When the wife threatened to pitch them, I shipped them all to my nephews. I hope they got more psychic value than the couple of dollars I could have gotten locally. I expect my kids to get them back when they're a little older. I think a couple things kill the prices: - A lot were produced. - It's much easier to find and sell them. (Thank you eBay) - Softcopy as a medium doesn't appeal to today's buyers. I wonder if Comixology will go after older properties.

> I wonder if Comixology will go after older properties. They already are. They do have some issues going back to the 30's. It's just spotty, and generally seems to be driven by "special events", e.g. they seem to have filled in bits and pieces related to Guardians of the Galaxy with the newest series in the run-up to the movie. Also, I expect they're also affected by poor archiving in early years - I know some publishers outside the US used to just dump excess stock and sell off or give away originals without ensuring they had proper archive copies. Many of them have had to buy individual issues from collectors when wanting to do reprints etc.
