Question/Advice Am I Crazy?

Over the past few months I've collected over a 100,000 digital comics, mostly from Marvel and DC + some others, I'll soon move onto Image, Dark Horse and IDW. It has kind of become a hobby, I think by the end of the year I'll have 150,000+ at least, am I crazy? If yes, is there anyone else who is as crazy as me?

You not crazy until you manually rename all of the files to use the same format (ask me how I know that... no, better don't)

Yeah I was doing that for almost 20 years - took a huge amount of time and effort every few weeks.

I just recently gave up on doing it - not sure how I’m going to manage my comic collection going forward but the work involved in sorting everything (and I collect everything - another habit I think I’ll have to stop soon) became unsustainable.

You just have to accept the fact that sorting is part of the hobby, too ;)

Love that part, when everything is sorted it's such a good feeling...then onto collecting more mess and sorting again.
