as far as growth, you answered your own question with your 2 points...as far as opportunity, now is a great time to pick up these books because prices are realistic , with no real reason for them to jump start increases (bad for investment, but great for the collector in you!)
Sounds good. I'm just a collector. (I'm too dumb to be an investor!)
when I sell a new comic in my stores, I am selling 'entertainment"...in other words, it is disposable income spent, same as a movie, or ball game or concert...
however, when one spends , say $50 or more on a comic, you have to look at the "ROI" as far as the tangile (value) and the intangible (enjoyment/entertainment) aspect... so, anytime one spends high 2 figures, or 3 or 4 or 5+ figures for a comic, there is a tangible "investment" component...
