With eight days left the ? is how much will I spend?

I have a little more than one week left. My books are already to be brought to Wizard World Philadelphia. I have eleven books that will be graded before the end of the weekend. I have another fifty books that I want to drop off for them to take to pre-screen for 9.8?s. I hope they are all graded as such but dread the financial repercussions. The fifty ?lot? is listed as well as the eleven I will be getting graded in previous journals.

The book I want graded most of all will most likely receive the worst grade. I have owned this book for twenty six years and I plan on reading it one more time, because after it is encapsulated I will never open it again. I don?t know how I feel about that. I have come to terms with collecting graded books, but only because I already have read them?well except that Daredevil #28 I unexpectedly won. I will have to buy it so I can read it.

I even started looking at the trade paperbacks they have of the New Mutants so I will be able to read it at my leisure. I do hope that with the resurgence of the New Mutants (and already up to #14) they will reissue them in hardcover as well. I already have lined up the new series to be graded, some of which are part of my fifty ?lot?, which I also already own the hardcover compilations.

When does it end? When is it enough? I have already strayed outside my designated collecting lane and have tried to real myself back in, but what will happen in eight days time. Will I overspend? Will I regret not spending enough? Will I get more graded books then raw books? And how many more shelving units do I need to buy just to store what I will acquire over the three day convention?

Thanks for reading
