Have you sold some comics and regretted it later? Or had to sell some or all of your comics for any reason?

I regret selling some of my key issues over time, but for me personally, it was having to sell off complete runs of silver age comics. Back in 2010 I got laid off, a month later, my wife lost her job as well. We had no income for a few months and didn’t have any other option but to sell about half my comics.

I had complete silver age runs of titles like Avengers, X-Men, Thor, Captain America, etc.

I had about 40 long boxes full of comics but after having to sell some, I only had about 20 left at the time. I was sick to my stomach because it took me a lifetime to accumulate that collection. But at the same time, when you’re married and have children, you do what you have to do.

I have since reacquired some key issues, but nothing close to entire runs. I now focus on buying key issues that I want and collected editions.
