You know, some times I just do not think. I picked up 100 A4 document pockets this morning thinking that would see all my A4 Small Press comics/mags taken care of. I'll actually need about another 200!!
When it comes to the A5 (Digest) sized books...I think I'll need about 300 pockets. Having found out that my shelf by the door still has Browner Knowles, Anon, Zelta, Willie Hewes,Vanessa Wells and Jess Bradley-Bove books....oh.
I'll have 1000+ or so Small Press books which does not include my foreign language zines or the few late 1960s-1970s fanzines I have which are, literally, worth a hell of a lot!
Based on the lowest cover prices, condition of some -anyone remember the 1980s Captain Scotland comic/RPG?- the collection, and for some reason it is not a collectors market (yet), is worth around £3000. But that is as a whole and I'm not intending to sell off one or two here and there just yet!
Once I've finished The Green Skies I have a number of things I want to do and one will be to price the zines individually -maybe produce a basic price guide and one that is not by someone who wants to artificially inflate prices to make money from selling a collection is probably overdue!
Hey, I even have Finland's Pekka A. Manninen's first A4 Small Press comic from 1981 -Milanon Ihne!
I can see that relaxed Hollywood life style just over the council cess-pit!
