Ebay and other online sources for finding back issues have made values go down for many comics.--it's just gotten too easy to find back issues now. Of coure, in some cases, comic book values still rise--note the recent sale of Action Comics #1 for over a million dollars.Tim DeForesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196984835550136464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211129077653388496.post-38683180618507959122010-04-21T04:19:50.782-04:002010-04-21T04:19:50.782-04:00And the interiors were equally a bit of a letdown....And the interiors were equally a bit of a letdown. Stunning cover, though. I remember the strangely unknown value that would allegedly accrue with some of these: in the mid-1970s, the Overstreet Price Guide mysteriously listed either Turok and/or Magnus current issues as having a $1.00 value. Irrational, when these were at the time 20 or 25 cents at the newsstand.Ever since, my faith in comic collecting values has been remarkably flexible and skeptical at times. The inflated prices today on certain things I bought (and were common for YEARS afterward, then at low prices)while new just makes me laugh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
