2. Currently missing 22 ASMs from 1-100 (and I have 4 of these already lined up for purchase when I'm out from under #1). I'll probably take my time finishing this run off.
3. Currently missing 42 ASMs from 101-200, and 40 ASMs from 201-300 (also have 4 of these lined up as well). Being the runs with the most missing, I'll probably look to make some positive headway in this chunk of the run since many of these issues can be found in mid-grade for very little.
4. Continued progress on my BA X-Men 94-143 (including GS X-Men 1). Not entirely sure I'll finish it though. Currently 30 issues from that run, and I'd like to have this number down to about 10 by the year's end.
5. Continued progress on my CA X-Men 144-225 run (this is as far in the CA, minus a few minor keys, as I want to go). I'm missing about 30 issues in this run, but I'm in no rush on this set.
6. I'd like to start working on some cool Silver Surfer cover issues once I get my FF49. I'll probably be looking at this for a late summer project.
7. I've picked up some Spidey, CPT America, & Silver Surfer OA this year (two sketches and a published page- not bad for a start!). I'd like to be able to add a nice Batman piece of OA for this year. I've also been tooling around with the idea of getting an old school Wolverine sketch from Herb Trimpe. Someone else posted one on the forums earlier, and it really resonated with me. I'm also thinking of chasing some color guides. These are cheap ways to add some unique OA to the collection, but only at a fraction of the price.
8. Since I will be getting my own office in the house, I want to pick up some statuettes to liven it up a bit. I've got my Batman fix covered, but might look towards picking up something Spidey related towards the end of '08.
9. Acquire more signatures for my comics. The two I want most are Stan Lee and Neal Adams. IF Stan is available, I'll probably consider the John Romita Sr. signed-ASMs (39, 40, & 50) signed by Stan as well in addition to having my Blue Label ASM #1 exchanged for a Yellow Label Signature Series. For Neal Adams, I'd want my Batman 227 & 232 signed. I'd also like to get my ASM 252 signed by Ron Frenz, more Todd McFarlanes, Steranko, and Arthur Adams.
10. Last, but not least, update my entire comic book database to ensure all comics are accounted for, accurately graded, and OSPG values updated for 2008. This will be my big comic-related summer project.
Obviously, many of these goals are wallet-dependent.
If I can knock out even half of these, 2008 will be a successful year in my book.
