Hit issue 100 in my collection and it surprised me more than I expected

I've been collecting comics for about two years, mostly random stuff I find at garage sales. Last weekend I decided to actually count everything and found out I have 103 issues. That number hit me because I never thought I'd own that many. It matters because it made me realize I'm actually a real collector now, not just someone picking up a few books here and there. What number made you feel like a real collector for the first time?

Hundred even surprised me when I hit it with my record collection back in the '80s, but then I realized half of them were scratched up copies of "Hooked on Classics.

Gotta say though, 'Hooked on Classics' actually came out in 1981. So if you were hitting a hundred records in the '80s, that would've been a newer release, not something from earlier. I mean, maybe you just got a bunch of them secondhand super fast, but the math feels a bit off. Still, the image of a stack of scratched up classical medley records is pretty funny. Can't imagine that record store owner was too thrilled when you brought those in.
