What I mean with reasonable is stuff that you could afford almost everyday, but just can't find copies, at least not at price that match curent offer/demand equation.
So maybe we can help each other out? But more than anything, that'll give us an insight into what is currently obsessing the "collector side of our brains :
Here's mine (not looking for high end condition) as of August 2017:
Acme Novelty Library (1995) 1st Printing #1-18
Arcade the Comics Revue (1975) #1-7 (Crumb & Co)
Bijou Funnies #1-8 (Crumb & Co)

Daredevils (1981 Marvel UK) #1-3, #6-8, #10, #11
Dark Horse Extra (the free promo/poster thing) #19, #27, #42-44
Doctor Who Magazine #118, #126
House Of Mystery #180, #184, #190, #195 (damn, I lost that one!), #196, #201, #203, #256, #261
House Of Secrets #83, #103
Hup #1-4 (Crumb)
Last Voyage of Sindbad GN (Corben)

THB 6 Mek Power #4D, Comics from Mars #1 (Paul Pope)
Unexpected (1956) #119, #121, #126, #127
Weird War Tales (1971 DC) #5, #6, #10

Stuff I am looking for (and hopefully I find a few this weekend when I go to a local show) but haven't found yet....
Heavy Metal #52 (July 1981), 61 (April 1982), 64 (July 1982) and 69 (Dec 1982); that would give me 1977-1982 complete
Savage Sword of Conan # 176, , 207, 219, 221 to complete the series
Jim Starlin: A Life in Words and Pictures (an artbook/biography from IDW; either cover is fine)
Epic Illustrated 20 (October 1983), 21 (December 1983), 25 (August 1984), to complete series
The Elric adaptation by Druillet
Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction 3, 5
Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein
there are other series I am working on (Star*Reach, Hot Stuf', Kamandi, Tarzan and Mister X in particular) but the above are the stuff at the top of my list.
I've got at least 2 and possibly 4-5 shows before the end of the year, but budgets are thin right now having missed 3 months of work, so it's more a matter of finding them and at the right price right now, until our budget recovers. The books (Starlin, Druillet, and Wrightson) might be out of reach for right now but in the right situation I might spring for one of them).

Top Most-Wanted Books (not quite 25)
Daredevil #65, 68, 69
Fantastic Four #100, 103, 104, 106, 107, 109
Marvel Premiere #28
Shanna the She-Devil #1
Werewolf by Night #1
While there are some other things that I might be interested in picking up (some of the Marvel Giant-Size books, for example), if I got these, I could be reasonably satisfied with the state of my collection and could forgo too much more hunting for books.

I have a few odds and ends that I'll probably never get because they're priced out of all reason, IMO. For example:
Savage Tales #1
Conan the Barbarian #1
Iron Fist #14 (I think it is - it has the first appearance of some villain I can't even remember the name of)
Tomb of Dracula #10 (first Blade)
Avengers #57 (first Vision)
X-Men #94 and a few other early issues of the Claremont/Cockrum X-Men (particularly annoying because I had most of them at one time)
Then there are a few other things that seem to be simply hard to come by but might not be too expensive if I ever do see them, like Esteban Maroto's over-sized Dracula comic, of which I have about half the issues.

I really need ASM 9 & 17 and I have money for the right books.
Would love a lower grade FF 1 too.

I am lucky enough to have most of my "ultimate & reasonable want list" except for a few ones that I just can't find. Most of that being pre-code stuff that is so old it's both very hard to find and very expensive.
There is one book I have been chasing my whole life that I just can't get my hands on and that is the 35 cent variant of Marvel's Star Wars #1 (1977).
I also would love a 1-100 run of the Fantastic Four which I am working on, but the first ten books are so expensive they are sort of out of that "reasonable" range.

There is one book I have been chasing my whole life that I just can't get my hands on and that is the 35 cent variant of Marvel's Star Wars #1 (1977). Yeah, I'd quite like that one myself, but it's so expensive these days. I mean, it was always pretty expensive, but over the last decade its gotten ridiculously expensive. I wish I'd bought a copy back in the 90s, when I completed the rest of my SW collection. There are actually 35 cent variants of issues #2, #3 and #4 as well. I have a full run of Marvel's original Star Wars comic, including all the UK only stories too. If you're a fan of the series, you might want to check out my review thread for it... classiccomics.org/thread/1039/star-wars-marvel-reviews-confessor |

I'd love to look for more undergrounds (the first wave, from about '68-'76), but there are damn few at most of the comic shows I go to. And they seem to be either really ratty or bagged 'n boarded with hefty price tags. I don't want to get into tracking down a run, but I'd probably spend some money if I could find a copy of theis one shot:  |
