Whether it be an action figure, comicbook, rare video game, anything you may collect or have that people will call you a nerd for owning? Also how long do you plan on holding on to it? Or have you ever almost sold it? Anything you already did sell for some good money? Drop them nerd stories!

    My collection is newer, but for me it's this:

    Justice league #1 from the new 52. Jim Lee sketch variant. I've read when this book dropped, for every 200 copies of the book a shop purchased, ONE of these variants were given to the shop. Last I checked online there was an eBay add selling it for 200. Dunno how much it's really worth though.

    Also from new 52. Batman #1 variant. Can't recall the artist but I don't think it was capullo. Saw this on ebay for 80 bucks.

    I dont really have anything worth too much honestly.

    - Gi Joe #50
    - The Man of Steel #1 -5
    - all of those Jim Lee X-Mens
    - every issue of the Infinity Gauntlet
    - A death of superman in the black wrapping with red letters. Got that framed in my office at work

    no idea if any of them are worth anything though

    I did not know this time to make an investment. Did you follow the manga as it jumped off the deep end?

    I have Spider-Girl's first two appearances, think they go from $25-$50 a piece.

    You may be able to find it at a comic book store. There was one in Toronto that still had volumes 1-12 still sealed. Unfortunately they closed. I think I know where they sent their stock though.
