People seem to want to hold on to some tangible aspect of comic collecting, while having them in a format that's easier to store and access.

Well if your a collector, you know majority of collectors go for first appearances,origin issues, #1 issues, and final issues of comics series. oh and it is a sellers market. the thing being raw comics and when i saw raw i mean Not graded are going for a fraction of what a CGC graded comic goes for. Considering your still reading abit of modern stuff, do you have any idea how much Spider-Gwen's first appearance was going for last year and the beginning of this year? about $ 60 bucks for a ungraded copy and a graded 9.8 was fetching in the triple digits price range. i could go on and on about certain GRADED copper era comics now fetching in the $1k to $2K dollar price range. there still is a following. even if i were to sell ALL my comics for a buck a piece i would still walk off with my pockets more filled then just someone who's spending money on a digital volume of any title.

Like i said, im not knocking digital format for reading purposes but i am knocking it for there being no value at all coming back from it. i enjoy being able to pull my flash drive out with sumatra and start reading marvel comics presents, amazing spider man, incredible hulk etc...
