    HI Matt, 
    Could you please create a set for “Hunt for Wolverine”? Thanks for your great help. Luis 
    Hello @LG99,
    Unfortunately, Hunt for Wolverine is a one-shot comic and is not eligible for its own set.

    RIP Mr. Ditko. I’m just getting into comics and found your work soon into this journey. I cherish the works I have of yours already.

    LG99 reacted to skypinkblu in Are comics gaining more respect as a valid investment outside of the comic collecting community?   
    This is a very interesting conversation and one I've thought about from time to time when I see how the prices on some things have risen.
    When I speak to people I know outside of the comic collecting world very few of them have any idea about which comics are collectible, let alone do they think of buying any for investment. These are well educated people for the most part. Every once and a while, someone has a friend or relative with a 90's comic collection they are curious about.
    I love comics, but there is no way to compare them to fine art. Art has its ups and downs, but the pieces that are sought after are one of a kind.  Comics (unless you are talking about OA) are not. Even limited edition signed lithographs, are usually limited to no more than 300 pieces which is miniscule next to  comic production numbers.
    Think about this, how many comic museums are there around the world? I know I've been to two and I've heard about another. One was in Rye NY and I think it moved to somewhere in Fl. It was cute, but very small. One is in Baltimore (the one I have not been to) and I went to the one in Belgium, which was little more than a store. I'm sure there are one or two others I've missed.
    Art museums are all over the world.
    Comics are much more easily affordable as a collectible than Fine Art, so that makes comic collecting an easier hobby for most of us, but you are in  different worlds.
    I collect comics because I love them, they were part of my childhood and there are many I can buy without depriving myself of other things. However, if I had a ton of money and wanted to park it somewhere, I'd buy land or houses that I could rent out. Not that anything is a sure thing.
    One thing we should think about with the more modern books (like Hulk 181) is that a lot of younger people are into comics in digital form.  Some of those younger people are even trying to convert their parents;) 
    If anyone ever told me that I'd give up my stacks of (reading)  books for a Kindle, I would have thought they were crazy...but here I am 7 years later, with this one thin space saving, dust saving piece of electronics I'm totally dependent on. When I need a new book to read, I go online to the library, download it and voila! I don't ever have to carry 4 or 5 paperbacks with me on a trip again. I've long since gone from 8 bookcases to two, and those hold comic Archives.
    So as many people have said before, buy comics because you love them. If you happen to sell them and make money, that's a plus, but don't be shocked if something changes and you don't.
