Will Modern Comics Ever Be Valuable One Day? Comic Investing Advice!
Quite a bit of people are wondering will Modern comics ever be valuable one day and if they should consider investing in them? The answer is pretty complex, but I'll try my best as to what I think about the question from my own personal experience.
As most readers of my blog know, I'm not a big fan of Modern comics as investment choices. Sure, there are some valuable ones out there, but not a lot. A lot of the problem is because there's too many of them floating around at very high grades.
It's exactly the opposite of Silver Age comics where there aren't many copies of comics from that age floating around 9.4 Near Mint. Modern age comics have a lot of copies floating around at grades even higher than a 9.4.
However, the question is will comics from the modern age ever be valuable. For the majority, the answer is a big fat whopping no! Unless you're talking about a few very limited variant covers, most modern age books wont be very valuable and here's why:
1. Unlike the old days, too many people are conscious of taking care of their comic books. That means a lot of people are bagging and boarding them, hoping one day they'll be valuable.
2. Even if there are low print modern age cover variants, I doubt those comics will be as in demand as a Silver Age X-Men #1 or the first appearance of Iron Man.
3. Unless a huge natural disaster happens there will be way too many copies and high grade copies floating around in the market, which strengthens my point in number one.
So which modern comics will be valuable someday. The high grade key issues of a popular character or event. Characters like the first appearance of Gambit or Carnage are pretty valuable already. However, if you want to invest in these comics, you'll want the highest grade you can afford. A Near Mint 9.4 wont cut it.
You'll want a 9.6 to 9.8, and not just any regular issue. Key issues. Just like Silver Age and Bronze Age comics, the most valuable will always be the important key issues. If you're aiming for modern age comics, buy ones that are CGC graded.
Thirty years from now will modern age comics be valuable? Maybe. Maybe not. Will Silver Age comics be valuable thirty years from now? Yep and even more so.
