edition 1/800.

I don't have that one. There were so many HQ#1 Rebirth variants, I just pre-ordered a few. I may go back and pick up a few more now that 9.8s are flooding the market. That one will be tough though.

One thing you can consider moving forward, work with Indy (on this forum) to pre-order raw books for grading. If you chose wisely, you can save a good bit verses buying the slabs on ebay after the fact. You can also look into a service called CGCsubscrption.Com, but they won't do any store exclusive or incentive variants. They do incentives normally, but the demand for HQ is too high.

Very cool, she has some great covers out there..I agree with you on sticking to certain comics - when I got back into comics last year I was all about star wars but then started buying just about EVERYTHING..I've cut back and focused on SW, Batman, and Walking Dead now..looking forward to your collection posts!

Turn around and dont get into this addiction --- it is an addiction and you will do things to support it.


So, get out while you still can!


On the other hand, set priority. If BA 12 is on top that list, be that. Save up and dont get distracted with all the variety out there -- and there are a LOT.


The less money you wasted on varieties, the faster you will get a 9.8 BA #12.

I'd love a 9.8 too, but that ship has sailed.....

But 9.2-9.4 copies are reasonably affordable. Trust me, you won't regret it.

I don't think there is any rush to buy that book. Most people think it has peaked. There are TONS of high grade copies out there. There are well over 100 copies available for sale on ebay right now.

If you really want to buy one... put $10 or $20 or whatever you wont miss aside every week, and when you have enough in the kitty treat yourself. If it takes two years... don't worry, there will be plenty of copies available.

Right now I'm focus on lower end and mid tear Comics to build up a collection and my kitty money is for our family vacation and Comic Con is out of the question so maybe Disney.

I think I will start looking at #12 in a year or two because my collection is extremely small.

I do like a few older comics of Quinn and I think they will be next.

Have you looked into sketch covers or OA? A lot of artists out there draw a great Harley. :)
