Your Million Dollar Comic Book Collection - article

An excellent article that discusses the value of that collection of comics you own in today's economy.

Michael R Murray - This Week In Comics - theCelebrityCafe.com said:

"What’s the value of that blanket your Grandmother hand stitched? Or the hutch your Great Grandfather made? Or your children? I have three bound collections titled “My Favorite Comics” that were shaved, sewn, and glued into hardcovers and some of you might cry to see what I’ve included in there. It’s not a monetary thing for me. I have a comic book collection I’ve spent my life working on and what I’m going to remember most is that both of my children read many years above their grade level having learned to read with it. I really can’t put a price on that."

Best quote and advice from the article that I like to live by:
"Buy what you like. If you enjoy what you’re reading you can’t ever go wrong."

I find it exhaustingly tedious that almost without fail, when a non-geek finds out I collect comics, the first question out o their mouth is some variation on, "Got anything valuable?"

My stock answer is, "I collect them because I love them, not to turn a profit".

The conversation is usually over at that point. Sad really.

I say I got Action Comics #1 (pause) Vol. 2. They get really happy & then let down.
