- Early copper age books might be a good investment.

- Can't really add anything else that hasn't been said, if i had better knowledge and access of the industry during my speculating phase i'd have saved a lot of money and space!
The newer books have the added problems of TPB in all manner being printed adding to what is available. If you add in digital distribution (which is a separate topic entirely) there isn't much real value in newer comic books. Unless there's a movie/tv tie-in or something else that raises its' profile.
The 50-60 year scenario would only work if paper becomes obsolete resulting in most people burning/recycling anything paper based including comics, bringing down numbers in circulation. This hopefully pushes it to rare state and some value despite being in a digital age.
Sounds a bit far-fetched and knwoing book/comic readers collectors well we'll be clinging to our hobby kicking and screaming into whatever new fangled age there is.

- It's funny, I would actually go underground for that, lol, dispite my general apathy.

In the unlikely event that it does, you guys can be part of my underground militia to rebel against the government.

- To me, it's not what it's worth, it's what you love makes it most valuable.But if Ipicked a recent issue, it would be AsM 583B. (which I do own) 1st ish with the 1st african american president who loves comics no less. It's history and worth getting for long term investment.

- I tell you whats a terrible investment now is baseball cards. Unless you have something incredibly rare. I have boxes and boxes of cards that i don't think are worth anything.
