Depends what's in it. Quantity isn't always quality so someone can have several thousand comics from the 1990s worth a dime each. Mine includes original, older copies of key books (Spidey, X-Men, Superman, Batman etc) in high-grade or better than average grade (for books from the 40s) so those can climb as high as $2k each. So an estimated value is upwards of $120k. That's why I'm not sent to the looney bin cuz people have seen me sell a single book for $50 or more  |

A couple of well ventilated rooms with specially made cabinets and drawers for the more collectible ones. 3 drawers neatly stacked atop each other in such a cabinet can each store up to 350 books (packed vertically), so that's 1000+ books in 4 square feet of floor space...that takes care of most comics from 1980 up. |

| Sold off some duplicate books that I bought when I spotted a good deal (like hugely underpriced) and made enough to get my daughter a 49' tv for her bedroom.
Invest in some classic 1960s (ie silver-age) Spider-Man in high grade...they NEVER drop in price. I still have about 230+ spares. Plus a 98% complete collection of the first 252 books in the series. |

| Action Comics #1000 is just around the corner. A milestone.
If you find a copy of #1 in great shape, you're set for life.
