cellio inquired, and I got curious, I decided to take stock as I was moving comics over to the new storage unit (mostly but not entirely done).
I have 45 boxes of post-1990 comics in storage, plus 36 boxes of pre-1990 comics in the attic, making a total of 81 longboxes. Figuring an average of around 300 comics per box (a number that I read somewhere, sometime, as the usual average; I don't know if it's accurate), that makes a bit shy of 25 thousand comics. That sounds about right.
That's just standard-sized comics. I also have a dozen or so half-boxes of magazines, which probably adds another thousand or two, but the normal comics make up the bulk of the collection...
