When I buy something cool. I always take it out of the box. I don't keep my comics in bags. I have them on a stack on my bookshelf gathering dust. What I'm trying to say is that I don't have my old s**t because of $ worth. I have it because I like it.
Do you keep stuff in the box, or comics in plastic bags?
I can understand if it's ACTION COMICS #1...but I have, of all things, an issue of FAMOUS MONSTERS with DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN on the cover. It's in bad shape too. That's in plastic.It's just special to me for personal reasons, which I can't explain, because if I could you know I would be typing some stupid bulls**t about why I love that movie. I have lots of rare monster mags and comic books- and that ones in plastic. The rest are stacked on bookshelves. Not in plastic at all. My room smells like old books.
It depends. I bought a cool Japanese Takara YOU doll at a toy show, it's still in its box, but only one bit of tape sealed it so I opened it. I later found other examples of these dolls and sold them at profit. I still have that one; they were only issued in Japan. Meanwhile, I have some kind of Robin figure, unopened, in the shipping carton; probably also Asian market. I've never even seen the box! I was a toy collector, so if I was lucky enough to have a box, they were appreciated! I had a lot of cool CRAP! Most of it's gone now.
You were a seller. I don't sell anything. I might give it away- but I don't sell it.
I dunno. :question:
I still sell; now, it's the only way I generate cash. :thumbup: :teddyr:
All of my comics are in bags and have backing boards to keep them flat. Most of them came that way from eBay, online stores or comic book stores. I bought bags and boards for the ones that didn't come with them.
I don't have too much stuff on my place, and what I do have, I use it. While I understand taking care of valuable things, something that I of course do, I never saw the point in keeping stuff in bags just to look at them from afar. :question:
Just like us, those things will be dust one day too, so we may as well enjoy them while they last.
