Not new to collecting, but a quick question....I just purchased 16 long boxes, and 90% of the collection are newsstand issues. The value for them compared to Direct issues are a bit more, maybe $2.00 or less, but that`s about it. I plan on filtering out what I need/want and figured I`d sell the rest. Do any of you see a reason for me to hold onto them? I noticed for awhile now the newsstand issues are picking up. Titles include, Batman, Flash, Iron Man, Uncanny X-Men, Capt. America, GI Joe, mainly recognizable characters with a couple boxes of assorted titles. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Careful newstand can be canadien price variant or have a marx jewell centerfold in them better check one by one!

My introduction to comics was at 3 years old when my oldest brother gave me a copy of X-men #87 and although I couldn’t read yet, the pictures fascinated me and my lifelong journey into artwork began. He would continue to feed what was a voracious appetite by giving me a new comic every few days or so and encouraging me to keep drawing well into my adulthood. That love for the medium has stayed with me now going into my 51st birthday with no signs of stopping anytime soon. I’m still finding new examples of artwork in comics that wow me every day both old and new that will keep me interested and continually seeking them out for years to come, picking up influences here and there that will help my own artwork evolve for years to come.

Here’s something I’ve probably posted in the “personal artwork” thread before but still learning and hopefully improving too

This is your drawing??if so wow !!!

Im eager to hear your story!!

Everyone had a différant view opinion on comics but the moment that sealed our fate with comics is probably worth telling right?its always fun to hear it and im curious to know yours !

People like what they like. You should collect what you like.

I was a copper kid (but not Copper Age Kid...that's an important distinction!) so my nostalgia is largely tied to the 80's and 90's. But I love Silver and Bronze keys because those were the books that I aspired to own as a kid. Those were "old", and "old" was cool. Of course, let's not consider the fact that there's a lot more time between the Copper Age and present day than there was between the Silver and Copper age. Ugh. I'm old. Today, they're that much older, and I love them not because they're great reads (they're usually not), but because of the historical value, the cover art, etc. I don't need to read Avengers 4 to love the book. Heck, Hulk 1-6 are TERRIBLE reads (sorry, fans!), but I LOVE those books, because who wouldn't love those ancient, weird Marvels with the awesome covers, there in the early days of the Marvel Universe? I've never owned a Hulk 1, but I've owned multiples of 2-6, and even though I hope i never have to read them again, I still LOVE those books. Silver Age DC's are legendarily corny, but I still love 'em. One reading will suffice for a lifetime, but owning the books and enjoying their place in comics history, that never goes away, for me.

The truth is, if you're looking for comic writing that stands up to the test of time...there isn't much to be found. Most Gold, Silver, Bronze, and yeah, even copper, books are fairly cheesy by current standards. And then 90's, ugh. Somehow even worse! But there are always exceptions. As a reader, I find most Golden Age hero books to be a real chore to get through. However, I do legitimately love Jack Cole's Plastic Man, Eisner's Spirit, and a few others. And most of the horror books are still a joy to read. And EC? Man, EC's are still dynamite!

Of course, today, it doesn't matter much what I think about the content. Grails are generally far beyond my grasp, and hell, bronze and copper keys are fast approaching that threshold as well. 

And as stan lee  would write  nuff said my friend because you said it all

There have been several discussions on this board through the years about the idea of partial ownership (shares) of expensive comics that are unaffordable for most collectors.  No, you don't get to hold the book in your hands or keep it for a day each year.  The books stay in the hands of the RallyRd company, which also has millions of dollars in exotic/classic cars and other classes of items sold as shares as well.  Each item is its own LLC and share buyers are legal owners in the LLC with a single asset... the collectible itself.  Regulated by the SEC, using a FINRA & SIPC broker. 

Instead of "what if?" this is a post about "what is."

RallyRd does not yet have a referral bonus, and I don't own any part of the company, so this isn't some spam/cashback post... it's board discussion.  Partial ownership in high dollar CGC graded books is now a thing.  

EDITED January 15, 2021 - created graphics to show the current RallyRd inventory for the Comics & Literature and Memorabilia categories.

 

I understand how the comic market  have changed over the year but come on!! I collect myself i have a few good ones   but yeah i could never own one of  those comics described in this topic  ,but the thrill of the hunt thats what its all about right?to actually own and have a piece  of comic history in our hands . Shares on a comics is madness dont  let the Dream die!

And for the fun of it there should a distinction betweenprivate low orbital flight that is still in the last part of the atmosphere and the full space station hence there shoul be a distinction on the cgc label i find the idea funny and yet appealing im i the only one 

That would probably be the most wanted type of cgc series label

serious if an astronaut would let say bring an action comic 1 to space station and back would there a New catégorie like went to space???? That would be awsome superman would finaly actualy flown into space
