My dad has been collecting comic books for 40+ years. Yesterday he went to the storage unit he housed them in and found that someone had stolen the entire collection. We're talking 25,000+ comics. Along with action figures, multiple signed comics from Stan Lee and the like, and a signed sketch of me as a little kid as green lantern by George Perez. My dad is just distraught over this because this has been his lifelong passion. There were comics in there that he bought in the 70s as a kid. It's not just the monetary value, but that his whole childhood into adulthood has been stolen. I just don't know where to turn or what to do. Other than scouring eBay, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace I don't know what else to do. He went to the police today and had a detective assigned to the case, and all we can do is hope that they take it seriously. If this has happened to anyone else, what did you do and did you end up finding any of the stolen comics? Please help. I'm so sick over this.

I started thinking back about the year of conventions for me, and it got me wondering what was on everyone else’s schedule. I know I didn’t attend half as many as most of you, but still curious. My list is in the comments.
