I'm not really sure, but it's about 90-100 short boxes, including magazines.

The largest part of it is DC & Marvel SA & BA, but also other publishers and some GA. Maybe a dozen are CA and whatever else one calls them after BA. I switched from long boxes to short boxes because they're easier to move around. I also got metal shelves on wheels, the kind that restaurants use to store pots and pans on, so it's easy to shift a whole section of my collection if I want. The last time I moved I just rolled them all into the U-Haul.

I currently have 28 GA Actions!

My daughter has I believe 6 nice GA and SA books.

There are moderns and Reader SA/BA scattered from one end of the house to the other. :tonofbricks:

 

Mark me down for 28 books. :grin: I believe the second smallest number in this thread. :cry:

 

Edited: The guy with the lowest number has a 6.5 Action #1

4 longboxes and 4 shortboxes makes about...1600? Almost all purchased during the 80s. I think my last new comic was Spawn 1...

 

EDIT: I exaggerate. I have bought a comic or two since then, but not much!

 

If even I take the top option in that poll then it definitely doesn't go high enough!

My collection is maybe 1,000 books, mostly Golden Age. The rest of the books? Who knows at this point. I'm guessing about 300 long boxes, so that would be 75,000. There's an awful lot of dreck in there. I'll give a ton (literally!) of them away at the end of this year..
