If you buy what you read and what you like, you'll never worry about the market and always be happy
Bingo
Well said friend
I only read Action Comics 1-12 over and over again. Great advice!
comics and sports card are not for reselling
We learned in the 90's that speculating on comics was a bad idea. I'm not shocked that it's still a bad idea.
lol
This is why patience is key. Long term collectors know that - the people that just jumped in have/had no clue.
EDIT - I posted this before you said the exact same thing. Haha
Haha it’s hard to be patient though
Amen brother! I tried telling this to some of the slab fan boys on one of the spec RUclips channels, and they jumped all over me like I was sub-human chud lol
I am glad I chose a down market to get back into collecting comics because I would have walked away during the comic boom…
Now is the perfect time to get back into it
You are 100% correct, brother! People who are spending on speculation are playing with fire! And that means they're going to get BURNED at some point! If someone is collecting for the love of characters, stories, art, and community, THAT is the right reason! People need to just enjoy the genre and stop with the flipping books and stuff!! Patience may pay off, but only time will tell!
appreciate that
A major part of the problem here was that a lot of dealers on RUclips were week in week out telling everyone to buy the hot book before it goes up even more, and surprise surprise they had copies to sell, I got shouted down on one channels comments for saying that I would not buy UF 4 at $4500 and I explained why I thought that was the case. my reasoning being that at the top of any market the only people to make money are the ones who already have the product , there was more with regards to supply and demand , I did not call anyone anything bad I just made a reasoned argument. I got called stupid and had my post deleted , It was obvious to me that the entire reason for the video was to drum up sales at the high price but it was done as a you better get it before it's too late video. Any collectable fluctuates in price and if you look at the history of any over inflated market , the market always adjusts. There is an element of personal responsibility at play here, if you want a guarantee of return by Government bonds!
I refuse to ever make hot top 10 lists
There are only three bottom-line reasons a particular comic book has value --
1. Paper content (for recycling purposes);
2. Its inherent entertainment/artistic value (which is highly subjective but depends mostly on the opinion of the purchaser);
3. Its position as a status symbol (which is also highly subjective but depends mostly on a consensus opinion from other people).
I submit to you that anyone who's serious about trying to profit financially from purchasing desirable comic books would be much, much better off investing in gold. It's scarce, it has numerous real-world applications that will ensure it's always in demand, it's compact, it's darn near indestructible, it's held in high regard by just about every culture, government and financial institution on the planet, and it has a proven track record of financial stability and profitability that goes back thousands of years.
Yes, a high-grade copy of _Detective Comics_ issue 27 will likely be valuable for years to come. But it consists of cheap newsprint that will probably deteriorate over time, and it's possible to purchase a facsimile for $50 or less that accomplishes everything an original printing does, except "being an original printing." If there were to be a really serious economic downturn in the U.S. and elsewhere, prices for collectible comic books are gonna drop like rocks.
Just my opinion. And that's why I buy cheap reprints.
This is incredibly well said
@@Stickygoose Thanks, man. Glad you like it.
First gold is also volatile. Has always been. Secondly a facsimile does not accomplish everything an original comic does.
@@socom18psp Sure, the price of gold fluctuates. But if you look at long-term data -- say, for the past century -- declines in price have always been followed by increases, and the overall trajectory has been upward.
Please tell me, what can an original-printing copy of _Detective Comics_ issue 27 accomplish that a facsimile of that issue cannot, aside from commanding a higher price on the basis of it being an original-printing copy?
Detective Comics 27 has been around for 84 years now. In that time it has gone from 10 cents to well over 1 million dollars even in mid grade. Gold in 1939 was around 34 dollars per Oz and currently sells for just over 2000 dollars. In the last 84 years tec 27 has out perfromed gold by a massive amount. From 1939 to around 1970 golds value went up around 1 or 2 dollars basically nothing. Since the 1970s it has become very volitaile and has had huge incrases and decrases in value. As for the facsimile question the only thing it shares in relation to the original is the art/story and even that is somewhat different. A huge aspect of collecting is the actual material itself. A facsimile does not have the same type of paper and feel as the original. For collectors like myself the feel, smell and historical signifigance of the original is lost. Even the way the colors of the inks look is not the same experince of the original. This is a huge aspect of collecting the comics in the first place.
