C2E2: March 31st-April 2nd 2023 (Chicago, Illinois)
nDemik replied to AustinReece_GRRC's topic in Comic Events
Will we have another controversy like last year to make the event that much more entertaining? 🤷♂️ -
Thanks for the reply and 😂😂😂

I learned a lot this weekend at C2E2 from lot of old school dealers who were kind of enough to enlighten me and take their time to teach me about the comics and its history. I was there to purchase and spend money and funny thing is I’ve had more than one old school dealers who are fairly well known in this industry? (now this is my pure assumption since I’ve seen these dealers being mentioned on this board several times) these old knowledgeable gentleman all steered me away from ASM #1 and all directed me towards either FF1 or X-Men 1 over ASM #1. Their reasoning were fairly similar and they also crushed some key books that are hot now and actually prevented me from spending/wasting five figure plus on books which they believed were not worthy of the price tag and won’t hold its value (I was actually shocked to hear some of the remarks lol) Having said all this I still have a deal in line to pick up ASM #1 today so.. 😂

Quick question for all in here, how did this turn into Batman thread?

Friday was bare and crowd was not that heavy. Sat. Empty spaces on Friday were filled with vendors and much more foot traffic through out the show and I made few purchases and vendors were whom I spoke with were telling me it was a solid show thus far and I over heard one dealer speaking to another gentleman and he was stating how awful this show was but he had his ASM129 CGC 6.5 for $3150 (as an example) so i assume the price tag may have drove some people off. Lot of funkos everywhere and I mean a lot of funkos.

Just started collecting Three weeks ago
nDemik replied to nDemik's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
If you read that post you’ve noticed that I’ve never was brought finance until someone suggested that I would be offering a bankruptcy sale on my very first post in Hulk 8.0. I knew nothing about comics but I knew that book was sought after so I started with that particular book and was excited to share my entry into the collecting world. I was not aware that obtaining that book was against the process of collecting and someone with funds were not allowed to enter the comic world from the response of many lol. At the end of the day I’m still having a blast collecting and who cares if I upset people cause I obtained a book or two. -

Here’s my response to that is that we are all in a different financial situation and fortunately for me I’m not alternating my lifestyle to obtain these books and I’m actually overpaying for lot of stuff I’ve collected and I’m having fun and it’s funny to see other grown people pocket watch other peoples funds (Not saying you are by any means but the response I was getting somewhere else) it is what it is and so far I’ve collected lot of “Junk” to others that I’ve been adding cause I enjoyed the cover/story and so on and My brief experience thus far as been an entertaining one and I’m planning to collect some key issues as I go along. -
Is an X-Men 1 CGC 3.5 a Smart Buy at $10k?
nDemik replied to Hey Kids, Comics!'s topic in Comics General
That sucks and I’ve had a similar experience recently with a seller backing out at the last minute and I know the feeling. -

Not here but on a different platform. here I’ve received nothing but positive feedback and just browsing here I’ve gained a lot of info which I was completely oblivious until I’ve came here. Much respect to the board. -

So far I’ve been picking up mostly graded copies since I’m still a noob and still so much to learn about the hobby. I’ve been catching lot of “Hate” since I guess I’m not supposed to be adding key issues right off the bat and I guess to some I’m not appreciating the hobby by not trading and collecting my way up. It is what it is and I’m just enjoying my time collecting and I’m just here to learn and enjoy the hobby. -

Those are dope!

Added lot of stuff since I liked the cover and to most they are probably junk but at least this addition was not junk 😁

Are prices still climbing or have they eased up a bit???
nDemik replied to InfantTerrible's topic in Comics General
So should I wait to get the AF15 or add it now? 🤷♂️😁 -

nDemik replied to nDemik's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
I’m a noob and just grabbed few books in the first week after my little research and decided to start off by adding some key issues most collectors go after. Month in and I’ve added ton of junk far as value wise and I probably over paid for lot of stuff but as long as I’m having fun and enjoying the hobby that’s all it matters to me. -

Thanks for sharing your experience and kudos on the pics. Could be because I’m high as Ffcd but reading your report made me feel like I was there and now I really want to attend next year

I’m heavily invested in the market and there is zero upside or positive sentiments moving forward and idea of stimulus given out by the govt (Political moves - actually caring about the people 🤷♂️) could be an outlet for market to pump back up but that would cause hyperinflation. I’m a complete noob in the comic world and still pondering if this is the correct time to add the key issues or should I wait for the ball to drop and possibly see these comics down the road 10-15% cheaper or possibly more? Appreciate any insights from veteran collectors.
