Absolutely, ZERO interest in this manufactured collectible. Can't ever see it increasing in value and even now has real minimal interest probably to comic collectors.

Only if they were GEM MINT 10......oh hey lookit that.....

No interest.

[Martin Sinescu]

Yeah, doesn't move my needle at all. I remember when they used to do this with baseball cards in the 80's. Just an artificial gimmick that I've never understood.

agreed

[F For Fake]

yeah, hard pass.

[oldmilwaukee6er]

35g x $0.53/g = $18.55 worth of silver

 

When silver hits $120 per ounce you'll break even

Man you guys are a bunch of snobs.  I mean when you look at it, all comics are manufactured collectables as well.  No difference here.  As you might guess I bought one and was happy to do so.  Can’t wait to see it slabbed.

Maybe now comics are manufactured collectibles, but actually until a certain point in the 1960's comics were the same as newspapers.. something to read and then thrown away ,.. so they were not manufactured collectibles back then anymore than a newspaper was

I'd buy one if the price is right. Maybe 25% over melt for the silver.

Any company using the word MINT, not associated with the Government or The Girl Scouts, is up to the snake oil sales.  

The comic book (as we know it)  has been around since what....the 1920's,  Printed as a form of entertainment to be read and usually thrown away, the medium is still going strong today.   This item, from what I understand, is not even a full reprint.  Rather a reprint of a cover, of one of the most desirable comics made.  What you are buying is laced in silver, given a meaningless GEM MINT 10 Grade, and marketed in a way, that makes the buyer think they are getting something rare/special.  This reeks of the nonsense they did in the 1990's with collectibles. 

If you enjoy it, that's cool.  Nothing wrong with buying something you enjoy.   I wouldn't give you the price of the silver for it.

Looking forward to all the Craigslist posts 20 years from now claiming to have an action comics #1 for sale.....

[FoggyNelson]

It’s sort of cool but way overpriced, would appeal to someone who collects comics and precious metals
