My Hubby Collect Traded Paperback Comics Books, How much is too much?

Tweet

Hi... I want to share you some story about my husband that I learned when we are already living in one roof. It fascinates me... He has novelty items of good and quality stuff. He said most of the items he collected are rare since most dates back in 80's and 90's era. When I open the pages, to my surprise, these comic books are Superhero comic books and it seems that he loves these. He said he does not collect for a particular line or collection of superhero, if he believes that it is good... He acquires it. And he said to me his collections are brand new and he acquires it as first owner. Wow.. truly amazing to learn that the collection really are amazing work of art and has stories that for me... its really crafted well and addictive. And I learn something that these comic books does not only appeal for kids.. it is more likely for young and adults. As I see his collection, oh... yes i believe those are worth collecting since the story lines are too great... Imagine there was a time that Superman Died and Resurrect? Theres a Hi-Tech Batman? And there are parallel worlds in concept of these comics... And a lot more, and I do believe its more concentrated on DC and Marvel character. The stories are appeal, wow talk about creativity... He said he was touched by these stories and ideology and sometimes he was molded by these collections he has... After sometime, I, as a non collector, thought that with those piles of collection he has, it is just enough... Every now and then he check out bookstore and book ordering and will save some money to get something he want. It surprises me because I thought that the collection thing ends with his moving to a different role... being a husband and a father.But again, he did not stop. He said he wants to share most of these to our kids and these after time and time as passed will give a much higher value and might worth more than double of the items... I dont know this things, it maybe valuable but I think he will not let go any of those collection even triple the price... I do not know what to say about this. Will I just let him continue what he started since his teens days? The collection he has is still piling up until now though there are times that he regret that he can not have some more rare item due to money issue. Now, can you share a little of your feeling about this? I think those items really has sentimental values to him... How will I compromise about our family budget and his hobby? How much is too much already? Just asking... maybe there are other collectors out there or partners of collectors that can share their views or anyone who wants to give some of their thoughts about this... Thanks for dropping by...