Great video bro! I agree, being patient can really pay off. I was looking to buy a graded comic for my PC about 6 months ago. There were only 2 of them on the census graded at a 9.8. One of the holders listed theirs for over $400 on EBay. Recently, I was able to get it for $100. I am so thrilled to have it in my PC and to get it for over 75% off is awesome! 🙂
The trust lacking in the industry for me started when ebay was introduced. Making all the sales data open to everybody only meant prices became more volatile and could be manipulated even easier. I doubt that all the steep price increases we saw over past few years were only due to covid money and FOMO. These are not crashes, these are price corrections.
I agree I think the market is correcting itself
Finally! A real comic collector that understands the basic economics and artificial inflation created by comic speculators who call themselves collectors and ruined the market. They should look-up the value of their books in a 2020 Overstreet and subtract that number from what they paid to see how underwater they are. The market has been ruined by speculators who call themselves comic book collectors. Hopefully it is stabilizing, but there's been a lot of damage done
Probably damage that can’t be undone
I honestly refuse to buy any books inflating due to an MCU release. The MCU's output, especially after Endgame, has largely lacked staying power. Exactly to your point, if this thing is gonna be on Disney+ in eight weeks after a meh box office showing, the comic price will dip in kind. If you're trying to time the market and flip the book before it dips, it's kinda sucky because it leaves someone else holding the bag, but I suppose you CAN make money that way.
I just collect books for characters I like, and I think if I ever dip into buying some seriously pricey keys, it'll be for timeless stuff when they're not in the middle of the movie hype cycle. As a DC lover, (love Marvel too but not as much lately), I'm bummed that this same MCU cycle is probably coming for the new DC movies.
This discussion of "trust" is very important and something we really need to talk about as a community but I feel like social media kinda solved that problem for the publishers. As a 20 year collector, I know that the worst decisions that do the most damage to the community come from the very top of DC and Marvel (and now their parent companies). But the publishers weren't pumping up all these worthless, modern variants, it was youtubers. The publishers have hid their influence behind a bunch of influencers who seem to be sharing misleading market data with the masses.
When the market crashes, the folks that are going to take the blame are the influencers who keep trying to promote dollar bin fodder as spec books.
Appreciate you watching vulture
You are the comic book Moses coming down from the mountain… you bring the truth etched in stone and will smite the disbelievers (spec monkeys, flippers and overall scoundrels).
Bahahaha you’re making me blush
That pimple face nerd was golden….lol
Had to do it
The problem with the comic book market are the speculators who do not love what they collect. Love keeps the price high while speculation makes a volitile market
"love keeps the price high"
I think a big takeaway regarding the comic market in recent years is comic fans should trust in patience. And when I say "comic fans," I mean people genuinely interested in the medium in some way.
I'm talking about the readers and collectors who like the stories, characters, creators, writing, art, history, etc.
Some books are gonna go up in price and part of that is simply due to time. But there are deals out there and books aren't all unattainable.
Patience comes in especially with speculation. If you're after a book and the prices jump because of a movie or TV show, fall back for a bit. That's also where the beauty of having a variety of interests comes in. There's always something I'm after.
Let the flippers, dealers and speculators swap money with each other repeatedly. C'est la vie.
Appreciate the discussion. Happy hunting!
thanks for watching so much geno
Seen it all before many times, especially the early 1990s. Flippers take the gamble. Flippers are investors for a short time. They don't have patience. So their misfortune always turns to my fortune as I just buy up their stock at a cheaper price. It always works. What actually constitutes a comic book community? Is there one? I doubt it. Everybody is in it for themselves and everyone wants a bargain.......or a profit. It can be cut throat.
it is extremely cut throat I have no love for that game
I got into collecting around the end of 2020 and I went after a lot of bronze and copper keys. I did my homework (BIG TIME) and purchased solid keys. A few have continued to climb, but most have dropped significantly. I think some of the problem is the economy, some of it has to do with the MCU and DC movies absolutely sucking. Either way, it’s hard for me to justify buying when I see values evaporating away.
