Nice compilation. Slightly surprised there’s no Captain America issues in there, particularly the first. Thought they would have been worth quite a bit.
I think I get how pricing collectible works. It’s all supply and demand and marketing hype. Most of them could sometimes be slightly more valuable than a piece of lame shore rock but because of the experimental factor of the item, meaning the commercial value of the comics has already been tested and earned big bucks from the market. Nevertheless, they’re still a piece of beauty.
