Which one is worth more to me?

Later today one of the books I have been wanting for a seriously long time will be ending on eBay. I checked the going bid an hour before my shift ended and found that Daredevil #168 in a 9.8 is going for $504.00 with a half a day left to go. I would have placed a bid since I lost the piece of artwork but there is something else that I want.....and I think I want it more than this.

It will be another five days before h auction closes and I am currently the high bidder. I expect this to change within two days. At this time I will have to refrain from taking the bid back over until the last moments. Unlike eBay I will not be able to win but I hope my bid will be enough to give another person pause and humble bow out.

I have checked the book on the GPA, but it has been a while since this book sold in this caliber. I have an idea what i want to pay for it, which could be a lot more than it is worth but then again if I pay that much for it isn't it worth that amount. Could this be considered a paradox? If I win this it will be the last book of the year, provided one of the remaining New Mutants doesn't surface that I need.

If I lose that means I will have a bit more money in my account and do I squirrel that away for some other purchase or find some last minute thing to bid on. I still have to pay off Comics to Astonish for two more books, and my father for the small loan he gave me to insure my comics, and a few frames I want to get for some artwork (I love Evil Inc.) I will also have the full month of December to budget for the coming year my CGC collection. If anyone has any ideas I am all set to listen.

Thanks for Reading

PS. You still have 3 and half days to bid on Action Comics #1
