So what comics do you own?

This question comes up when talking to people about either collecting or the buying the selling of books. It is not an easy question to answer for some of us. I was a serious collector as a boy and I aggressively hunted silver age back issues of Avengers and FF, in addition to getting my monthly stack of books that were just printed (in the 1980s). Since I was a voracious reader of comics, I also ended up with an eclectic mix of titles. A bunch of well know titles, but also others; such as one offs, or random non-marvel, non-dc books. Since a fair portion of the collectors in the current comic space are 40 somethings who still have that “so what comics you got in your collection?” comparison mind set, I figured I would just show my list. I catalogued them in 2018, however, I have also discovered in the years since that I missed some here and there, and I did not write down if I had duplicates. Anyway, here is the (not totally) complete list:
