Doesn't have to be too tatty...But they are not worth anything other than for reading...I'm wondering if to get rid of them at a charity shop...and just keep the perfect ones..will be hard to do...But from then on collect in a different way...trying to go for more better conditions..
These will be put in the boxes I'm buying..
I have a few tatty Beanos from when I was very young, but otherwise all the comics are in nice condition. (I replaced ones I threw away or cut out pin ups from years ago.)
The key is; would you really miss them if you parted with them? Personally, the only ones I would miss are the ones I have a sentimental and nostalgic attachment to. Stories that trigger happy memories of my childhood. Plus the ones I've been published in.
You may be attached to certain comics for different reasons. Save those.
The rest I could live without because I doubt I'll read them a second time, so every now and then I have a sort out and get rid. Time was when I'd save everything, but not now. No point hoarding comics you'll never look at a second time. Life's too short.
