What’s the most precious manga that you own and what’s a manga that you’re never going to sell?
Which manga is really high on your to buy list rn?
Is there a manga that is oop that you really want?
Do you guys sometimes sell manga that you don’t want to collect anymore? Even when you haven’t read it yet? Or do you still keep the manga, even when you know you’re never going to read it (again) just for collecting purposes?

I couldn't possibly narrow the list down to a single title. There are probably a dozen or more titles that fit this criteria

Anything in the current solicitations that looks interesting.

No. When I started collecting I made a point of picking up anything in the back issue bin that looked interesting.

Not currently. There is no market for used manga locally and I'm not interested in selling on line.

I just put on trash the bad mangas (Video Girl AI, Slam Dunk, Rurouni Kenshin, Death Note) or leave them in public benches for others to pick (Card Captor Sakura, Saint Seiya).

None.
I mean, the first mangas that I bought was in the year 2000. Two decades later, not only my tastes changed, but I changed two.
I really liked Rurouni Kenshin back then, but before 2010 I took the whole series in the trash.
