Trying to find a single missing issue for my collection took me almost a year

I was trying to finish a full run of Amazing Spider-Man from the 80s and was stuck on issue #252 for ages. I checked every local shop in Phoenix, went to three big conventions, and even tried online groups. It finally showed up at a small shop in Tucson last month, and the owner had just priced it that morning. What's the longest you've had to hunt for a specific comic?

Seriously, a whole year for one comic? That seems like a lot of stress for a single issue, even for a key book. Maybe @rosel83 has a point about some covers just being more trouble than they're worth.

Hunted for a specific X-Men annual for two years.

Was that the one with the weird cover art I saw @jamie712? I heard those can be tough to track down.
