Comics started getting a lot of attention from legitimate long term investors, this resulted in everyone and there brother buying comics as an investment figuring that if the 1963 xmen #1 is worth 30,000$ then logically the 1991 xmen #1 will do the same by say 2018... the problem is that the comic companies produced for the false demand of hoarders and stockpilers who had no real interest in the product (aside from an investment). I understand something like a million copies of 1991 Xmen #1 were sold, when marvel knew they had about 30,000 readers. It was a bubble like computer stocks, housing, and gold. at some point everyone looked around and said "what are these really worth?" and the bottom fell out.
