i think coin dealers are moving into the comic market ,,, that is what first moved baseball cards big time back in the 80's
coins are really stagnant right now, key collectors coins are about the same price today that they were 5/10 years ago while comics have soared..
i know i'm thinking of getting back into coins especially when what i consider an ultra common book ASM 252 can now be traded for a decent 1914 D Lincoln cent
and a nice ASM 238 is now worth almost as much as a 1909-SVDB cent ,, the holy grail of Lincoln cents
