The same holds true for my comic collection. Unless it's a silver age or key appearance, they're worthless. Now I read them, bag them, box them and will eventually sell them off to a comic shop for pennies on the dollar.
I'm the same type of collector.. I have no room to be storing boxes and trying to keep them in perfect shape. Just like everything things come and go. First it was Baseball Cards, Football cards, Basketball cards etc.. in the late 80's to early 90's. Then it became comics and all the fancy covers like foil covers and bubble covers then that died out then it was collectibles and even that seems to becoming to a close with the kids palying more video games and not caring about toys anymore.
