This Godless Communism (Treasure Chest Comics)
So I was just scrolling through my ComicBookRealm website seeing what might have gone up in value and I noticed a huge amount under profit. Checked to see that it was my Treasure Chest comics for the This Godless Communism run.
I had these on a back burner to try and get when I had the choice but wasn't actively seeking them out. (For the record, it is Volume 17 of Treasure Chest issues 2-20 evens only--so 10 comic books.) I went into my LCBS one day and they have them up behind the counter for sale as a set. All 10 for $60. I knew from just mild interest that some of them had been going for that for a single issue on eBay. So it took me about less than a second to pull the trigger on them. Fast forward a few years and now the whole bunch (I graded them about a 6.0, so I'm talking that price not for mint) is worth $1,000. That's a nice profit. Especially for something I bought just because I thought they were a hilarious throw back to the red scare shit of my youth.

1. You can read the atheism parts at this link
without having to get lucky at your comic book shop.

3. At the value they have now
I might actually get these graded and protected. Worth looking for. They are pretty unassuming--don't have the panache of a first appearance Black Panther (which is my next big purchase since we were "born" in the same month and year).

5. I don't do it to a lot of books, but when they get up there I do.
And these are at that point.
