I'm not actually a comic collector either. I own about 200 comic books, but have only read a fraction of them. I mostly enjoy looking at the covers.<br /><br />I'm headed over to your site to check out the TMNT movie preview comic.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-51307863894586920062013-02-03T06:04:06.324-08:002013-02-03T06:04:06.324-08:00Since my focus is vintage cards, the budget allows...Since my focus is vintage cards, the budget allows for one or at most a few cards at a time. Buying a complete set (if one can be found) can be very expensive. <br /><br />I also like the idea of examining each purchase when it arrives, taking special care to read the backs and research the player. (many of these players were deceased before Iever heard of them).<br /><br />Nice comics. I have picked up a few gems over the years although I am not a comic collector per say. I have a TMNT movie preview comic.

I have a dual with him and Betances from their Team USA days.<br /><br />As for sets I'm definitely NOT a set collector but I am trying to finish the 2012 Topps Sega Card Gen base set and with that set I have no choice but to finish it myself since they come 1 card per turn via arcade machines and not in boxes like normal cards. I do however, try and collect team sets of, you guessed it, the Yankees whenever I can. Like if I buy a box or a couple of packs of something and I end up with more than half of the Yankees cards in the checklist I may go after some of the rest I need.<br />So either way I guess I'm a do-it-myselfer.Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-51409867529627221872013-02-02T19:49:41.886-08:002013-02-02T19:49:41.886-08:00Bro...
