Yeah, Alien Legion#1 is never going to make anyone rich, Barry... Anybody got a copy of The 'Nam#1? I hear that was a hot book for a while...

Of course they're all just saying that so they can get my precious comics for pennies.But I'll never sell, never! smile

Reprints, piracy, growing legit digital comics, ageing fans, dying fans, decreasing new sales, economic downturns and buying for the lowest possible price using any of the other reasons.

I just get comics to read them. If I had wanted to invest in getting rarer and rarer books, to make it a proper investment, I would have done it a long time ago. But I'm always drawn to something I want to read more than the value of it. It was an investment. An investment that paid off in countless hours of reading enjoyment and all of the advantages that broad reading brings when you're young. Flash Facts too.

Bah. I'm sure I can find a hotshot Wall Street douche who thinks New Avengers V.3 #1 is worth as much as Action Comics #1 (the real, non-fuckface version).
