I'm going to sell it for millions and retire

Welcome to comic misconceptions, the show

that takes you into details about the things

you think you know about comics, I'm your host,

Scott Niswander and we're going to be doing

another kind of different style episode again,

this week because you really seemed to like

the last one we did about secret identities

and in light of this happening, I feel like

So, in case you haven't heard, your mint condition

of Action Comics number one, a comic book that

many would consider to be the most important

comic book ever made, recently sold for 3.2 million

This no doubt has sparked some interest in the market

You know, like when Buzzfeed tells you that

your Game Boy color is worth over $1500 so you

search through all of your things to find it

and put it up online to find out that it's really

A very similar thing happened to comic books

in the 90s and the industry almost died completely

So first off, full disclosure, if any bias is shown

during this video because I never really got into

the whole collecting comic books thing, I'm almost

all digital for a long list of reasons that I'll

probably make a video about sometime in the future,

but the main one being that I find having a lot

of physical copies of comic books lying around

My dad gave me a chunk of his collection when

I graduated college and I really do want to read

them all and I'm going to, but for right now,

they're just kind of sitting in my closet in a couple

Not that I don't appreciate it, Dad, if you're watching,

But, what I hear a lot from my friends who do

collect comics, is that digital comics, unlike

their physical copies, don't have any resale value,

and yeah, that's true, most if not all digital

comic book retailer use agreements, like Marvel

for instance, clearly state that you do not own

the digital comic book you buy, but rather have

unlocked a private viewing session to it.

But that doesn't inherently mean that your

physical comic book collection will be worth

thousands or millions of dollars, in fact, there's

a great article in Business Week that says that

comic books that you have just sitting in your

basement are, to be blunt, probably worthless.

Even if they tell stories of a few people who have

collected thousands and thousands of comic books

only to turn around and sell them for just a couple

The problem is that the media doesn't really

report these things because, well, they're not

Instead, the media promotes these rags to riches

stories of ordinary people finding rare and valuable

comic books and selling them for millions of dollars.

And this could unintentionally warp someone's

perception and make them believe that all comic

This is exactly what happened in the comic collector

bubble of the 90s, but before we get into it,

I'm going to put on my imaginary generalization

cap that will let you guys know that I might

skip over some details that you think are important,

so if I do, please let me know in the comments and then

we can all kind of learn a lot more things that I

didn't have time for in this video community.

It all starts with the creation of the first

You see, comic books were originally sold

on newsstands, but in the 70s, several stores

opened up that would sell back issues of comic books

It wasn't long before publishers took their new

comic books off the streets and into these

specialty comic book shops, but more on this later.

Jump to the 90s where speculators were coming in

and seeing how people were buying and selling old

issues of comic books for many times their cover price,

especially hearing stories of golden and silver age

comic books originally a few cents at the time,

To them, that sounded like an amazing investment

opportunity, so they went out and bought multiple

copies of individual comic books in the hopes to sell
