@Doopie
I'll be banking on it. Dunno if I'll be selling it though. Maybe if I fall on hard times but otherwise, I'm keeping that puppy.

I'd bet she feels pretty shitty about it. That's another thing really, lately the trade paperback has been a booming popularity in comics with most people opting to lash twenty bucks for a six or eight issue arc rather than hunt down single issues. I don't do any collecting until Dublin Comic-Con rolls around. There's one stall that sells proper vintage comics and shit all bound up in pouches and cases. That's where I bought my Nova #1. I was actually looking to buy Silver Surfer #1 (425 euros) and the guy was like, "I got some other classic cosmic stuff over here", and he pulls up this box. He's pulling out some serious gems, Rocket Raccoon's first appearance, Star Lord #1, The Coming of Galactus and then he just goes and pulls out Nova #1 and I'm like, "How much for that?" 75 euros. I tell him he can put the rest away, handed him the money and the rest is history. Hopefully I've got enough cash next year for that Silver Surfer #1, but for now, I couldn't be happier. I've only taken the Nova #1 outta the pouch once for about twenty seconds, just flipping through it. My God... The smell of the paper was divine. The pages were suitably browned off, but Christ, it was all just so beautiful. I think in that moment I decided I wanted to start amassing a collection.

That'd look great on a comic book cover as well, wouldn't it? Written by Taneleer Tivan. Dunno about collecting action figures or statues though. That's something else that French teacher went on about. The day after mock exam results came out, practically nobody came into school so she just went around the class asking us all fairly basic questions. I mentioned reading and writing comics as a hobby and went on about sci-fi movies and everything (all in French). She started telling the class about her friend's husband who had a massive Darth Vader statue, SIGNED by Dave Prowse and she sort of looked at me and went, "And he's forty! Forty years old with this bloody Darth Vader statue." I'm sat there going, "But it's signed by Dave Prowse! That's like having The Holy Grail signed by Jesus!" My buddy beside me is in fits of laughter at this stage while the seven other people in the class are just like, "He has problems, like, serious problems." I then said I'd love to meet this bloke and have a chat with him because he sounds like my kind of person. I think that was when she started hating me because it was essentially me saying I'd rather not have the same opinion as her.

Well I hope to snipe this on Ebay in the final three seconds of the bid process........

@NovaCorpsFan

Yeah the trades are definitely a big factor. And I know people who have made the jump to only reading comics digitally. But great landing on Nova#1. I guess I missed when you wrote that you have that, but as Doopie said that'll definitely go up when the Nova film releases. Might have already went up in value thanks to the Corps in GOTG. But wow those other comics, please tell me you went back and got those haha. I think one of my friends owns either the first appearance of Silver Surfer or SS #1. He's a huge fan of the character. One of the most valuable comics of all-time that belongs to someone I personally know is Amazing Fantasy #15. I'm pretty sure that'll be his retirement. Haha, oh that old comic smell, it's a special thing isn't it?

I'll give em $5 and that includes shipping.
