My first key Marvel purchase....

I do not usually collect silver age or bronze age marvel or key issues...but recently I figured there may be an investment quality to buying some of these. They seem fairly popular and sought after. So I was looking to get a Hulk 181. Ive always loved Hulk and who doesnt like Wolverine? right?

So i placed a high bid on a soon ending 8.0 and was out bid. Ill catch up to another copy later.

But I also placed a bid on an Amazing Spider-Man 129 and won the auction. Its an 8.0.

Im sure this would be an elementary purchase to some heavy collectors, but Im pretty happy with the purchase and have now developed an interest in buying more key books. What i can readily afford at least....

Ive heard people say from an investment stand point that the key Marvel issues in higher grade are a good investment more so than other comics just because of the sheer popularity rather than having a large collection of random books between 3.0 and 6.0

I know a large amount of collectors have big collections of high grade Marvel books.

Am I on the right track with this?

I usually collect EC horror and sci-fi and other misc. titles just because i love the golden age horror stuff.

So this is a whole new path of collecting....Im just curious as to where the market will be for some of these titles in the future...

Cheers
