Treasure

 

I bought a couple dozen plastic tubs to store and organize all my action figures in as I go through the process this summer of fully documenting all the stuff I really have in my collection. I have 12,000 comics books and graphic novels as well to pour through but those are already in tubs and plastic bags.

 

I would like to get some toy collecting software that would make it easy for me to record all the lose and mint in box figures that I have. It would be great to have a record in one easy place. I might even be able to estimate the value of my collection but that has never been my motivation for collecting. I am not much for selling off a toy once I have it. I would rather give my doubles away to friends and fellow collectors.

 

I was going through a box today and I found this issue of The Amazing Spider Man #24. It was given to me by my University roomie because this was the exact issue that was on the stands the month I was born in 1965. It's a well loved copy and maybe a 4.0 if it was graded but that is not important to me. It's the oldest comic book I have in my collection and was a gift from someone who knew how much I would enjoy it. That makes it priceless to me. Examples like this in my life I could count on one hand.
