If they for some reason were to not increase in value, then you would still have a neat collection and some great conversation pieces.

Batman comic books were first written and released during the years in which comic book popularity was exploding, which is why they are often categorized as Golden Age Comic Books. They continue to be written and printed to this day, though the old comic books are the ones worth more money today and more likely to continue to rise in value faster.
