I have been what I would call a comic book saver. I read lots and lots of comics, put them in plastics and then into long boxes. I have been at it for years. But in reality I have just started collecting them in earnest for just a few years now. I have looked at what I want and have started picking up graded comics. While I have many, many log boxes and file cabinets full of comics just now have I been really working on getting them better organized and cataloged. I must say that I have been enjoying them much more. After reading through all the posts, the best advice I have read is: Collect what you like to read. If you enjoy reading them, then any monetary value that they retain is a bonus.
