I just hit 500 single issues in my collection and it feels kinda wild

I was sorting through my long boxes in the garage last week and decided to count them all for the first time. I was honestly shocked when the total came to 512, mostly because I started with just a few Spider-Man books from the drugstore as a kid. It's not even about the value, it's more that I never thought I'd have a full short box dedicated to just Daredevil runs. Has anyone else had a moment where the size of their collection just hit them out of nowhere?

Honestly used to think big collections were just clutter. Seeing a full short box of one character really makes you get it though, doesn't it? It's the story of your own history with the hobby sitting right there.

Ever see a whole shelf of your favorite character and just feel that connection?

Tbh @oliver_anderson that's exactly it. Pulling out a longbox and seeing a whole run of your guy just hits different. It's like flipping through your own history with the character, not just some random issues. Ngl I've spent way too long just sitting there looking at them. Kim's right, it's way more than clutter.
