Still but a few new releases, but cut way back about 10 years ago. Haha thats about 25,000 comics not worth paper printed on .... you must have a large unused spare bedroom FoggyNelson and Lucky Baru 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo749 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Current total 1,072 comics and 57 TPBs. My Dark Horse Terminator collection is coming together nicely, I think I've got (2) 4-issue minis and (1) 12-issue series left to complete and I'll have all the Terminator series published by Dark Horse.

Greenlama Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Still counting. I haven't had a comprehensive list since 1979. I have an estimated 20,000 books left as I've sold over 30,000 books over the years. I began collecting in 1963 but began reading comics in 1960. I inherited some of my earliest comics at that time (EC's, Avengers #1 Duck comics and Jungle comics.) I'm gradually entering them onto Comic Base. I have basically been bagging and boarding, evaluating grades and prices. Currently on a high grade run of Iron Man some of which I may have slabbed such as #55. Overall collection dates from 1941 to present. Gone are the days of buying almost every title from Westfield in the early 1980's. Some comics I regret selling but preferred original art over comics; although I culled almost 100 pieces last year. Several hundred comic books are signed in person: Williamson, Krenkel, Kirby. Russell, Ordway, Perez, Byrne, Adkins, Steranko, Infantino and Schultz come to mind. I will slowly have some key books slabbed this year. Luckily I have space to store them.

flashlites Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I have about 500 in my collection. Not many but I am a character specific collector. P.S. I have a few good books to trade for Flash comics I need to get rid of those pesky non Flash comics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not A Clone Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 14 long boxes, 14 short, 2 CGC boxes. About half of this is Spider-Man stuff and most of the rest are just modern runs from my pull list. I'm in the middle of a full inventory/quick grade, and then I'll be dumping the majority of the non-Spidey except for a handful of favs. Once they're gone, keys will be the only thing I hang onto outside of Spidey.Thank goodness for a large walk-in closet! tv horror 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Thomas Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hi everyone. I'm not new here, but I rarely post. I'll talk about my collection anytime to people who give a damn, though. I've currently got about 36,000 comics. I prefer raw copies in a nice mylar bag, but I've accumulated some slabs because of deals, and had my 3 Golden Age Superman, ASM 1, and Avengers 1 slabbed due to their value. It still bothers me that they aren't in line where they are supposed to be, but they do look good on display. I started collecting in 2010 after a 25 year break and have been aggressively buying all kinds of Marvel and DC stuff, with a few other publishers here and there. I'm retired, so comics are my full time hobby. It's gotten difficult for me to make big dents in my want list, though, because I basically have only the more expensive issues left to buy in the runs I'm working on. Oh, and I'm so far behind in reading them that I could probably never buy a comic again and not read what I have now. I'll get around to trying one day.

I've managed to get caught up on my Marvel stuff that I still buy & read, but found that I had no desire to do the same with my DC stuff. I finally recently quit buying DC & have decided to try & sell it off for something I actually want. Everything that was always being pushed to the bottom of my "read" pile got the axe too. Freed up more time and $ to look good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn17 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Current count is roughly at 2800 individual comics. Lots from the 90s that most people probably have or had at some point. 60 or so TPBs. Of those 2800, 300 or so are marked to be sold, eventually. Might continue to scale down my collection to "must haves" based on my own personal taste. Don't have any books slab, yet. That will be changing this year as I have identified some that I would like to get slabbed. Jimbo749 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Spider-Woman Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 As of 2016, when I stopped actively collecting, I had 1,497 comics and 71 trades/graphic novels. But those numbers will likely drop as I start pruning and getting rid of books I no longer want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
