Sad to say probably way to many.

People still gather in large groups here in Toronto even with  the city on lock down

Same here in the UK. The beaches and parks were full this past weekend.

If they managed to some how hold SDCC, I wonder how many people would break lockdown to go

What series is it?

this

is

crazy

Although rather impressive, my personal preference would have been an invitation to view Ayman Hariri's Impossible Collection in the absolutely gorgeous St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London a couple of years ago:

Did this actually happen? I see it was 'coming soon' but never heard anything else about it.

Don't know if they're on the boards, but that channel is run by the son of the owner of Hero Headquarters in Colorado. I've posted this video before but it shows the bulk of their collection.

Only place I've seen bargain bins here in the UK, is at comic marts and they consist of 90s comics

Don't feel sad @Xela, it's all part of the process of the collectors existence. They say it's better to have loved and lost remember... I had an absolute ball collecting comics for many many years. And I had a ball selling them too. And now I just dabble enough to keep me close to it all, because comics are in my DNA. 

There are three groups to consider when you get older I think. You, your loved ones and your comics. You want to do right by them all. So moving your comics on to grateful recipients by selling them properly in advance is doing right by your comics - they don't end up getting 'chucked out'. Paring your collection down helps you do right by your loved ones - they don't have the pressure of dealing with them and potentially unscrupulous dealers if you pop off first. Keeping back a small amount does right by you - it keeps you in the comic world you love.

I've enjoyed all the phases, and continue to enjoy the small areas of investigation I've retained. I still go to fairs and shops, I still admire the look, feel and smell of old comics but I just don't buy and own mountains of them anymore. I have some cracking memories and I know that if I fall down a hole tomorrow, no one I care about will have any comic related hassle to deal with.

You may not understand this if you're 30, or even 40. I think you might though when you hit that magic number where you start to see your loved ones go, and you stop and take stock. Of everything.

Death is a tragedy for sure. I don't have an issue with it, but I'd rather not be there when it happens, and I hope it is many many years off for me. But it will happen. I could be selfish and live only for my needs and wants. Keep everything! Or I can consider others......

So don't be sad.........

.......?

Bang! 

 

Preventing your family having the burden of the comics is a good way to look at it.... I'm only 25 so I hope I don't have to deal with it this for many years

Very interesting discussion but I can't help but feel sad reading it...

that cover is a beauty

I saw the date and thought you hadn't sold and were bumping 

picked this up yesterday
