In Junior High, and continuing for a few years in High School, I was very much into collecting comic books. Marvel titles were my favorite, although I did collect the Dark Knight limited series (Batman).
Last night I decided to see what some of the comics in my collection are selling for.... I went to the
Mile High Comics website and was happy to see that many of the comics in my collection are selling for $100 or more. I'm holding on to them for my son, who's now only 4 years old.
Surfing through their site brought back the excitement of buying comics again. I ended up buying over 100 issues I'm missing from one of my collections (my little lady doesn't know yet... shhhhhhhhhhh) !
I think I'll start collecting again. My income level is a little different now than it was before. I can buy some the expensive, rare books now.  Anyone have Superman #1 ??

Heh. Mile High Comics charges the highest prices in the industry. They are basically the last resort of a lot of completist collectors, as they have basically everything but the charge above guide for it.
Also, Mile High Comics buys collections in bulk, probably paying about 1 cent each for books they turn around and sell for an average of $3 each. If you want realistic values for what a collector can get for a comic, check out Ebay.
