    Friend of mine is a bigger comic book guy than coins, and he says the market for good comics is hotter than the coin market

    But can you leave a few beautiful comics around your desk to admire during the day? Hmm...

    I could get on board with slabbing comic books if they had truviews of each page so you could read them! :#

    Don't what you could do about the games they are slabbing...maybe clone a copy so you could play it?

    Most of the classic superhero comics can be read in collections in books.

    There was one seller who must have had an incomplete Amazing fantasy 15. [5 figure book] he had each page that he had slabbed separately and is selling them singly. Lol. He must have figured 20 individual pages of a classic book would yield more than one incomplete copy.

    Do they have the 20% BP for comics too?

    If I had all the comic books I had when I was a kid, I would have quite a potential fortune. Used to have two stacks, each three foot high.... I think my Mom burned them after I joined the Navy. Cheers, RickO

    When I was around 15 years old (1966), my mom burned all my baseball cards. I don't know why. I think that she thought that they would make me gay, if I looked at them too much. I would look at and study the statistics sometimes, but did not look at the players very much. I had a lot of early 60's cards including more then one Pete Rose rookie card.

    Is MAD magazine considered a comic book? If so, I read those weekly, too, at the chagrin of my father.
