Before I die I'd like to own...

[Herr Frohlings]

Hey guys,

I started collecting comics about a year ago and thought it'd be cool to make some sort of 'Holy Grail' list consisting out of comics that I really want to own before I kick the bucket, which hopefully won't be for a long time!

I made a list and, though it is far from being complete, would be really satisfied and happy if I managed to own these copies in the specific conditions I hope to find them in. I was wondering what are your definite 'must haves' are. Maybe it is only limited to one specific comic, or maybe your list far bigger than mine. Please share! Would like to see what your hearts desire! Here's mine:

Spider-Man
Amazing Spider-Man 40, 9.0 grade (Origin and defeat Green Goblin)
Amazing Spider-Man 42, 9.0 grade (first appearance MJ)
Amazing Spider-Man 194, 9.6 to 9.8 (first appearance Black Cat)
Amazing Spider-Man 361, 9.8 grade (First Carnage appearance)
Amazing Spider-Man 299, 9.8 grade (First Venom Appearance)
Amazing Spider-Man 300, 9.0 to 9.8 grade (First black-suit spidey)
Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars 8, 9.8 grade (First Venom suit appearance)
Amazing Spider-Man 121, 8.5 to 9.8 grade (Death of Gwenn)
Amazing Spider-Man 122, 8.5 to 9.8 grade ('Death' of The Green Goblin)

Batman
Batman 291, 9.8 grade (death of Batman)
Batman 612, 9.8 grade (Superman vs. Batman)
Batman 227, 8.0 grade
Batman 251 7.0 to 9.6
Batman 608 to 619 (Hush)

I come across many of those Spidey Books a lot and will make sure to contact you next time I find any on your hit list.

a few books I'd love to own...

ASM #129 CGC 9.8
Amazing Fantasy #15 CGC ??? (just something that presents half decent)
Journey Into Mystery #83 CGC ??? (again, just something that looks decent)

My dream is to have some of them in a grade 3.0 to 3.5....lol... I can't afford the higher grade one.

Believe me, before this list'll be complete I'll probably be a couple of decades older. Money unfortunately doesn't grow on trees!
