Lets try not to go off topic here now..... 😖hifty:

Well i was originally gonna keep them "forever" maybe even sell them off when age is taken into account for thier price.

But now I'll probably just bin them facepalm2

Most of the comics I own are at least 20 years old.Some 30 or 40. By the time i'm 40 i'm sure they will all be worth a lot.

Yeah my oldest i think is around 20-30 years old. My comic stash is at my mother's house in a store room. But I havnt got passion for comics anymore, i guess for me it was something to do, something to escape into. I didnt know that i would personally read anything; I read alot of books now (historic mostly) so i guess it was a thirst for reading that spawned my comic days. True or not i still have a stash of comics that i occasionally read that i dont really seeing myself keeping

(yes i know i dont capitalise my "I"😉

Assuming I have any, give them to my kids.

edit: it made no sense what i just wrote

I imagine that if the world ends, my comic collection will eventually be used as the blueprints to begin manufacturing them again. Think 'The Book of Eli', without the religious overtones.

But that would also require my external hard drive, a computer, and electricity surviving... Which is unlikely. I'll cross my fingers anyway, though. leftright

Yeah I could scan all my comics into my hard drive, actually no that would end up being a chore.

So Galan are all your comics digitally based?

I have a few bins of physical comics at my house, but yeah, the HUGE percentage of my comics are digital. I think I have around 600GB worth, or some shiz.

Did you buy them that way or did you "scan" them?

I bought the physical copies, of course. Downloaded everything else.

600GB?!?!? Thats a helluva lot of space. Isn't that like over a quarter of your space even for the most high tech computer?

I'll just end up on comic book hoarders or something in 60 years.

I honestly don't see much in terms of any significant appreciation in value (sorry Spawn #1 the first comics I bought with my own money) unless print medium get completely toppled by digital distribution (which I honestly don't see happening any time soon). If you want to collect something that will sky rocket in value buy toys and whatever the newest fad trading card game is (pokemon, yugioho... whatever), anything kids like now. Why? Because kids can't take care of anything. 99% of the product gets destroyed and 20-30 years from now those kids are all nostalgic for the same crap that has all but disappeared from the annals of time. That is what my dad did and he made out like a bandit when he sold his collection.

Downloading is legal in Canada, but I try to only dl comics I already own for a scan... because whoever scans them does a much better job than I would. Merging two panel spreads, editing out folds, colour correction... I wouldn't do that shit, but it is nice to have a clear scan. Plus it is easier to organize digital comics.
