Well at least you have the scans to compare and enjoy!  (thumbsu

I enjoy the memories from collecting FF and the other titles that I loved along with the books themselves, and the great people in the hobby that I had fun and did commerce with.

There are very few hobbies like collecting comics! Good, clean fun where you can do as little or as much as your budget will allow and you can pick it up or put it down whenever you choose, knowing it'll be there waiting for you when you return. (thumbsu

Did you decide to keep any books at all?  Are you ever tempted to buy any comics these days?

There are two small collections of unslabbed comics I still own, a near complete picture frame Marvel set and a collection of a little over a hundred Marvel reprint issues going back to the start of Marvel Tales and Collectors Item Classics/Greatest Comics.  For the former I still on occasion make a buy for an upgrade.  They've all been inventoried, graded and scanned for the inevitable time they'll be sold off.  The latter needs to be scanned, graded, priced, and sold, which I'll get around to someday before too long, after I've finished selling the small number of remaining Silver, Bronze, Copper, and Modern raw books and the Treasury Editions.

I'm almost 70 years old now, and the last thing I want to do is accumulate more stuff.  :wink:

My exit strategy as well!

 I’m currently putting together reprint runs in preparation for the time I sell off my originals. I’ve discovered that I don’t like reading Essentials, MasterWorks, Omnibi, etc. I like reading old comics on newsprint! These will keep me warm long after* the money from the sale runs out. 
 

*assuming I live that long, of course!