We will see what happens long term…
I have all the keys I want at this point. I have been slowly sending them to be slabbed. I have, with the prices being so low, getting books at what I am comfortable at. I am even on the lookout for those lunatics who paid fortunes for books. I'll buy them at the price I want to pay. Win win all around.
Im getting to the point where I have most of the ones I want
@@Stickygoose I believe that in anywhere between 18 to 20 months, as usual, the recession will be behind us. The Markets are already treating it as such even though the Gov't is lagging in its declaration. No politician wants to be that person bearing bad news. So, people will begin shopping when rates drop, and money becomes cheap again. Or enough Banks fail and the Fed has no choice but to speed up the rate drops and fix this crap. Some collectibles will vanish from view, like Pokémon and video games, others will get traction like Coins (Gold/Silver) and mature markets like comics. by then books would have risen they average 3~4% per year netting a nice return by 2025.
Solid video. I feel like im the only guy that buys comics/slabs for ME and not for some future sale on eBay. I understand making money is great. However im not turning my hobby and joy for comics into a job and grind to make money.
You are doing it the right way
then why do you buy slabs and not raw? asking out of curiosity
@@RobinApplewood I like to protect my comics inside the slab, it looks nice and professional and i like to have the information of the comic on the label above it.
@@xMACHOxMANx I see. I use top-loaders and stickers for that. Saves thousands and I can read the comics too. To each their own
@@RobinApplewood nice!
I do very well on comics. I pick up cool cheap old stuff. Nice covers and classic heroes. Every week at the flea market I’m making $800-1200. Just an anecdote
I stay away from the big books. Turning $5 comics into $10 comics all day.
That's awesome
Four months later and it looks as though you may be right. Your FF #52, CGC 5.0, seems to have stabilized and is averaging just a bit below your $700 outlay, at least on eBay. It’s possible much lower expectations around film quality and performance have settled in to the comic market. If either Marvel or DC were to suddenly turn things around, though, I think you’ve got the best outlook to adopt. When things go crazy, up or down, better to mostly observe at a distance, taking advantage of opportunities, but not letting FOMO get the best of us.
The way I see it is there's not a whole lot of people reading comics anymore. The speculators are being burned and trying to bail out and the rest of us are ageing out.
I was talking to a bar manager a few weeks ago. He liked the MCU but never read comics, we were chewing the fat and he said something that's really stuck with me.
'my grandfather used to collect Cufflinks, where's the market for that now?'
Don’t go to bars
I am sitting for the guaranteed jackpot on unloading my stash of Booster Gold #1s!!!
Hahaha jackpot!
It’s damn hard to be patient when life is so short. Spend on the things that bring you most joy.
You are on to something right here! You are absolutely right
Facts here. I waited a little too late to sell my run of Thor: God Of Thunder. If I sold them in 2021, I’d be rich. Couldn’t give them away after Thor: Love & Thunder stunk up the joint.
You buy another one at half the price or at a higher grade and sell the one you bought at a lower grade but higher price point. You have to buy what you love. If its AMS 300, then buy more of them cheaper at a higher grade. Its like buying stocks, buy low sell high. People just don't see it that way.
"Crash?, what crash" says the dealer's you dont want to buy from. Many books are just not selling but i think we are nearly at the bottom price for many books
Meh, I got back into collecting in 2020 after a loooong hiatus. It was fun, there was nothing better to do. Sure the values of my comics have dropped since but I have no regrets because I enjoy it. Who knows what will happen, if the next few generations don't have any interest in comics the bottom could drop out of this whole thing.
it was a rough time to get back into the hobby
@@Stickygoose I actually disagree. My opinion is that the time it happens is the best time.
