I'm going to hop on the "sell them" bandwagon, Jilli. You might keep them, but you'll either rarely (if ever) get the joy of reading them again, or you'll destroy any resale/investment value they might have. Their value might go up over time (actually, they almost certainly will), but unless you want to wait several decades to sell them, they probably won't be rising dramatically in value suddenly or soon.

There's certainly a case to be made for keeping them, but money is better than comics.

Most of the time.

If money is better than comics, why do I keep giving it away to get more of the damned things?

Right now, having lapsed in purchasing, I'm looking irritatedly at much of my current collection. I know a fair bit of it (X titles, I'm looking at you) will never be read again. But here it is, taking up space. I did quite want to read it the once--but that's all. It's no more a waste of money to buy and toss a comic than it is to buy and never touch it again, but there's no way I could countenance the former.

Do I not resume buying all those titles? But I want to digest the narratives!

It's annoying me. Thankfully I have nowhere to put long boxes. I think.

Sell 'em, Jilli. They can buy you more *new* comics. And if you have it all in other formats anyway...

If it weren't a series you were crazy about I'd agree with the above posters, but to me the corresponding Sandman issues have sentimental value and I don't want to part with them. Those very comics, physically, are the ones I was holding when Neil Gaiman pulled me into that world.

An aquaintance of mine who worked at a comics store years ago asked me if I was in the market to sell my original issues, and I just walked away laughing.

Because I'm not going to look at that until I'm not at work, all I can say is speculation: it's GOT to be 90% Wonder Woman! The chick was *always* getting tied up!
