Looked up all of the comics from my childhood and they are essentially worthless. In the early days of comic book collection the rarity caused a gold rush that was never gonna be repeated again thanks to mass production. Same thing goes for pretty much any collectables now (cards, toys etc)
Sounds like the work of a supervillian
It cracks me up that he says that they stole thousands of books and then the site reports that it was $4000 in goods. Comics really aren’t as valuable as I would have guessed in a digital world.
In that theft, the big book they namecheck is Fantastic Four #48, which is the first Silver Surfer / first Galactus.
Depending on condition, it’s a solid several hundred dollar book with graded versions into the low thousands.
Even worse… that means that the “thousands” of other books were essentially worthless.
