I definitely get it for the old stuff but when I see a comic from the last couple decades in one it makes my heart ache for the industry.
The problem isn't preserving a book though. Seeing a 9.8 next to a marked up price on a book that came out last year gives me in flashbacks of the idiocy of the late 90s that caused the market to crash.
As with a lot of media these days, it seems like collecting comics is pricing out kids. Getting a new audience for the medium is tougher and tougher.
