📖 The Hustle
Flea market vendors often sell boxes of old comic books for $1-3 each without checking values. Look for key issues: first appearances of characters, notable cover art, and comics from the Silver Age (1956-1970) and Bronze Age (1970-1985). Bring a phone to check eBay sold prices. Store in bags with backing boards. Even non-key issues from popular series (Spider-Man, X-Men, Batman) in good condition sell for $5-15 each.

- First appearances, deaths, and new costumes are the three value drivers in comic collecting
- Store every comic in a bag with an acid-free backing board — it costs 25 cents and protects value