I still don't understand how a movie, tv, optioned comics series can raise the stock of comics. I don't recall that happening in the early 2000s when X-Men, Spider-Man and Daredevil
hit the big screens. I guess time will come when it won't matter if characters come to big or small screens will affect the value of comIcs. Didn't it used to be supply and demand which affected values?
Buy what you like. Collect what brings you joy. Only purchase what you can afford. Realize that the "value" of any collectible could drop to zero at any point. AND always remember that all collectibles, including comics, are NOT investments. Cheers!
Cheers Jim
I think you’re 💯 right I don’t trust listings hyping up movies and potential speculation in the description
If I buy it’s because I love the character or it’s a book I want for the collection
Speculation feels like it will never go away after the Spider Boy chaos and some things are on the rise because of Spider Verse but the hype will pass like we saw with Kang Avengers 8 solid Silver Age Key I think Avengers 4 is the bigger of the two
But it’s Villian Speculation Doom books hold strong but Taskmaster, The God Butcher, Modok all fell off after their movies and collectors never seem to learn each time a book falls off
Those villains are perfect examples
Hey, you are so right the comic book market is volatile. I am over 60 years old. I was a collector, my whole life to tell you the truth I have never seen a dip until the last year or so in the comic book market. Well I gave up bartending. I don’t work anymore so obviously I have to sell which I had most of the keys silver age I don’t have many left or I don’t want to get rid of my amazing fantasy 15 6.0 I only paid $4000. Now it’s roughly $80,000.. the market is coming back on a few books definitely on Spider-Man. I have amazing Spider-Man. 1 6.5 I only paid $4200. The last one on eBay just sold for $35,000.. of course if you act quick you can still pick up a low-grade amazing fantasy 15 for $20-$30,000. Well anyway, I can’t complain because I still have my X-Men.1 7.0 I bought that ungraded years ago for only $300 now it’s roughly in the $30,000 plus range. My fantastic four. 48 9.6 I only paid $3600 on eBay. Yes, I know the gold collect FMV is $37,000 the last copy sold for more than that. I love watching your videos. I enjoy your content . I have to say Gwen Stacy is my favorite female character so I really love my death of Gwen Stacy amazing Spider-Man 121 9.8 I paid $3600. The last copy just sold for $7200..
My LCS always tells new customers to buy what they like, don’t chase spec books and the book of the week.
your lcs is telling you right
It was a bubble. End of story. Everyone jumped into comic books and legos. The companies were happy to oblige by printing/producing more which flooded the market. Just take your losses. You’ll NEVER get your money back.
Lol I love this market! Picking up the keys I’ve been watching for years 😂
Now is a great time to buy
Spent the last year getting a bunch of romita Amazing Spider-Man comics I’ve always wanted to
Great purchase on that CGC5.0 for $700! It should not go down another 50%, becuase it already has. In May of 2021 through Jan 2022, it was selling anywhere from $1,250 to a crazy HIGH price of $1,994.... For a 5.0! So I would say, getting yours for $700, it is a great deal! Now is definetly a great time to Buy!
thanks brad
I wish ASM 300 would get cheaper 😢 it seems like those foundational type of books have retained their value or just kept going up but the spec keys have DEFINITELY plummeted over the past 1-2 years lol
ASM 300 is down 30 to 40% since the high about a year ago.
A lot have but ASM 300 has crashed
I bought my first and only ASM 300 from an OKC store in 1992. I believe it was Atomic Comics. It was VF+ condition and the price sticker on it was 30.00 😳 they had recently just come out with ASM 363 which was my first purchase at cover price and I think 3rd appearance of Carnage.
I can understand both sides of it sometimes I may pick up a book while it's hot to see the hype behind or cause there might be an increase in value if it goes down whatever its jsut another cool book I can have into my collection am not in this to flip books necessary if I can it's a nice bonus but people new to the hobby won't realise how bad some of community really is and it's a real shame.
New people are the ones getting taken advantage of which is awful
My collection bought from 2021 to today is worth roughly $70,000 less than I paid for it! Oops :)
Damn Steven
I heard nothing but the truth!
