How come your $#!T is stuff and their stuff is $#!T "George Carlin"

90% of my collection is protected and accounted for. If my internet continues to be a problem I see that number slowly lowering, the accounted for not the protected part. 98% of my collection is listed but once again my problem falls into the category on where to put it all. I tried a climate control storage place before but now it seems like a waste of money.

I could move into a larger apartment. The increase would be about the same as the cost of a climate control storage unit but at least I would have everything together. Either option takes away from any additional funds that I would have for my collection. If I chose one of the two it would be a larger place since I would like to display them for my pleasure and not just to hoard them.

As far as work is concerned I have stayed there for so long since I am making my money for my bills and things I want. Recently though this has become increasingly difficult. If I do make the change will I be able to save enough to learn any new job I have and stay away from collecting or will I be able to send some books in strictly for sale and whatever profit I make be able to sell off to then buy what I want? And if I am successful at this where do I put my stock?

I would love to be able to take my time and sprawl my comic books all over the apartment and properly grade them. This off course takes time and space, neither of which I have.

As far as touching base on what Lee K said about boxes, I know I have to pick up another box and I get them at the conventions, my local comic shops do not carry these, although I think I can get them from one in particular. CGC is written predominantly on the side and fortunately they fit very nicely into the shelving units I have. I did try the magazine holders in the beginning but with at least 265 books owned and more coming I think I might have to learn to be more creative. I do not know of any places (yet) that ship them out. Any suggestions on storage would be appreciated.

Thanks for Reading.
