Do comics start ever start going up for no apparent reason? 3 3

[2Sunny]

This may or may not have a reason for the increased interest, but it made me wonder if comics ever start increasing in value for no apparent reason.  I got Secret Wars 3 and 7 as a bonus with another large order so that's the only reason I even looked at these, but really I know nothing about them.

There's always a reason. Of course, that doesn't mean it's a good reason.

Secret Wars #3 is first Titania, who is supposed to turn up in the She-Hulk TV series they're working on for Disney+.  It may not be a good reason, but it's definitely a reason.

No reason for that to happen, right?

Glad to hear you do have some fun in life.  Here's my daughter.  She's brought a lot of joy to my life, but sadly she took her convertible with her to her new job in California, so no more top down driving for me

Nice cars.  U should see what Oakman drives.

And yes, lots of speculation and shilling in our hobby.  Be careful.

She got hired by Verge Surgical as a BioMedical Engineer working with a team building a surgical robot so I'm pretty sure she can afford her own T-Bird now

Alright here it is.  The most bizarre thing I've seen on this forum.

Apparently we are talking about nothing in general,  but it needs to go up for no apparent reason.

Does anything go up without a reason? Well maybe my well nevermind.

At the risk of de-derailing this thread by accidentally responding to the original question ... it depends what you consider a "reason".

One of the series I collect pretty aggressively is a low print run indie. In the last two years, I've watched actually-sold prices for 9.8 slabs of #1 go from the $120 range to a recent auction sale well over $300. There's no external reason for this book to double in price. There's no imminent film or Netflix show or the like (it's been optioned forever, in development hell; while I expect an adaptation someday, that's not within the horizon). It's likely that there's simply two or three collectors who have taken interest in the series and so are putting price pressure on the fairly thin supply of high grade copies.

Is that a "reason"? Well, not in the same way that "Marvel announces Paste Pot Pete film" would spike the price of Strange Tales 104, anyway.
