Solitaire, maybe these other people would have their collections complete if they had a team working them:
"At the urging of the staff of the now-defunct Sparkle City Comics, the collector chose to expand the parameters of the collection to include all of the comic books ever published by DC.
For 5 years, until its dissolution in 1992, Sparkle City served as the main conduit, funneling vintage DC Comics into the collector's hands. With their heavy annual show schedule, the company was able to easily connect with other dealers and private collectors throughout the country in order acquire needed items.
A dedicated band of fellow collectors and other supportive dealers also actively participated in the hunt over the years. It was common practice at the beginning of a major convention for the hunters to congregate at the Sparkle City table for copies of the latest want list update, before fanning out into the dealers room."
At what point do you ceace being the collector and become the financial backer? And I concur with Sax: now what? I was wondering about what he spent just buying the entire line of new DC releases each month. Anyone want to do the math? How many books do the publish? |
