	Comic book collecting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Comic book collecting is like all other collecting; while most collectors do so for personal interest in the enormous capabilities of the medium and the vast casts of characters, a few also collect exclusively for profit.
		Those who read comic books in their youth but who stopped at some point and did not keep these books often want them back in their adulthood, largely for nostalgia's sake, and are willing to pay a comic book specialty dealer.
		The comic book speculator market reached a saturation point in the early 1990s and finally collapsed between 1993 and 1997.
