Well what can I say? I am so new it is pathetic.
I am 40 years old and so new at collecting comics my embilical cord is not even cut yet. I don't even know what a collector looks for on the cover of a book to indicate it has potential future value.
There are so many comic publishers out there it is confusing as to understand which hold a better value. Or if a collector was looking for potential monetary gain which publisher typically is the favored company.
Right now, I collect random titles and companies. If I see a comic book I like, I get it. I dont read it, I place it in a sleeve and keep it. So for now, collecting is just for the enjoyment of the art work on the cover and I dont even have complete series. I have been buying the number one books of issues if I come across it. Never know when that one collector needs the number 1 book for his collection.
