I'll have to check site out. Here's the site I go to most frequently: http://www.comicspriceguide.com/

I think you can show off your collection there as well.

I'm not a very strict collector. I buy mainly comic books I'd read from when I was younger (ones from late 80s to mid 90s) so they don't cost much. Much of my collection consists of comics from The Punisher, Batman: Legend of The Dark Knight, Nick Fury: Agent of Shield, Rock n Roll Comics, Star Trek, G.I. Joe, and a bunch of random others.

I used to dig underground comics like Zap, Mickey Rat & The Couch Potatoes. None of the 'normal' stuff, though.

I like reading comics, but none of that super hero nonsense.

I used to have about 3000, but I got rid of most of them. most of what I have are old Xmen and a few from the sixties - Strange Tales - the ones Jim Steranko did.

I read the Buffy The Vampire Slayer series 8 comics, but other than that I've never been into them.

Cool I'm glad to see I'm not the only comic book geek here I've got nothing on a friend of mine who has a storage room full of the long white boxes. I've got three at best. I have a brief run from the early 90s of the Fan 4 but never got that hardcore into it, and I get kinda obsessive, gotta get them all. I've got a nice little collection of Manga also, FLCL, BOx7, Eureka seven...

I used to collect about 20 years ago. I sold a few in college for gas, beer and cig money. I still have 20 or so. mostly stuff I thought would be collectable (Punisher Limted series #1, etc). If I had the inclination, I'd take the box down to the local shop and sell it all for a tank of gas, but I'd have to find them first (probably in the garage).

my girl friend's a big Buffy fan, so I buy them for her, oh yeah, I make sure i read them first.
Now I'll start getting her the Angel, After the Fall series. Of course, I'll read them before I give them to her.

I still have a box of comics from the 60's and 70's. Not in great shape, but if cleaned up could and should sell them.
