You have to make sure this is the right hobby for you, because it’s immersive. This isn't something you can get started with because you think it will make you an instant millionaire. You have to make sure you are really going to dedicate yourself.

Comic book collecting is NOT the same as comic book reading.

You will be spending time and money on your hobby. Collecting can be as fun and profitable as you want to make it!

In fact, that is why I created this guide!

I have come across many people who have no idea how to get started, and are desperate for help. That’s why I have decided to create the ultimate go-to guide on getting started with comic book collecting the quickest, easiest way possible.

I’ve left nothing out -- this guide is dedicated to you. It WILL become your best friend as you delve into comic book collecting.

I also point you to some invaluable resources...

Dave What a read! I see dozens of eBooks every month most are full of filler, but not this one. Your Comic Book Collecting eBook is astounding. From the history of comics to the Ages of comics and how to grade them, the what, when, where and how to start and maintain your collection is covered in a way that draws the reader in. If I have one negative thing to say about it.... It has to be that I wish I had written it! Congratulations Dave, this is a real winner. Steve Richards Northamptonshire, UK

It used to be that you'd have to struggle to get started collecting comics. It was like a club you couldn't get into unless you had certain qualifications or were of a certain age.

These days, anyone can get started collecting comics as long as they have the right information! You need to gain knowledge of the methodology of collecting comic books. You need high levels of information and discussions, as well as information on pricing and cataloging your own collection.

The point is that the web, and this guide, makes it easy! You can find great communities of support and a ton of information. You don’t even have to find any of it on your own!

That's why I've put this guide together -- it will tell you everything you need to know to become an instant expert! You'll be saving yourself a lot of time and money, because it's all laid out for you. This is literally everything you need to get started.

Many people think they can do it all on their own -- you can't! There is too much information out there. You need something accurate, concise, and actionable.

One of the most important concepts you'll come to understand as a comic book collector is that of supply and demand. Many collectors are not familiar with this concept and do not understand why the comics they bought 5 years ago are barely worth cover price.

Does that sound like a problem you've had as well? Don't worry -- you are not alone! It's key to be realistic with your goals, which is something you'll learn exactly how to do.

You will learn how to enjoy the medium -- not just because you want to become wealthy, but because you enjoy collecting comics in general.

Why get started? Part of the reason is because of...

There are few things out there that have a history as rich as comic books. Interestingly enough, the history and origins of comic books is actually a bit controversial. In this guide, we go deep into the history of comic books, from the cartoonish broadsheets of the Middle Ages, to England's Ally Sloper's Half Alley, to The Yellow Kid, and more.

You'll enter a world where Buck Rogers, Tarzan, Little Orphan Annie, and Dick Tracy were just born. Famous Funnies will whisk you back to meet Joe Palooka, Buck Rogers, and Mutt and Jeff.

You'll discover which comic, created by two teenagers, was born and would later become one of the most highly sought after comics in the world.

In fact, you'll learn everything you want to know about the 100 greatest comics of the 20th century! As well as which comic book gets the distinction of being the Comic of the Century!

For real comic fans, there are only two kinds of comics ,__________ and everything else! This is the comic book that made all of the others possible.

There are different comic book eras -- but not everyone agrees on what and when they are! We cover this interesting controversy in detail; including the Victorian Age, Platinum Age, Golden Age, Atom Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, and Copper Age.

It's important to understand the different eras as you build your collection. Perhaps more importantly, you should know why certain experts recommend different age titles according to what was popular and prevalent during certain years. You cannot effectively collect comic books if you don't have this information!

Best of all, I'll let you know exactly which titles to look for in each age!

In addition to learning about the rich history of comics, you need to consider your role in all of this.

There are three main kinds of collectors:

• Those who collect for pure enjoyment
• Those who invest purely for monetary gain
• Those who do a little bit of both

No matter what you choose as your focus, you need to invest in the long term -- for yourself and your heirs. When you read this guide, you'll discover how to avoid investing in a huge number of comics that will not be able to hold their value.

There are a lot of comics that are published in the millions and have little to no true resale value. There are moments of interests -- fads -- in every era. You absolutely must choose your investments wisely and carefully.

Someday, you'll want some money for your trouble! That's why you need expert advice on what to select. It's kind of like an insurance policy against choosing the wrong comics!

Here are some examples of what you'll want to buy...

• It can be best to invest in comics published before 1965, VG condition or better (Don't worry -- I tell you exactly which ones to look for)
• If you buy something from 1965 to the mid 70's, it should be Near Mint or better
• If I were to advise you on what to invest in today, I would suggest ________ __________, which mastered titles such as the _______ _________ and others (this information is only available in my guide!)

You'll also discover:

• A scarce, very collectible type of comic you'll want to get your hands on
• What # comic you'll want to go for...almost every time
• The criteria you need to know before buying any comic
• Which themes do better than any others -- sure bets for your collection
• Why you do not want to rely on fads to build your collection...and how to recognize them
