Just out of curiosity, what kind of comics did you sell? I have tons from the early 90's that are probably worthless. Like X-Force #1, X-Men #1, Spiderman #1, etc. I have Spawn #1. Wolverine #50. The Infinity Gauntlet series as well. But just like hockey cards in the early 90's, they were all mass produced

I owned Phoenix Comics on 16th Ave until a few months ago, so over the years I sold all kinds of comics. For the last 15 years or so, it was just new comics though, as we got out of back issues.
Some 90s stuff has a bit of value now, but only in absolute top grade, because as you mentioned the 90s was the time of heavy mass production. Investment wise, the early 90s is pretty much the worst era unfortunately.
The stuff I sold to fund my retirement was separate from what we were selling at Phoenix. It was mostly CGCed golden age stuff with a bit of silver age as well. I bought almost all of it through the big auction houses and on eBay from 2006 to 2016 and then also sold through Comiclink earlier this year.
