Same here. I hold onto to the little I have, I'll raise my children (when
have some) to love such healthy things as Disney comics, and just to be sure
I'll place a curse on all my beloved belongings to deter my descendents from
parting with them. ;)

Good point I guess. Well, let's say I might consider it if I had 2 copies
of such a magazine. Even then, I think I'd rather try to find someine who
"deserves" it, that is to say, not I wouldn't sell it to someone who is just
out there to make a quick buck by investing in whatever seems financially
interesting-- whether funny-shaped potatoes, hideous statues, or images of
talking mice and ducks. I guess the very best choice would be a museum (of
comics, for instance).
