00:00All you hear in the media is, you know, this comic sold for X amount or however many millions.
00:10I think for us though, the reason the comic exists is because of the story.
00:15Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, those are the timeless classics.
00:20Those are the books that are driving the movies right now.
00:24The 2012 superhero team-up, The Avengers, capitalized on the strong Marvel track record
00:29to the tune of $1.5 billion.
00:32If I hear that a book I have is getting turned into a movie or something, or a TV show, I know it's going to go up.
00:38It's exciting. It's driving back people in here who want to learn backstories.
00:43What makes a comic valuable?
00:45The introduction of a new character who becomes a 20-year overnight sensation like Deadpool.
00:50The issues of the first appearances, nobody knew that they would blow up and have like a billion-dollar movie 20, 30 years later.
00:58I don't think you should put the cart ahead of the horse and you're like,
01:01oh, I'm going to speculate that this rebirth Superman is going to be worth its weight in gold.
01:07Because most likely it's probably not.
01:10So a good story is priceless to you?
01:12Yes.
01:13Coinage.
01:16Life well spent.
