That's at least eight, nine bucks worth of lint there. I have Internet quotes to prove it. As collector mania spreads, even items like floor polish, paper plates, and rubber bands are becoming prohibitively expensive for many Americans. Rarity, once a prerequisite for an item to have collector's value, is no longer relevant. The issue sold more copies than any comic book in history, but fans still hoarded multiple copies in special dust-proof Mylar bags, in part because of its unique status as the least rare comic book ever.
Rarity is nothing.
And they're worth more, too. Age, once the other major determining factor in an item's worth, is no longer important, either. Items used to only get valuable over long periods of time. They're valuable because we only make a limited run of, say, 500,000. Okay, more, but still.
