(I've got some Marvel motion comics of roughly the same era as well.)

Before I sold my about 2/3 of my collection off I would say a rough estimate would have been about 10,000 single issues and over 5,000 runs of various titles.
Now I would put that around 4,000 single issues and 1,000 full runs.
That is not counting graphic novels, TPBs, HCs, and prestige format books and series.

I'm at around 3500 comics at the moment, but that is after some serious paring down myself. At my peak I was pushing 12,000 books, but I sold quite a few. Over the past year or so I have given away around 6000 books to my wife's cousin and guys at work. Just seems like too much trouble to sell them, seeing as nothing I had was that rare or expensive.
Here are some of the runs that I have:
Flash (1987 series) #1 through 230 and all annuals
Action Comics #800 through 900
Silver Surfer (1987 Series) 1 through 146 and all annuals
Swamp Thing (1985 Series) #80 through 171
Animal Man #1 through 89
Flaming Carrot Comics #1 through 31
Dazzler #1 through 42
Quasar #1 though 60
and (cue Draco...) every Youngblood comic ever published.

Runs that I have?
All of CGW/DHH minus Ghost v.2 # 18.
All of Green Lantern, v.3 (1989-2004) and v.4(2004-present).
I used to have all of Defiant, Broadway, about 1/3rd of CrossGen, all of Valiant and Acclaim and all of the DC/Marvel/Malibu Star Trek family of books.
At other times, I've owned complete (through about 1999) runs of Star Wars (DH edition) books, Aliens, Predator, Terminator, Robocop, Thing From Another World (surprisingly good) and Indiana Jones(also surprisingly good).

Did you own a copy of Miracle on Broadway as well ? As far as I know/knew(?) there were maybe 3-4 of us (or less ?) that owned one.xodacia81 wrote:Runs that I have?

I probably have a Ghost v2 #18, I can look see if you still need it.

That would be superb, about Ghost. It's also # 17, not 18. I just checked. As for MOB...um...I sort of had one. Long story.Knightt wrote:Did you own a copy of Miracle on Broadway as well ?

'sort of had one'... do tell. I don't know the story and it already sounds painful.

Oh man this killed me... I have a gap in issues 10-17 and I probably have dupes of 18. I have the later issues. You mentioned that there are issues with low print runs... Which ones ?xodacia81 wrote:That would be superb, about Ghost. It's also # 17, not 18. I just checked. As for MOB...um...I sort of had one.

Oh yes. Had to add that I have all of the issues of Green Arrow, going back to the early 80's 4 issue miniseries and continuing through to the present day. GA/BC really is a waste of an opportunity as it is essentially 2 overblown stories tied together and then capped off with a tie-in to Cry for Justice.
