Back in the 1980's Action comic number 1 was what $10,000? Now it's $3,000,000.  Bought a bunch of 3-D comics for $10 a year ago on eBay. All in plastic bags and look like they were never read. One of them was Space Vixens which sold for over $1,000 on eBay and Heritage recently.  You never

purchases in collectibles that result in investments are serendipitous, and myself I never collected posters for anything other than spiritual investment I only find it funny when people say something is a good investment and then pointing out why they've been a terrible investment. It was

of all the ridiculous posts I see people make about collectibles in general, and movie posters in particular, this one was an absolute laugh. Pay attention folks: as far as 'investments' go, movie posters has, sadly, shown itself to be among the least best candidates for a place to invest
