Collecting Comic Books...Mostly DC Comics. It's been a while since I went to the Comic Book Store before I moved to my apartment. I will start it up again soon.

I have a large 300+ museum quality 1:24 scale dicaste classic model car collection made up of Danbury Mint, Franklin Mint, CMC, and other highly detailed model companies. I also build historic and fictional dioramas to put them in. But most of them are inside display cases.

My dioramas are similar to this YT guy’s with the exception that he uses real backgrounds on his and then uses a camera for his realism. I build and make my own from scratch to produce realism.

Question for sigtau305 and PB.

sigtau305: Do you have any DC or Marvel comics that have gone up in value? Have you sold any? Back when I was a center manager at a FedEx Office store, we had a regular customer that would ship his to an appraiser. He had them is special plastic individual cases. I remember packing and shipping them for him. He had some really old, but well taken care of comics, mainly DC.

PB: Where do you keep 300+ model cars man? Lol. How detailed are they? I’ll bet you’re the only D9 member with a hobby like that. Insane.

I keep them in my den. With the detail they range from tiny driving gloves inside the glove compartment to real leather interior to actual keys in the ignition. Whatever the real car has, it’s on the model. Except they don’t run of course.

They must be expensive. How do you keep your kids from getting in there and tearing them up? I can see you now if you caught your kids on the floor playing with them.

PB’s reaction to catching his kids on the floor playing with his model car collection Lol!

The Man of Steel Series (1986) and The Death of Superman (1992) were the only two DC comics that gone up in value. The rest of them didn't last because I never had purchased a plastic individual case even though they were in very good shape. I tried to sell some but the value for the rest of them wasn't as good. I had comic books that went back as far as 1971. The only Marvel comics I collected was mainly Spider-Man.
