This is a question My Collection

Do you have display cabinets full of stuff? With it all neatly labelled, cross-referenced and entered into a database. Have you been to a convention? Do other collectors look up to you in awe?

I thought I was above this one. I'm not that autistically geeky that I have a Collection with a capital C. But no, I remembered I'm hoarding away every version of "Inside Macintosh" ever published.

What do you collect? And why? I mean, what makes you do it?

When I was younger, I collected editions of The Beano
I have every issue between 1990 and 2003. It's a rather impressive collection.

The problem is, I stopped reading the comic in 1999. I would have been twelve/thirteen at the time, and I felt that the comic was a little too immature for me. Still, I continued having the comic delivered to my house, thinking the collection would be worth something one day.

One week, in 2003, the comic didn't arrive. "No bother" I thought, "I'll just pick it up next time I'm in a Newsagent". Later that week, I did find myself in a newsagent. Sadly, this was a stop on the way to a school trip to France. Being a sixteen year old kid purchasing a comic intended for kids got me quite a lot of flak for the rest of the three-day journey.

I never did collect The Beano again.
