If only my Dark Avengers issues could grow at the rate of the Silver Age issues. Personally, I don't like Wizard because it's become a big ad for Marvel and DC to promote the "Hot new book" coming out. And all their pricing for back issues has always been suspect. Also, their predictions for the pricing of future and even speculating at jumps in older issues more often than not turned out to be wrong. There's plenty of other places I could get comic prices online without needing to buy a magazine. It's just a big hype machine for the Big 2. Plus, I've always been sour on them since they got me with their April fools joke about the scary cereal guys one year. I wanted a Frankenberry comic so bad... Anyway,I'll take Overstreet over Wizard any day. Speaking of which, I need to get me one of those. Wow, that’s one of the most interesting articles I’ve read about comic prices.
