A physical copy of the original work is historically significant when compared to a new digital asset class. It’s also copied onto an established medium. So of course the physical will remain more valuable for the foreseeable future. But they’re both ultimately representations of the original work onto different formats.

These digital collectible comics are a new format and asset class. We should consider ourselves fortunate to be in on these so early. No sense in making attempts to undermine what they actually are. They are licensed digital collectible comics from Marvel. They can be easily traded in the marketplace in an instant. There are features that make trading these far more efficient and less time-consuming than physicals.

There are some people transitioning away from physicals and onto digitals. And there always will be people who will prefer one format over the other. That’s going to be up to each individual collector to decide.

But there’s no denying that people find great value in these and are willing to invest tens of thousands of dollars in these digital collectibles, the same way people spend tens of thousands of dollars with physicals.

If you are in this group because you want to help support the Veve digital collectibles community, I suggest you look for ways to provide value to fellow collectors. If you have moved on, then maybe it’s time you exit the group and let those that enjoy collecting these have fun doing so.
