Great responses from everyone.  I am now in the process of  going through my collection and am currently focusing on preserving just the runs that I really love or have a strong sense of nostalgia with.  There are so many great collected editions available that really I feel no need to follow current series except for Ultimate Spiderman, All-Star Western, Animal Man, Flash and Swamp Thing.  The other series I have huge runs on, I decided to start purchasing only in hardcover such as the new Daredevil and Captain America.   I really want to spend my time reading what I love, not what the comic media says I should buy.  It's a process but one well worth beginning.  Best of luck and good reading.
