- >high. As an example of how much comics can go up in price from popularity,
- >the Superman comic in which he dies is now worth almost $40!!
-
- I stopped collecting long ago, but I can't beleive it's at $40.
- The comic was talked about everywhere, non stop for days. Newspapers,
- local news casts, etc... Everyone was instructed to get a copy,
- and probably has. I can't see you even getting $10 selling one, besides
- the stores probably kept 20 copies for themselves. The Superman comic
- is definately not scarce, but rather poorly diluted. You'd only
- get the $40 value price from the die hard collector, but he already has
- 10 copies. If he wanted more, he'd have gotten them. You're lucky
- to get 40% of the value from a store, assuming they are interested.
- The comic is worthless until "mommy" throws the comic out, and with
- adults probably making up most of the comic idustry, that isn't gonna
- happen. It's a dead end. Hell, the local library has a copy...
