So I was at comicbookdb after adding a few comics to my Wishlist due to Marvel Comics Database :
Generation Hope 10 (Lockheed in a photo)
Fallen Angels 7 (Magik in a flashback)
X-Men Unlimited 27 (Magik in a flashback)
Young X-Men 5 (Magik in a flashforward)
New Mutants Volume 3 37 (Magik is mentioned by name)
Bringing the total of my Wishlist to 294 comics, which I’m not thrilled about.
I had some time and I thought I’ll check to see how our friends at Mile High Comics, http://www.milehighcomics.com, could help me out. I had no intentions of going through the whole list but I had an hour to kill and so here is the break down :

| 60 that were not | |||
$2,197.68 for all of them and only 61 comics were not an option, that is a very impressive inventory.
I would like to spend at least $56.10 for the 43 comics that are under two dollars. If I play my cards right, maybe with a little bit of Tax Return money but the chances are higher that I won’t be able too. The important thing is this, that I keep saying that with one thousand dollars, I can buy all of the comics I want and it turns out, that I need closer to two thousand but now I know. Plus, if you take away the variant covers (those I don’t really need – if I need any of these) the number is a much more reasonable number.
$754.58 for 174 comics sounds awesome to me. Another thing that sounds awesome is how affordable some of the variants were. Usually I think they are over twenty dollars and so they are on a ‘never going to buy’ list but the six that were under the five dollar mark are ones I wouldn’t mind buying those, those are priced right. 59 variants for $1,443.10, yeah that’s not going to happened.
One of these days, I would love to get my Wishlist of comics down to under 200 comics, and then maybe 100 but not in the near future.
The great thing about Mile High Comics, is their code word sales, wherein you can save a bunch of money and get even more comics! I like hitting the $40 mark, free shipping at that price, and then enter the code word, get to see the savings, add comics to go back up to the $40 mark, enter the code word and see where I am at then. Usually, I get two rounds out of this and it is silly but it is a great way to appreciate the savings and the extra comics.
Ever since watching Josh Radnor’s ThankYouMorePlease, I have really been practicing appreciating everything.

Hi therе! I simply wish to give you a biɡ thumbs up for your greаt informatiօn youu have got here on this post.
I аm returning to your blog for more soon.
I hope you have come back! I really like Mile High Comics and I recently received an e-mail that the site is only going to list comics that are in stock, which I think will clean it up rather well as if you ever look up X-Men (1963) there are like thirty pages worth of comics.
