Ever lose a comic in your stash and tear through every box searching for it???

[gradejunky]

I always buy 2 copies of almost everything I read/collect, so when I can't find one I start to get really pissed. I just "lost" my keeper copy #2 of the new Nova series, and am at a loss. I tore through all my unboxed books looking for it last night to no evail. I also serached in a bunch of other boxes thinking it might have slipped in them. I think I might have got it mixed in with something else, and now it is in some DC box or something. Anyhow, I went to the LCS to get another copy and, of course, they are sold out . I know I can get another, but that's not the point. I want to find that one.

 

Does this happen to you too???

Every week. Today I couldn't find my reader of EoW, but the other 43 copies were sitting right there. It always turns up a few hours to days later. Batman #7 the other week. It's always something.

Giant Size Xmen #1. Only copy I ever owned. I must have sold it in a $50 long box.

[Awax]

Too many times.

Every time I sell something from one of my drek boxes that I listed on eBay last summer... Otherwise I keep my moderns all alphabetical order and separated into Independent, Image and Marvel.

It might explain why my $50 long boxes sold so fast.

Sold all to the same guy I assume. Bought one found gold and hoped for more gold in the others... BTW, how the heck do you ship a long box?!? From Canada that would be bank!

As do I, but before they get into the boxes I have them in nice stacks waiting to be stored away. I also have a box just to hold all my readers in until I'm done, then off to their respective boxes they go. I just can't even imagine where the hell this book walked off to.

Yes.

 

I actually ship short boxes. In this case it was a local kijiji sale.

Im currently looking for a Cap annual 8 that has been driving me mad.

[Awax]

A few weeks ago I swore I had another Sixth Gun #1. I tore through all my boxes, it was killing me. Even had my LCS look up if I had bought one there. (I did for $1 )

 

Still thought I had another. Finally dug up an invoice I had and realized I had bought one less than I had thought.

 

I found some other cool books while digging though.

Wow! I keep everything categorized,would never lose a book ever.I guess it's the OCD in me.

Happened to me yesterday. Looking for EOW that I set aside, went through the "comic book" room and all the stacks. Went downstairs and found it on the dining table with a stack of mail.

CDO. Get it right. If you really are that organized you keep them alphabetical.

I'm OCD as well. All my boxes are alpha-numeric by Marvel/DC/Dark Horse/Valiant/all others. I just know it was in one of the stacks on top of my boxes waiting to be stored. Unless maybe it was one of the books I inadvertantly had fall from my lap and smash the corners on a few weeks ago. In that case the books are worthless to me so I would have tossed them. Maybe that was one of them. I can only remember Superior Spider-Man #2 & 3 being victim to that, but maybe this book was one ot them as well.

I guess I forgot to mention the excel spreadsheet...
