Upon re-reading my previous post, I can understand why anyone would think that I feel comic book collecting is a hobby of less stature than other collectibles. I certainly do not feel this way at all.

I do not have any interest in comic books, stamps, matchbooks, cigar bands, bottle caps and many other things. But I do not feel that the collection of these items are of different significance - heck, I think it is all trivial, and mainly for fun.

One thing about comic books, tho. The encapsulation of these uniquely renders them less enjoyable (in my outsiders view) since you can no longer read them. Whats up with that?
