DC Reboot & Renumbering: Any Impact on GA / SA / BA Keys?

[Matches Malone-migration]

Greetings, all. Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, I searched but didn't find anything…

 

With DC preparing its major reboot and renumbering, what effects (if any) will this have on the classic collectors and investors? Will the new emphasis on "younger" characters and stories make segments of the current readership more passionate about golden and silver era books and stories? Or will the classic eras be left in the dustbin of history? Would you predict a dip or upswing in the values of key gold and silver age books? From an investment point of view are you buying on this news or holding until it blows over? Are you inclined to buy more or potentially take losses based on this news?

 

I personally think that this stunt may be a good thing for attracting new readers but will have little effect on these older books. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for your replies.

There might be more interest in tec 359 with Barbara returning as batgirl, but i think for the most part there will be hardly any effect at all I think.

I don't think it will be a problem. The true collectors of these eras will always collect them no matter what moderns are doing.

I think actually a few copper and modern keys are going to get a boost.

Certain non-Superman/Batman characters.

I was wondering the same thing. My first thought was Tec 359.

[Matches Malone-migration]

I could see that ('Tec 359)...

Is Superman becomes single again, what about the marriage issue?

 

Does anyone see this as a permanent change, or testing the waters?

I hope he becomes single again, as just like Spider-man thats when he became boring and domesticated. Marriage is good but it`s more exciting when the heroes are single.Marriage limits them to explore other storylines. Like Superman has to ask Lois what to wear or Spider-man has to catch a bad guy quickly so he can get home and watch a soap with Mary Jane. Imagine James Bond married?

If you partake in this corporate Tom Foolery you will have less money to spend on worthy books.
