Are you REALLY a collector of comics?

When I take someone down to the basement and show them my "collection" they are amazed at the number of books I have.   Old comics, new comics, comics with fancy covers and comics with no covers at all - they are all good.  But, I wonder....am I really a collector or would a better term be an accumulator?

I can't help it.  Something draws me to the comics.   Whereever I am, I have a tendancy of finding the comics.  Whether its in the grocery store or a flee market at the local fourth of July celebration, I find the comics.

Sometimes I will buy long boxes off of eBay for no reason at all - I have some extra money at the time so it seemed like the right thing to do.  After all, why pay a bill now when there are comics for sale at a good price?
