Episode 73: The New Normal

ByAugie De Blieck Jr.

  2. Bleeding Cool already has had for years a regular column where for half a minute hot comics (based on whatever movie/TV event is happening) go for a premium. No wonder at some point the general public would catch on, as they did for anything vintage before.
    Many people, even on the European market, have been doing this for ages based on the BDM, our own Overstreet, sort of. Here in the early eighties you could find first printings of almost anything for breadcrumbs, if you knew where to look. That’s how my own collecting spree got started, but I was always a reader first, value of the object always came second.

    This will all go away when everything goes digital only, of course.
