I am currently sitting at 45 long boxes stuffed. I am currently updating my inventory with grades and everything. I should have an exact count soon.

"You want me to trade you my comic for small rectangular sheets of green paper with the images of dead white men?"

Are you a private collector or a store? I do not sell, I am strictly a collector.

According to my CCL Software:

-Individual Issues - 4,214
-Graphic Novels/Trade Paperbacks - 23
-Hardcovers - 9

All bagged and boarded and in long-boxes.

They're mostly Marvel, DC, early-to-mid 90s Image, and Star Trek comics dating from the mid-70s to current.

I'd include my comic cards in that count, but I really have no idea how many I have since CCL's software isn't nearly as complete on the trading cards as they are on the comics.

And I'm a collector, not a shop owner or online dealer.

I'm currently sitting on approximately 20 long boxes, 4 half boxes and +/- 100 books waiting to be filed. So at a guess I'd say just over 5K books.

Thats a lot!

I have about 7-ish long boxes.

I have complete Defenders-1971 (incl annual, Marvel feature and Giant-sizes) which is not in a long box, but a different box, to accamodate some graded slabs.
Similar thing for my complete Silver Surfer(1987 series).

And then I have a little nest egg of maybe 50-75 comics set aside in another box for my daughter when she is old enough &/or interested, else they'll likely go to a nephew.

A few months back my collection was doubly as large, but I parted with 1/2 my collection.
