Assuming there is no a global crisis in progress in the future what is your opinion on the value of currently publish comics. And will golden and silver age comics sell for unbelievable amounts of money my guess is every comic will double in value or at least by half

With the loss of renewable resources and the ever-increasing move to digital formats, it is quite possible and even likely that all forms of printed material will move to digital formats, for ease of transport, storage and use. I can just see it now, man did you read the latest Spider-Man podcast?
Although things seem abundant now, it appears that comics were published in greater quantities before and they managed to make themselves scarce. I do not think that todays comics will hold any great value unless they give us something new or different from what is presently out there.
Where does he get those wonderful toys!
I have yet begun to surrender.

| To our unfortune there is not a supply and demand factor in comics. When you look at long term this would be so beneficial if each comic issue actually posted the amount made. Including 2nd and third printings. You would find variant prices rise tremendously but since they dont issue these numbers (which they are wise to do business/ profit margin wise) I don't see a huge rise in any common comic. Silver and golden age should continue to rise as the regular price rises as well. But also to our misfortune the prices can be manipulated very easily on a daily basis by just one buy on the internet. Then you throw in the future with the ever increasing need for paper worldwide. This will create possibly less issues made and less overall quanity made which brings you back to supply and demand. Bottom line collectors, nothing to worry about. Speculators and "want to be's" your days are numbered. I own my own business with over 400 employees in this type of selling enviroment so I see this happen everyday. I have faith in the die hards on here its the new group of collectors that scare me a little. back in the day we didn't have this much to chose from, from soooooo many sources. NOTHING is hard to get like in the 80's and some of the 90's and the bidding that goes on e-bay and other sites just don't help the cause to much. (and yes we want the lowest price we can get it for so some times we are the ones that bring the price down) Okay back to work. My 2 cents worth. Jesse James p.s on the supply and demand part imagine if you knew they made 50,000 copies of new avengers say #45 how hard would you really try to get it the day it came out. Since we don't we tend to think OH my one left on the shelf better get it before it sells out.

| I have my personal opinion on modern comics (post 2000). The print run are very low compared to golden age and silver age print run; the consecuence is that in 30 years, if number of comics readers increase, then it will be harder to find a BAtman 676 (80k print run) than a Batman 75 (over one million copies)

| one million copies? Golden age copies printed were in the 25,000 to 50,000 max and that was very rare to go that high. Silver age some comics (common) ran in the 50,000 to 65,000 each you will find every once in a while one copie close to 80,000. Current runs stay under 60,000 but most are in the 30,000 to 50,000 range. (these figures might be high right now because less comics are being bought this year over the last 5 years. Most indy comics are in the 8,000 to 10,000 but most after issue #1 can go down to 3500 to 5000. Though I understand your thoughts on this but reality wise there will be very few modern day comics that will equal golden age prices. With exception to low ratio variants and certified issues of importance. I really hope that what you said above comes true we need something to spark a higher demand right now with out over saturating the market. Jesse James
