Ok...Here's the wish list
#1 action comic
#1 Detective comic.
#1 spider-man
All #1 and key X-men comics.
Basically all key isues of above comics (all graded 9.9 or 10)
Fill all dansco albums with highest hand picked (by me...thrill of the hunt) then mirror all hand picked sets with highest ms graded slabbed coins. Then what ever else catches my eye
Mint in original boxes all Lionel blue Comet sets (along with the rest of the prewar Lionel lines really)
House...
warehouse to store collections.
museum to show off all the best acquisitions.

If $$ wasn't an issue - I'd be off the grid. I'd disappear.

"You forgot Amazing Fantasy #15! And how about Incredible Hulk #181. I was quite the comic book junky for a while as a teenager"
OK...those too
Basically all key #1 issues, and first appearance issues.
I said #1 spidey for those that didn't know that Amazing Fantasy held the first appearance of spidey. :-)
Either way, anything I want would have 2 word attached to them...Museum Quality

It was the pride and joy of my collection as a youngster. I still drool over Amazing Fantasy #15, and I am still contemplating getting a lower grade certified copy of this book(FR-G) even to this day. However, I usually end up spending it all on coins instead. |

For those of you contemplating redheads (or blondes or brunettes for that matter.) don't forget to collect lawyers and a couple quality safes. I suspect you will need several of both... Personally I would continue to buy 90% and 999 silver bullion and probably a secure storage facility to store all of my millions of pennies which would keep me sorting coins for several lifetimes Just picture me as scrooge mcduck swimming in a massive pool of lincoln cents.....

I'd probably just keep on collecting what I already do, just in a little better grade. Probaby the only new thing I would add would be I'd start working on the 18th century russian and siberian five and ten copper kopeck pieces. Big copper!
I'm surprised at the number of people who mentioned the redheads! I have a real weakness for them but didn't realize so many others did as well. You would think that if there is that much interest in redheads there would be more of them.

Yeah, redheads with freckles. With coins ... I can't think of much that I'd do differently than I'm doing now: spending a modest amount of money to collect foreign type coins, plus a few USA sets. For me, the fun is in the hunt as much as popping a coin into a holder.
But if it came to $ ... I suspect I'd do much the same as afcop13. Once I thought I'd like to live in a grass hut in the Pacific with a cute ... anycolorheadwithorwithoutfreckles to fan my face, but then I remember how much I love reading and books, and how much sand and humidity tend to ruin books. The iPad has changed all that. Woo-hoo! Time to dream again!

I like thinking big and since money is no option lemme go for something a bit different. I'd like to put together as close as I could to a complete date set from.... ever  For ancients and things before any specific dates were on the coins I could try to do 1 of each coin chronologically from different rulers etc. You'd have a collection that could vary drastically from different countries, languages etc. You could try to plan in gettin coins with subjects like animals, different shapes. It might be interesting to see how many different subcollections you could work in, OFEC? |
