    I’ve never bought a slabbed comic. It’s great hearing your perspective on the buying process.

    Like you I got it at the peak so it hurts seeing values go down. Luckily I got a pressable copy and got a small grade bump 3.0 to 3.5. Also it's a SS Stan Lee signature which makes this copy stand out. I have no idea how long I will keep the book. It's my personal grail. I have sold almost all of my graded books in the last 10 months but this is a keeper for the time being. It was my ultimate goal. I don't know if I will buy big books anymore, I think the money will be used for other things in my life. I will continue being a fan of the comics and movies but posters will do for my wall decoration. I will have some graded books but collect for the art and not the big investment books. Great video btw !

    AF #15 is the best comic you can get for many many reasons one of which being when it comes to long term investment this is the #1 comic for that.It is also the #1 Marvel comic and maybe even the #1 comic there is it for sure is the most talked about.With that really BIG sale of that high grade AF #15 it really helped out even the low grade ones as it brought even more attention to this AMAZING book.Great pick up buddy congrats on having the best comic in the world.Hope all is well your way take care and excelsior.

    • @SleepynComics

      Yes, the big sale helped this one. I'm sure it's gone up. So, I'm just glad I got it when I did. It's a big book and obviously it fun to have. But it really represents all of the hard work (from my entire life) to be able to get it. Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support.

      I picked it because of the presentation. I saw multiple 2.0 and 2.5s that had large chunks of the cover missing. In the .5 and 1.0 you had even half of the cover missing. This one was best looking and I feel like CBCS is catching up to CGC. I need to get a new CBCS case.

    This guy really thinks Amazing Fantasy #15 from 1962 is a RELATIVELY RARE COMIC ?? Relative to a new comic maybe but the fact is that there are MANY THOUSANDS of copies of Amazing Fantasy #15 in existence. Most are in the hands of collectors and investors and many are still in the hands of the people who bought them off the newsstand in 1962 when they were kids. It's actually VERY common, like all comics published after 1960 or so. VERY expensive, but very common ( compared to golden age comics ).
