Can we talk about hitting issue #300 in my longbox? That felt huge

I finally cracked 300 single issues in my collection last weekend after sorting through a stack I picked up at a flea market in Portland. It surprised me because I never aimed for a number, I just kept picking up interesting runs like that old Animal Man series from the 90s. Finding that many books that tell a bigger story over time really made me appreciate how deep comics can go. Anyone else have a milestone in their collection that just felt bigger than you expected?

What really hit me about hitting 300 was realizing that number represents actual stories not just issues, you know? Like each one of those books has its own little world with characters that had to grow and change over time. It shifted my whole view from just collecting to seeing those stacks as narrative weight, which is way more meaningful than any price guide number.
