It's been a rollercoaster ride (if rollercoasters were just you spending money and having a rapidly increasing number of boxes in your house) but thanks to IndigoPrime and blixab and eBay, I'm 1 comic away from an entirely complete collection.
1794!
If anyone has a copy they're willing to sell, please let me know.
Might be worth pinging this person a line on Gumtree, given that the collection isn't complete: https://www.gumtree.com/p/comics/2000ad-collection-430-to-1960/1156708795
Nice one - I never check Gumtree, I do scan Preloved from time to time.
Actually, now I think about it, I still need a few annuals. Best get them sharpish as well.
Think I've got one. let me check when I get home.

He's had some interest in the complete collection, sadly.

Pretty neat flat copy but does have a small tear on the lower left corner of the rear cover.

Yours for £2.50 to cancer research uk incl p&p
Pm me if you want it
Yes!
So, all being well, a few remaining PayPal payments to the fine members here and I am done. I sort of like the idea of a random issue from 2012 being the last one to track down (but will it be the last one to arrive?)

Despite what The Beatles may have you believe, happiness is not a warm gun, but a complete run (of Progs)! ;)
This thread fills me with a warm completionist glow.
It can be made even warmer if someone could sell me a copy of Megazine 352. It's all I need to re-complete my run of both the weekly and the Meg.
Pretty please, someone. I have groats awaiting. :)

Listen to "Fiesta" by the Pogues, which I've been humming for about a week now, and imagine me putting progs 10 and 1794 into their rightful places, and grinning from ear to ear.
I started in December of 2014, so I think I've done okay.
