Should I sell my comics?

I too have a box of 1990 era shit at my parents house. It's the only thing left there from when I was kid. Some late 80s baseball cards are in there too - lots of Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire '87 Topps rookie cards.

feels like a support group...

I have 3 long boxes of 80s shit at my parents house, same crapola (goddamn Alpha Flight, New Mutants, X-Factor) with the bonus of all the Secret Wars 1&2 and Crisis on Infinite Earth bullshit.

although hidden deep within is some gold like my Phoenix-era X-Men, Frank Miller Daredevils and the complete US Eagle Judge Dredd/2000AD reprints (need to get those, Nemesis rules).

I feel like this is a good start for another thread.

Comics in every box of comics everywhere

I guess I was kinda lucky in that the Finnish editions of Marvel superhero comics were generally running 2-5 years late compared to original American books. (Plus the Finnish publisher for Marvel often released earlier classic stories in various anthology titles.) So even though I only started reading superhero comics during the latter half of the 80s, I got to read stuff like Claremont/Smith and Claremont/Romita X-Men, Roger Stern’s Spider-Man, Miller’s and Nocenti’s Daredevil, etc. By the time the Finnish comics got to stuff by Jim Lee/Liefeld/etc, i.e. the ”dark age” of superhero comics, I’d moved on to Sandman, Corto Maltese and other "mature" stuff, and had mostly given up superheroes. I think Claremont’s last issue of X-Men was one of the last superhero comics I read, until I returned to them in the 00s. So I managed to miss the dark age and the speculation boom almost completely.

(ok, i have this as a stuck bookmark, possibly becasue of a deleted spam message. just bumping this thread to see if that makes the problem go away. pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.)
