Yesterday Hawk sold most of her comicbook collection. For years it has been occuping a few dozen long boxes in our "Hobbit Hole" behind the garage. We don't have an exact before picture of the collection, but here's a photo from when were were doing some cleaning in the Hobbit Hole a few years ago:

Cleaning up in the crawl space. Nov 2019.

The longboxes were piled 3 high (and I think 9 across) on the left side in the picture.

Hawk sold just over 6,000 issues. They filled 23 longboxes.

Hawk sold a lot of her comic collection (Jul 2024)

A dealer came to buy them on Monday.

And here's the money shot:

6,000 comics became a stack of Benjamins (Jul 2024)

Hawk now has a stack of Benjamins instead of a wall of boxes in the Hobbit Hole. ...Well, she still has a small wall of boxes. She kept about 1,200 issues of her collection. They fill 9 shortboxes.
