I guarantee....the guys who pay millions now for Pokémon or cards will soon figure-out that Golden Age key comics are the best.

 

Until they realize that Stamps and Model Railroads are the OG collectible.  Then they will all flock to them, despite having no childhood connection to those.

You mean, the guys who have an emotional connection to Pokemon because it was a big part of their childhood will suddenly start caring about comics that were not a part of their childhood?

Yes.  We all end-up gravitating to what's better....after initially starting with what we know and like.

Yes, because run building and collecting keys were even higher priorities back then than they are now. (Cover art has become more and more of a focus over the years.)

The comic hobby was even less developed back then than it is now.  Not more developed.  Without pressing & cleaning....I'd guess 5 copies of MF 73 are out there that are 8.5 to 9.0, at most.  1 9.2 if they're very lucky.

Who gets to decide what's "better"?

Let me see if I can get an even more Soviet-style vote:

Would you rather own ...

The Mile High Action 1

CGC 10.0 New Mutants 98

TMNT 1 autographed by Stan Lee 

 

 

Did Stan draw a spider on the cover of the TMNT?  Need to know before I decide.

No but he signed everything so there's probably a few thousand copies with his signature on them.

If we have to debate if 200-300 existing 1938 1st Superman's is better than 20,000+ existing 1995 1st Chalizard's....we're never gonna get anywhere.

[ChillMan]

And with 95% of the Chalizards collected & preserved from Day 1.

[ChillMan]

While 90% of the Action 1's were tossed around.

[ChillMan]

I'd rather have a Chalizard in 2.0 condition....a 1990's GAME USED Chalizard.

Hell I'll take ANY of them since, in 50 years, I would be 120 years old. This would assure my longevity!!!

Yes.  But for right now....how about acquiring the 1st published image of Psalm 50:10 on a t-shirt.

for every animal of the forest is mine,
    and the cattle on a thousand hills.

Underrated....#1 to help sadness about pets.

You seem to have a complete inability to understand any perspective other than your own. That tells me that trying to debate anything with you would be a waste of time, so I'm going to disengage.
