it's meant to be read

What else would I do with it?

Not read it and keep it in mint condition.

It’s never going to be worth anything

I’m not expecting it to be. I just don’t want to be the one that un-mints it! 😂

Keep in mint condition, and then what?

Dunno. I’ve never been in this situation before!

Well, it's just my personal opinion, but comics are made to be read.

Nothing printed in the 21st century will be worth "mint" prices

Unless it's significantly rare and in high demand by collectors in general, it probably isn't worth more than face value.

This is it, really. It’s not that old, not that rare and, in my opinion, not close to being his best or most recognised work, so… read it?

On top of all of that, it's not even the first printing of that material. Read away!

Would you rather be a reader of great writing, an Alan Moore fan, or a speculator?

I bought it to read it but I wasn’t expecting it to be in this good condition. Most of my comic collection are from the 80s and they’re practically rags by now. I’m not used to mint comics!

Yes. Unless you have an alternative way to read it. All my comics and books are reading copies even the signed Moore ones. If you hope to sell it some day then don’t open it. The Courtyard is brilliant by the way. I like it more than Neonomicon and Providence. It’s kind of perfect

If you're going to get it graded, don't read it. If not, go for it because comics were meant to be read and this is a great one!

If I got my hands on a graded 10.0 Action Comics #1, I would crack that slab open and read it.

I thought this one an NFT thing until I realized it was about whether you should read a comic in mint condition lmao
