The hunt begins

I started this blog because I wanted to document my hunt for a couple of different comic book key issues or grails as they are referred to.  I also wanted to make it a challenge or a game.

Taking my inspiration from that guy who traded a red paperclip for a house, I decided I would tweak the idea and make it my own.

Here's the rules:
1) I will start each "hunt" with only $1.00.  I can use the $1 however I like but only $1.
2) I will "flip" comic books to make it so I can get the grail.
3) I will keep a running tally of what I spent, flipped, and total cost to compare if it would have just been cheaper to save up and buy it.
4) TBD...if this actually works out and I am able to do this I MIGHT use some of the newly acquired grails to go for a SUPER GRAIL.  Let's see how this works before I commit to that.

Next post, I will reveal what key or grail, I am going after. HINT: it's a common grail for comic book collectors.
