Quite a bit of the stuff I know I can't financially replace, but none of it was rare. Zero sellers remorse here too, (i have gotten a headache before though when i sold something ) whenever i sell something it is because i needed the money for one reason or another , i sold an entire run of original X-men in 1995 for $400 , sure it would be worth more than 5K today ,... but i really needed the money back then and $400 was a lot of money to me back then FoggyNelson, Brandon Shepherd and Lucky Baru 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the problem for me. Selling stuff for a comparative pittance compared to today's prices while I was at college and at my most impoverished.

FineCollector Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 If you're unsure if a comic should stay or go, keep it. When you feel nothing for a book at all, that's when it can go. I always have trouble with discussions like these. I'm a run collector, so there's very little room in my collection for trimming. I can't understand keeping just keys. Who owns just one baseball card, or just one Hot Wheels car? I get the significance to the story, and their monetary value, but do those books resonate with you on an emotional level, or are they just the ones you're supposed to have? If you don't have pride of ownership beyond the price sticker on top, then they're just another trinket in the garage to put out the next time you have a sale.

The problem there is that I don't have any comics for which I feel nothing. I am taking solace in knowing I could still buy back some things. Putting the collection together was a great time, and it's all still out there. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newshane Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 How do I deal with it? Well, I don't get rid of a book I love until I find a book I love even more. Then it's not very bothersome. 1950's war comics and Brandon Shepherd 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could get it down to about 150 short boxes from about 250, I'd be happy. Send me your 25 Spidey short boxes ... that'll put a dent in it!!

exitmusicblue Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Another idea is to trade. Done a lot of trading of stuff I no longer wanted for very cool stuff... just a matter of finding the right folks at cons and elsewhere !