Appreciate that
The reason a 50% drop won’t bother a lot of people is because they bought the books with stimulus money. The market isn’t volatile, it is currently stable.
Yea I never got a single dollar from that by the way
@@Stickygoose , the Feds pumped a lot of money into the economy during the pandemic, a lot of that went into comic books, smart money was selling books at that time, but yes, there has been a 50% drop, so you might say the government took that hit.
@@shepherdsknoll No. Over 80+ % of the C0vidiot $ went to the Banks,and stayed in the banks. Nevermind what the teLIEvision said or the government, it was all lies. I work in loans for one as does my Wife. Cheers.
I would never call people who jump in to a hobby because they see dollar signs collectors. That’s what caused the 90’s comic book crash and you can these days point a finger at CGC for inflating values. 1:47
I was referring to people that wanted to become collectors
This is why I only buy collected editions 😵💫. I ain’t trying to lose all my money and not even read it.
Pretty sure your doing it the right way
Everyone was warned. Also those of us speaking up were being hushed by everyone that had their hand in the cookie jar.
Heard that
I'm not sure the market itself is necessarily volatile, but the speculators that weaseled their way in made it appear so. As you say, there are time tested books and characters (AF 15 is an obvious example) that are immune to spec behavior. The ultra high end of this market will always be stable. As will the low end. Dollar books are always gonna be dollar books. It's spec dabblers skewing the means for middle of the road books. Example: I picked up a very decent Spotlight #2 several years ago for peanuts. Similar examples are 4 or five times what I paid. I know there was a Disney+ special and all but that doesn't affect the rarity or availability of this book. Speculation is a four letter word as far as I'm concerned. I'm glad there are slightly fewer than there were recently, but it's something to always look out for. Every bubble bursts and whenever specs and flippers raise their heads, unfortunately the only thing to do is wait them out.
Buyer beware read the fine print
New Sub here. Where did you get the slab frames from?
Eccframes.com tell them sticky goose sent you
Comic book pump n dump.
But I know a lot that we’re collectors but went away from it. Then the Covid stay at home got them back into it.
Also now with the movies, it’ll overhype the price.
Also there are ppl on RUclips that does a “too 10 to buy right now” and magically those books listed were for sale at $500 but now at $700. I believe these ppl overhype these books as well. Especially if you have these books for sale. Never buy on the hype.
Bingo influencers are just trying to sell their own books
Correct on all fronts! I'm also in to collecting Pokemon and sports trading cards with my boys...the Pokemon market got hit hard early 2022, so they are about one year ahead of the comic boom regarding decline. One thing to note with Pokemon, it's on a rise in certain areas, like a rebound, so I can see the same happening to the comic market in about a year. It will just take a catalyst to make it happen. Regardless of speculation, just collect what you love and it won't hurt as much...
Last sentence nailed it!
When you were referring to characters that "stand the test of time", i thought you would mention a few of them. I advise newbies all the time you can't go wrong with silver age Spider Man and Batman books. S.T.T.O.T. 😊😊😊
I should have done that it’s hard to remember everything I want to say haha
@@Stickygoose you do good content. Always articulate, and 96% speak truth 😆... No one's perfect so I can't give you 100%
Kinda weird watching the biggest bulls of 2021 sell off huge chunks of their collection. Buy high sell low I guess
I’m assuming your referring to comics with bueller?
Even precious metals like gold swing enormously in value imagine comic books whose only value is the one determined by demand.
I can understand being pissed but huge drop in prices have to be taken into account, like for any other product, exactly like huge spikes albeit the latter are obviously preferred.
So for me it's not a question of trust but of how risky one wants to be with his investments.
P.s. I keep seeing people hanging slabbed comics on walls like painting: I don't know if those frames have some sort of protection but light is one of the worst enemies of comics; is that a concern of yours at all?
The books are in a room with no windows and the lights are on in that room for less than 10 hours a week…they are fine
They can recast kang... But this is a bigger problem for Marvel. They don't produce good movies, haven't since infinity war.
