I would never limit myself either Batfan.

What I don't understand is why wives get so annoyed about men collecting things. Like they don't have enough crap of their own.



For whatever reason they look at it as junk or kid's stuff. My friends pretty much all have girlfriends or wives like that, thankfully I am not in that position nor would I allow myself to be.

Good for you!! That's how it should be.

Nice.  I remember having a collection that size.

That was the last time I was able to find friends to help me move.

I won't even know what to do with 5000 comic books when i get there..

Thats the one thing that worries me about collecting. Space.

This is where I'm at right now, space is a huge concern esp. when you factor in moving.  I've whittled my collection down from about 20 long boxes to only 6.   As a result my per issue avg. is about $20 according to cpg.

CONGRATS ARGUS! And even more Kudos about the wife thing! How'd you pull that off!?

I'm looking foward to finally getting to 10,000 myself! (Over 8000+ and counting now!)

If I continue at this rate with comics and everything else I collect, a BIGGER house is going to be on the acquisition list. I hope that won't become a problem for you!

BUT... Way to go my collecting friend! Just don't let her talk you into getting rid of them!.

Thanks...

She already knows I won't get rid of them...luckily for me I don't collect anything else or it probably would be a big deal for her.

The only real rule she has is that they can't spread out of my home office......that's why I'm considering knocking out a wall and claiming some unused attic space on that level.

I wish you luck hitting that 10k count, Firebird.  I couldn't imagine getting there at this point.  Of course, I never expected to get to 5k either when I started a 3 years ago with the 1000 my mother sent me from when I was a teen.
