3. Apparently Wizard magazine will stop including its comic price guide in the magazine. I'm a bit torn on such price guides. On one hand, I think they take advantage of kids by giving them a false impression as to the value of such comics or baseball cards or whatever. On the other hand, it was an unforgettable lesson the first time I actually tried selling a baseball card to a shop for the price quoted in Beckett and realized that the dealer had no interest in paying such a price. And I'll never forget the precocious kid in elementary school who made tremendous money reselling Garbage Pail Kids in the halls.
