Holy heck! Those are a lot of comic books!  :o  I'm very envious... I can't even afford a single issue of The X-Men.

I'm most proud of the fact that I've read every comic you see in those pictures too!

I'm more impressed that you have got them all in nice packaging. I get so annoyed when I order a comic from ebay and it say new an it come with no sleeve. ooooo i do get angry when that happens.

LOL   I have to get mine organized first!

Seriously though; that's an impressive collection (the comics AND the collectibles)! 

Whenever I reorganize my books, my biggest challenge is deciding on how to sort them--

By company, then alphabetically by title? 

Alphabetically, regardless of publishing company?   

Grouped by subject or genre? 

Which way do you plan to sort yours?

I just sort them by title - alphabetically.

I collect number 1's, as soon as a comic comes out i tend to buy it, not for any financial reason its just something I like doing. Trouble is once I have read it and if i enjoyed it i keep buying that line. Thats what happened with the new Supergirl comics, Batman, Legend, Spiderman (McFarlane series). Suddenly its like woah there are a lot.

I know what you mean.  There are certain comics I've read for a long, long time (Spidey, X-Men,...) and others kind of come and go.  Lately I've been trying to cut back some but there is a lot of great stuff coming out these days.  It seems when I drop a book off my buying list a new one takes it's place!