Yes and they probably will recast him
Not all the movies before Infinity War were hits either.
I think you're focused on the "short term" rather than the long term. If your Fantastic Four 52 actually dropped 50% and you were a true fan, you actually shouldn't be "mad". Were you planning on selling it soon? No? Then why worry? We both know that will always be an important book and will never "go down to 0 in value". You're focused on "timing the market" as opposed to time in the market. These are great investments because from a historical map, majority of these keys, grails, and older books have actually appreciated an average 9%-15% yearly. Yes, there's plenty of books that have lost their value since the Covid "boom", but there's plenty of books that have reached a new "floor" in relation to the boom. Prior to the Covid hit, you could acquire an ASM50 for under $300 for a nice copy and a Fantastic Four 48 in a (5.0) grade for under a thousand raw. You won't find that these days because the prices have adjusted. There will always be "ebbs and flows" for any collectible. If I kept every big book even after the Covid drop, I'd still be ahead with the market prices of today. I think you missed the floor on X-Men 4 as I believe people got their tax returns and have pushed a lot of big key grails back up in value in align with their incoming monies. Keep up the content and just take a breath. Things will be fine.
Namaste
love your videos mr goose keep em coming ❤
Thanks Steve!
One of the biggest issues is that the MCU totally sucks & has not delivered on any spec at all. Fans are basically telling Disney Marvel what to do to make their films succeed & it seems out of spite, they do the opposite. Too many activists at Disney that hate the fan base. Plain & simple.
New guardians movie is incredible
It isn't unpredictable at all. If you buy movie based spec books, they will go down and you will lose your money. That's the prediction...it's always right. Not one of these fomo books, whether it is silver age or modern has kept their initial value. That sounds totally predictable to me. If you 'love' a book, you're not one of the people running around trying to get it before the movie comes out.
People have only benefitted in the short term on these books. Knowing and observing this, I don't see anything unpredictable at all.
I set my limit of how much I’m willing to spend on a book if that book is beyond my limit I’m not buying it no matter how much I want it, set your limit be patient and the books you’re looking for will find you the deals will be there
I don’t have a lot of the major keys in my collection because of the movie speculation had priced me out for over a decade I was out of the hobby fir 16 years then in 2017 I came back only to find out how expensive this hobby has become.
This hobby is shit so I quit again and started building gundams lot more fun than dealing with greedy a holes in this industry
As others have said patience is key
Hard sometimes though vp
@@Stickygoose I agree buddy!
why does anyone care about anything that can be reprinted? why is anyone paying attention to boomer memorabilia at all? it's silly. but whatever collectors collect.
Only buy what you like. I don't care about keys unless I like them.
well said DM
I know with the first full carnage, I bought that when there was massive hype. but I did that, out of fear of it going up even more. But the movie wasn't horrible but seems like the carnage next movie isn't likely ;) so seems I over paid a wee bit, but yet he's still popular so I don't feel bad about losing about 100 bucks, but I collect amazing spiderman. But I'm so frustrated with the way people flock and buy stuff, like the first White Vision is a perfect example. personally I don't care about Vision, so I didn't want that book. in fact I had it and gave it away about 5 months before Wanda vision came out. because it was worth almost nothing. but I don't care since it still worth almost nothing to me ;) but seeing how much a next to worthless comic shot up so fast, then crashed again... most I've ever paid is 500 for a ASM 300 but I know that one isn't going to move down or up too much in the coming years. I did go back and buy other issues of Spider Man I needed for my run that had more of the symbiote story.. but again it's more of a before they jump to crazy prices, and even if they dropped what I paid for them is about the cost of the CGC grading services
Carnage is a perfect example a cool character and huge in comics but because movie wasn’t loved community says the book is worthless
nice wall collection
thanks mac
I have been collecting for around 20 years and the last comic I bought was right before the pandemic. As prices got silly I just walked away. The only way I would return to collecting is if prices return to pre boom levels. When you do the research on how much of this stuff is out there and its price history its hard to pay the silly prices these books have gone up to.
