Very nice!
Signed limiteds are expensive, even more so when you have to add the cost of dinner and flowers for the wife.
Love the Dark Tower set! Someday I will have one too.
Nice looking collection. The bookcase is pretty cool as well.
Congrats on the nice-looking collection!

Looks great!
When I was a collector, I wanted everything and everything all at once. And it was great, but at the same time, my floodgates were open in all directions, all the time. It burned me out in about three years. So, my advice, should you choose to accept it (just watched Mission: Impossible 4, lol), is to have a goal and stick to it until it's complete. Then move onto the next one.
Thanks Shannon, it is brutal and I am already feeling the money crunch... I mean a signed S/L is a min $500 in most cases and I am dying for so many I see for sale. I think my main mission will be to just grab the books I do not have... Six Stories in Fine condition and signed is my next one I am going for... And if the opportunity arises I may sell my Dark Tower set and get one that is matching under #500 as it bothers me so much I will never have that as mine is not completable... kris

Nice collection, you've got some good books in there.

Kris, as Shannon states, focus on one specific collecting goal at a time (slow and steady wins the race and all that stuff).
Having said that, sometimes you'll stumble across a great deal and get the "I Want It, I Want It Now" bug - all I'd suggest in these instances (and they will happen as surely as night follows day) is that you weigh up the costs (not always only monetary) associated with the instant gratification of acquiring a piece you 'want' as opposed to an item you 'need' (ie- one that is on your target list).
Obviously, if the deal is just too good to pass up, and the disappointment of not sticking to your plan is significantly outweighed by the ongoing pleasure of having the impulse buy in the collection - then, yeah, go for it !!!!
I only offer these thoughts on the basis of my being (definitely in the past, and even a little still so nowadays) a little too spontaneous when it came to grabbing stuff that I hadn't planned for, thus delaying the acquisition of items I really wanted to see in the collection
As to upgrading existing books (like you mentioned with your DT set) I, personally, would put this right at the bottom of the "To Do" list
