Comic Books 08.27.2008 - What I Expect to Get

Here’s a little experiment I want to try. Every week I go to my local comic shop, and beforehand I prepare a list of what I plan to get. This list is, of course, never what I end up going home with. I want to try and track how accurate my list is in relation to my actual purchases.

I’ve gone through Diamond’s direct market shipping list for this week and made my choices. The top section reflects my actual pull list at my comic shop. The second section represents books that I might like to pick up, but I haven’t put them on hold and therefore I will check them out once I get to the store to make my decision.

The top line of the bottom section represents the grand total if I purchased all of the items in the first two sections (which never happens). The bottom line represents the estimated total I think I will spend based upon an educated guess of my actual tastes (this line is new to my list and I’m not sure how accurate it will be).
