I have about 15,000 comic books and another 300+ trades, graphic novels, and hardbacks. They're not exactly useless, given that they do have a use--they can be read for pleasure--but I have some that I've either never read or read once and have no intention of ever reading again. I'm a completist, meaning that I want to have every issue of a run, even those that I don't want to read. For example, I have a full run of Fantastic Four from #105 to the current issue. Fantastic Four is currently heavily tied into a big crossover that I'm not reading, so there will be six issues in a row that I'm going to ignore, but I'm still getting them so that I don't end up with a hole in my run. I also never read the early issues--they stay stored safely, and I read the reprints instead, but by golly, I have a full run of Fantastic Four.
