keep an eye out for the DC toys/statues in the Comic book shop that I have, and drool over the one's that I don't, which are usually statues, with a heavy price.

One thing my store is good at is the back issues, they must have around 800 Superman related back issues...it seems that whenever I put a dent in one of the rows, they fill it back up in a few days, damn bastiches! I try to get around 30$ worth of back issues every two weeks, and so far I have wiped out there 1$-2.49 comics. They have a ton of 3$ comics, and some random higher ones, but eventually I'll take care of the Superman titles, and then work on Batman(same MO), and then work on JLA, then probably work on Wolverine/Xmen.

The hardest thing for me lately is remembering what I all ready have, and one of these nights I'm going to have to sit down and enter all the titles/issues I have into Excel...so far, I haven't bought many doubles, out of around 300 comics I have gotten the past year, I think I've only bought 5 doubles, but its getting a lot harder to remember.
