Thinning the collection

I cut back on incentives quite a bit. I hoped to keep a few and flip a few, but I got most of them from TFAW, and by the time they showed up, the heat was off many of them. Now, I just found a local option for incentives at a great price, so I might be ramping that back up a little. TBD.

Anyone else here a compete and utter lunatic when it comes to organizing the collection? It definitely scratches some obsessive itch for me.

Things like insane excel docs, neatly organized short boxes, labels on books designating incentives and exclusives? If so, share your ideas. I’m always looking for the next way to refine the collection.

As someone who would sell when the related movie comes out, I group my comics by character / team for easy access when selling. Just sold both of my Eternals #3 copies at a loss.

Have you consider you might have an addiction problem? Nice collection though, wish I had the space to let mine grow that large.

How long have you been collecting if you don’t mind me asking?
That’s incredible!

Been collecting since i was a kid, so 1995-ish. But got serious from the 2010’s until now.

Have comics from the 70s, 80s, 90s etc, but most are modern era.

Just move them into @Anthony 's basement… we got space, I need more privacy walls and need to make a new wall to block this pesky stinky draft that comes from the rest of the household upstairs! :wink:

When I moved we hired movers to pack and move everything. I rented my own Uhaul to move my comics.

I am embarrassed to show off how messy my comic room is because we put the rest of the house together but I have not spent the time doing my office very well.

I think I’m now down to about 10 short boxes total with comics. I once reached the 40-50 long box total at one time but been really thinning the collection since COVID days.

I’m always building up and unloading stuff for space. I honestly don’t have much inventory laying around or a lot of personal collection space besides a small number of treasured books.
