Not really.

 

I think it is more important for them to be worth something to you. Money is a cheap commodity (easily made and lost). If you enjoy those books then who cares what someone else thinks of them or their FMV?

 

I often pay well over FMV for books I want. Is it a smart investment? Not a smart monetary investment, but a smart investment in myself and what I enjoy collecting.

 

Keep collecting what you like. (thumbs u

Simple arithmetic. If one is good, more is better. ;) Why not have more than one if a comic is a particular favorite?

Oh no, youve let out the secret, now you're going to crash the market on these previously believed to be ultra rare books. There goes my retirement! There's always my hoard of moon knight 1....

Living here in the UK before the days of ebay/internet etc you just had to take what you could get, so I collected everything I could.

40 years or so of upgrading and absorbing smaller collections means I have a lot of duplicates.

I have never been one for selling so on it goes :)
