- yes, many back issue dealers have it, but what i really "want" is the fun of going into a comic shop in a new city or town and finding it there ... just like when i was 7 years old.

edited to add: yes, it will be bagged and boarded in the back issue bins, or in a plastic case behind the counter, but ... good enough to get that feeling i had at Greive's Drug Store oh so many years ago !

Other than the prohibitively-expense #1 or key-issues that we would all like to have, I can honestly say that I have most of the "holy grails" that I'd lost years ago:  Much like your parents giving you that old tall tale that your favorite pet "was given away to a farm," I once had my mother tell me years ago, after a big move to a new apartment, that my favorite box of childhood comics up to that point (a mix of 1976-1979 issues; I was only 7 at the time) had been "lost in the move."

Many years later, I slowly started to rebuild that particular collection... I probably have at least 98% of what I used to have back then, barring a couple Gold Key or Charlton issues, and/or comics that I may have completely forgotten I ever owned (I had more than a few with missing covers).  I think the last "unfulfilled want" of the bunch--and I'm not 100% sure I even had this one--would be this Superboy treasury edition:

I think I had it (maybe as a Christmas gift one year?), but I can't be sure until I've actually thumbed through it again.

(What I loved about those Treasuries as a kid--which you can't really recapture as an adult--was that those things were MAMMOTH, if you were between the ages of, say, 4 & 6!)
