I did participate in some of that 30 years ago and bumped the price for expected inflation. I have no idea what those go for these days :-).

Also, when you don't sit down and READ them. I mean these things are great! The stories, the artwork. I never understand people who buy stuff, send it off to be entombed in plastic, and have no idea what's inside. That's not what this is about. Thank you for saying this. Collectors who don't read their books blow my mind. I read a comic from my collection every night in bed before passing out. Currently reading my ASM run. Have read from #2 through 43 over the past few months. Over the past couple years I've read most of the first 100 Savage Sword of issues, most of the original Defenders run, the first 130 or so Iron Man, the first 160 or so Avengers, X-Men 94 through 250 and other stuff I can't remember at the moment. Of course I love sitting and staring at the covers, don't get me wrong, but reading the books is the best part.

Admittedly though I've turned to reading them digitally though just so I can keep them looking nice for the tenure of my ownership of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
