comic book collector?

Question

Do you guys think that the new captain america comic book where he dies will become a collectors item in the future? Thanks

Answer 1

It may but it depends on a lot of things like how many are produced and how many people hold onto them and keep them in good shape. The comics that demand the most money are the ones that are rare and hard to find. People used to just throw this stuff out as they got older or let their small kids destroy it by letting them play with it. The few surviving issues are the ones everyone is after because there are only a few left. Nowadays the market is often flooded with "collectibles" because they figure everyone will think it's worth something. A lot of people stockpile all kinds of things these days hoping it will be worth something someday so chances are that anyone who buys this comic will hold onto it and take care of it. Having said all that, it doesn't hurt to buy it now since it can be bought at face value and if it never becomes a collectible your not really out much money and if it does then it was worth the investment. :)

Answer 2

it will be if there is a hig demand for it, and if Marvel doesn't flood the market with too many copies.

That's what the comic book companies did in the 1990's. They printed enough to EXCEED demand. They printed too many and they kept doing re-prints 2nd prints, 3rd prints, 4th prints.... That's why you can still get Superman #75 (The Death of Superman) Batman #497 (Batman gets his back broken), and 1991's X-Men #1 (They printed over a million copies!) for less then $5.00

But I think they learned in the 90's how much damage flooding the comic book market did. So my guess is, if Marvel doesn't screw this up, Captain America #25 will be a collector's item but you won't get rich off it. I'd say in 10 years time it will be worth $20 to 40 dollars.

But comics aren't for selling and investing in. They are for reading and enjoying!

nope.
he'll be back, just like the "death" of Superman. if you have issues, sell them for whatever $$$ you can get, cause in a couple years, they won't be worth squat.
