Amra of the Ashanti Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Right now I'm about 6,000 books. Used to have twice as many, but got married and she complained it was taking up to much room. So I sold about half my collection. Should have kept the collection since I got rid of her a year later.

NSmith7275 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Just over 4,000 for me. Mostly late '70s - very early 90s Marvel and DC. Unlikely to add to it, but sell most and concentrate on acquiring a few personal keys. But if my 7-year old ever gets interested in comics, then I'll just give them to him.

niknikktm Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) I have never counted but I would guess somewhere between 20K to 25K??? I'm 58 and started collecting seriously when I was 8. Pretty much everything from 1972 on was purchased new and almost all of my key back issues were purchased during the 70's, except for Hulk #1. There's a cool story there. I had complete collections of many silver age Marvel titles by the time I was 16 except for Incredible Hulk which I was only missing #1. When I was 16 (1980) a friend of my mother whose father (who collected comics and recently passed) left his entire collection to her and her brother. I met her a few times in the past and had told her about my collection. She knew I was an avid collector like her father and after he passed, she GAVE ME Hulk #1!!! I would conservatively estimate it to be somewhere between a 7.5 to 8.5 grade, but it (like all of my books) has never been professionally graded. I've never sold even one book and I'm not about to start now. My daughter gets them when I check out.
