The direct market matures. Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen redefine the medium. Speculator boom begins.
High print runs mean condition is the key differentiator. 9.8 census numbers matter more than total prints.
Copper Age (1984–1991) — the speculator boom begins. Direct market matures, prestige formats launch. First appearances from this era have become blue chips. High print runs mean condition is the differentiator.
Inspectable mathematical proof, blockchain/ledger provenance, data integrity validation, and asset taxonomy.

Big Barda uses her Mega-Rod to give the JLI's space vessel transwarp capabilities, and they appear in front of the Cluster Ship of Lord Manga Khan. Khan is determined to bring his quarry Mister Miracle to Apokolips to trade to Darkseid and he refuses to let this ragtag team of super-heroes stand in his way. To this end, he hires the galactic bounty hunter Lobo to destroy the Justice League. After receiving the contract and the promise a ten-year supply of space dolphin treats for payment, Lobo flies his spacehog to the destination point and Barda insists that they let him board so he won't destroy the hull of their ship. Barda warns the Martian Manhunter not to injure Lobo too severely for every drop of spilled blood will grow into a new Lobo. Lobo grabs Rocket Red and tears his armor off of him. G'nort encases Lobo in a green bubble, but as Lobo's willpower is sufficiently greater than G'nort's, he is able to walk through the bubble and grab him. He tosses G'nort out the breach he created in the side of the ship, but the Martian Manhunter catches him. Barda uses her Mega-Rod to open a dimensional aperture and pushes Lobo through it. The rift in time space sends him somewhere random and far away. What she doesn't realize is that the aperture's destination point is Earth—specifically, the New York City Justice League Embassy. Lobo plows through the wall, slamming into Guy Gardner. The impact seems to correct Guy's recent behavioral issues. With a nasty gleam in his eye, Gardner rises singing, "I'm baaaaaaaa-ack!"
