The Mystery Value of Comic Books

Comic books are a commonly collected item and Bob Bretall has the largest collection of all. Even Guinness World Records has recognized his accomplishment. He’s read all of them and could probably tell us what is next to come in the Marvel universe. Bretall refuses to divulge the worth of his collection, saying “Sorry. I do not like to emphasize the monetary aspects of collecting comics.” His reason is because he thinks stories about comics should focus on the enjoyment of reading comic books, rather than how much money they’re worth, but maybe he’s just a little shy about the huge amount of money he must have spent over the years to buy so many comics.