You were smart to do that
You nailed it. The actual supply is large and has become even larger with all these giant collections being found in estate sales and such.
@@uglyewok6715 Thats another concern I have these large collections seem to be coming up more frequently. As the baby boomers are in the height of retirement a lot of these books that have been hoarded are showing up more and more. For over 10 years census data on silver/bronze books has had a steady increase. Recently with the comic boom a few years ago there have been massive increases in copies added to the census.
It’s good if the new folks leave, you can buy their comics on the cheap
I don’t want to lose people that want to collect and love the hobby
@@Stickygoose probably not losing them, losing the speculators
So true if it is not for the love of the comic well, they are idiots thinking they are going to get rich quick.
How long have you been on RUclips talking about comics?
3 years this month!
Those pics 😂 😂😂 of nerds but you'll a cool dude I'm going start watching
appreciate that Im here to entertain
As a run collector I hope it crashes further. Might let me complete a few. Nothing I despise more in comics as movie speculation. The word "optioned" turns my stomach.
It is a bs way of causing a spike
I stick to golden age now. Mostly Captain Marvel, Superman, and World's Finest.
You are a smart man
In Short Yes.
But if you know about Stocks (what everyone say they do in 2020 😑)
Then you should know what to do
Your analyses look one sided. Any complaints when comics were going up ? I would like to see my comics go up. But believe me i bought more books this year than in the last five or even ten combined. To me this is nothing scary I enjoy the relative discounts and I have genuinely enjoyed obtaining a few keys I've been postponing to buy.
Really anything bought from that time period and held on to at this point has taken a huge hit. Sports cards, pokemon, magic, comics, even stock etc.. those are all down.
Magic the gathering seems to be more predictable in its price fluctuations
4:44 Yo???? 😂
You tryna hit?
All this is true and of course the economy is not doing great right now.
Should have mentioned that
What do you mean "after the crash"? The crash is just beginning. Wait till the summer - BARGAINS GALORE!
Fingers crossed
Insider knowledge
That was hilarious in your head wasn’t it
9 mins 7 seconds.... Sticky if it drops by 90% ,who cares ? Like all things it will recover and go far beyond the initial 700. So,r-e-l-a-x....

@StickyGoose Comics I also managed to get a 3 and 5th reprint. So now I need 2 and 4. After that I'm thinking of the first gwen stacy from asm just to have a bigger package to sell if I decide to sell in the future
@@goat2727ch just picked that ASM up last week
I came in late 2022 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have loads of keys at the fraction of the price of 2021.
I am a long term investor ❤. I have had some great gains and minor losses ex:
marvel spotlight 5 at 3k currently worth 2,800- those two hundred bucks hurts, I cannot imagine losing 60% value 😢
That book has crashed significantly
Your wall looks like you subscribe to "grail of the month club". Just kidding, you have some good stuff up there too. Listen, if you are buying for investment, stick with the staples ASM, Batman, X-men, etc. Silver or Golden in the highest grade you can afford. Kang? If you didn't see that one coming, I don't know what to say. Black Panther is cool and all, but even BP feels like hype driven collecting to me. If you are buying for "investment" stick with stuff that has always been in demand. If you are collecting for fun and enjoyment then buy whatever suits your fancy.
You are a little ray of sunshine
Regarding his wall..FOMO..maybe?.
It should be for joy..however when throwing down big money ,,I agree. It sucks to see an investment plumet
It’s joy until you put 4k bucks on the table
@@Stickygoose about two years ago I put down $500 for a raw star wars #1 and #2. I love my silver surfer #1 from the eighties that I bought for $36 far far far more than both my star wars #1 and #2. The more money I throw down on a book the more expectation I have on that book to perform and to at least retain it's value. Stops being fun. That's just me.
🤔 The only people who get hurt on a rollercoaster 🎢 are those who jump off… 😉
Hahaha now those are wise words!
Because the Kang actor sucks. Simple as that
Now namor is in trouble
All this slab bs is just that , bs.
