and over protective of them?

I'm not, technically, a comic collector--I purchase probably five comics a=20

my own--but, having spent two and a half years as a fiancee of a comic=20
collector and another (almost) two years (so far) as the wife of a comic=20
collector, I'd like to weigh in on this etiquette question
