I spent a good portion of the day fixing up my comic book collection. I went to Closet of Comics and bought a couple more long comic boxes. I can definitely use them. I'm going to need more bags and backings, but I'll go back in a week or two for those. I also picked up a copy of the traveler edition of Scion Vol. 1. I already have the TPB edition, but I think the comic looks better in the smaller format.
So after I got back from CoC I used up all the bags and backings I've got putting away comics. I've still got plenty left to put away. They'll have to wait. I'm writing in circles.
I still have probably 150 to 200 marvel comics to index. Everything else has been indexed. Enough about comics.

I ran out of comics. Well not really, but I ran out of new ones to read. All I have are a couple TPBs that I am working my way through and some old Spider-Man comic books. I've got another week or so till my next shipment of new comics arrives. I do have some old issues of Alter Ego that I haven't read. Maybe I'll flip through them instead.

I can't believe how much some of the comics I bought are worth. I'm not talking old comics either. I'm talking comics I bought for three dollars a piece two months ago that are now worth between ten and twenty dollars each. Or at least that what the market seems to be willing to pay for them. Unbelievable.

I need to write. Even if no one else is going to see this I need to write. I've been going a bit crazy lately. Bidding on and buying too many comics. I even started thinking about buying multiple copies of comics. That isn't the part that really bothers me. That is the amount of time I spend on eBay looking for deals. It just isn't healthy. I can resist up to a point, but then I just get the urge to buy. I need to do something to help me control it, or find someway to keep myself in check.

I got some more comic books in the mail today. Ones that I bought through eBay. There were twenty-three issues of Marvel Comics presents, almost all of which have Sam Keith cover art. I paid less than $10 for the lot. They are almost all in Near Mint, which is what they were advertised to be in. Unlike the Namor comics which were also advertised in Near Mint, they actually passed muster. According to the price guide collectively they are worth almost $100.
