Why do some people get rare confused with classic?

I hear a lot of people on here making a big deal about "rare" books and it is true that rare books can be worth a lot of money. It is like an animal on the verge of extinction. I am more concerned with classic qualitiy books that never go out of style like the X-MEN or the Watchmen. I have much respect for rare items or one of a kind items but that does not make a collector of them any more sophisticated than and invester of classics. So, you have the only gloss brown gumdrop ever made. Who really gives a spoon. A rare item is great, but a classic item continues to grow. How many people have been inspired by the Watchmen or Sandman? Now compare that to how many people have been inspired by your one of a kind comic book about windmills.

Because sometimes people collect for the thrill of finding that "rare" item that is near impossible to find as oppossed to the "classic" item that everybody has...many people that collect rare items don't make a big deal out of what they have...

Collect because they enjoy collecting which = the real hobbyist of this field.

I'm confused, Windmill #1 is not classic?

 

I like windmills, doesn't everybody? (shrug) I have hoarded #1's in the hopes of cornering the windmill market and cashing in once the movie comes out.

You seem to be pissed off at a lot of people. You should get a psychiatrist.

 

Maybe even a shillchiatrist to help them with their shilling problem.
