Collected all 300 issues of Amazing Spider-Man but now I'm burned out
So I spent the last 8 months tracking down every issue from 1 to 300. Thought it would be the ultimate flex for my shelf. But now I just stare at them and feel nothing, like I completed a chore instead of enjoying the journey. Anyone else get this weird emptiness after finishing a big run or am I just doing fandom wrong?

Oh totally, the dopamine is all in the hunt not the catch.

Read somewhere that Marathon runners get this too (like, the post race blues) where all the training and buildup just kind of goes pfft. Maybe collecting is the same way, it's more about the chase than the finish line.
