If you have some really OLD comic books you would like to get rid of, I will be happy to climb into your attic or storage place and get rid of them for you. Why in the world would you want to keep an old comic book of Batman and Robin, or Tarzan, or Superman? Telling you this, if you didn't know it already, will probably ruin my chance of invading your attic, but I wouldn't feel quite right not letting you know....an early copy of Superman just sold at auction for ONE MILLION dollars. It had originally been bought by some kid for TEN CENTS! That was back in the thirties when a dime was a dime. That dime could have bought an RC Cola and Moon Pie.
We traded comic books when I was a kid, mainly because we couldn't afford to buy a bunch of them. I remember a guy showing me in High School his collection of comic books from an earlier time. He had hundreds of them! This was some kind of rich kid. Finally, when he left for college or service or whatever, I imagine his mom saw a chance to get rid of all that trash and dumped them in the garbage can.
What is it that makes a comic book that sold for a dime now sell for a million dollars? There are a lot of answers to that one. Rarity is at the top of the list. The guy who plunked down one mil is banking on there not being any more first edition Superman comic books. If you bought an old warehouse and found ten thousand of them you would not get a million dollars each for them. By the same token he could not sell his for a tenth of what he paid.
You and I DO have something worth that kind of money...and more. It is US. We are rarities. No one in this world is exactly like you. Not even your twin! God made each of us different. That makes us extremely valuable. In fact, we are worth so much that.....God sent His Son to die on a cross for your sin and by that act, and your positive response to it, give to you life everlasting. That is how much you are worth! You are a one-of-a-kind rarity! Now, don't you feel a little better about yourself. ............ about those comic books in your attic.....give me a call.....
