I've got two huge trunks full of comics that date back to the 60s through to the early 90s. I was really into Marvel & DC years ago and my dad used to take me into Manchester city centre to the Arndale (the shopping precinct the IRA bombed - we luckily went the day before!) to the comic stores. I've got tons of old Hulk and Spiderman annuals, every issue of Ghost Rider, every 80s issue of Amazing Spiderman and every 80s issue of Batman. I've also got tons of 30th anniversary foil editions of stuff like Warlock, The Avengers and Silver Surfer. I had started compiling a list and trying to price them all but I kind of gave up.  :lookingup:

I still have over 2000 comics from my old collecting days. Sadly most of 'em ain't really worth too much as most modern era comics (80s-now) are readily available and far from rare. My favourites and most cherished actually tend to be reprints of old comics (such as my EC Horror and Sci-Fi comics, my original Ghost Rider reprints, Marvel Milestones, etc.) along with stuff I generally found for 50 cents in a bookstore bin (Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis scripted Justice League comics, Legion of Super-Heroes, etc.) and stuff like The X-Files comics, The Simpsons comics, etc.. I did buy an awful lot of Batman, Superman, Flash and Green Lantern comics. I was even buying Wonder Woman at one point (guess I'm a big Justice League fan deep down) along with the ever-popular X-Men titles (which became so convoluted with titles it's largely the reason I gave up reading comics). Also used to collect Sandman (Gaiman) and Hellblazer from DC's Vertigo line.
