The Pitfalls of Collecting

[Tnerb]

Or What happens when you don't Budget?

 

I can't remember the last CGC comic I purchased. I knew with both the Baltimore Comic Con and the NYCC there had to be a compromise on what I could and couldn't do. I chose to get books graded. The Baltimore convention was for me, with only a few to sell while the NYCC was to sell with a few for me.

 

I have been watching my invoices carefully. I have six at CGC with another two at CCS. That's eight invoices and right around fifty books with approximately another ten through a third party, after all I couldn't make it to Chicago. That's sixty books I hope makes it back to me before the New Year. Once this year is over I can submit it into the record books and begin planning for next year.

 

I might take a hiatus though. Sell what I can and then maybe fire sale the rest. I am fortunate where I don't have to sell these books but I want too. I won't get myself in a financial bind like I did before at the turn of the millennia with Star Wars toys. I am already set to go to two cons next year. I am not sure about Wizard World in Philadelphia but I would like to do Baltimore and the NYCC. And even though I accomplished the four major conventions this year, I wonder if I can do five next year. I probably can, but only if I budget.

 

Thanks for Reading
