It may be an ad, but the back cover is the “first appearance” of Daisy Duck, I think…

They have enough quality books to not need to resort to such nickel and dime strategies

I meant like adding an auction listing to a watchlist like Heritage (and literally every other site,,,)

ComicLink would be so much better if they had a watchlist option...

It’s 14 books via FedEx Ground intl. to Collectors Comics in California

I've decided to send a small consignment of books to get auctioned off and was wondering if anyone can tell me how to fill out the customs form so the auction house doesn't get hit with customs charges since they aren't the buyers... It's my first time doing this... Search was no help.

What’s a pulp?

I’m actually heading the other way, putting a pause on GA comics and buying up rainbow prizm mojo foil 1/1 autographed relic flawless mega ultra rare cards… Dear lord what have I done?…

Lowest graded 😭 but also 3rd highest graded!

I kinda miss the days of ''how much did my net worth go up this sunday?''

“Good thing I buy what I love”?

Final verdict 9.0 WP. On it’s way back from CGC tomorrow. Thanks everybody!

Guess I was lucky, picked up 124 9.6 and 175 9.8 for far below last few copies

I don’t know man… I feel like the “9.8 or bust” mentality on these modern books is gonna be completely engrained in the psyche of younger buyers and the premiums will continue to widen the gap between 9.8 and everything else… “How much is that in a PSA 10?” is pretty much already the norm in modern sports & trading cards…

Viewing comics as an investment can be a problem, I, like many others, kept buying books in 20-21, some spec books, some SA, some GA. Almost all the spec books are down 70-80% from where I bought in. If I was a true investor I’d dollar cost average and keep buying those books in multiples… but why?… is Kamala Khan or Ironheart or whoever gonna go to 1000$ again anytime soon? Doubtful. I gambled and lost, cut your losses and move on. I guess it’s like buying an option when it comes to movies and tv shows. Either you have the book already and sell or need it and buy, each side hoping for opposite results post transaction… On the other hand, SA and GA are also down but I feel less bad about those purchases, and have been DCAing my way to higher grade books, took some losses some profits, put the money towards slightly better books in hopes of chasing good money (higher grade books) with bad money (books that sell at a loss). So far so good.

On that we can both agree

That’s where I disagree… a 9.6-9.8 SA key has a VERY limited pool of buyers I don’t see how that’ll affect prices on a 5.0 where there are 1000’s of potential buyers. There is a definite disconnect between the tippy top books and the stuff we mortals can afford. I’d be more inclined to believe the opposite, a high on a mid grade can more positively affect higher grades than the reverse.

All kidding aside, the people buying these books are not “us”: ham and eggers with mortgages working 9-5 and love comics. They’re either dealers/auction houses or stratospherically rich dudes/bros (who play by rules I can’t even imagine…), so good for them but tracking these books makes no sense to me. The health of the market is not the headliners, it’s how quickly you can move a bunch 100$-1000$ books at a decent price to get something “good”.

Let me know when the 100$ books make a comeback…

We'll see how prices evolve in 2023... everything I wanna buy keeps inflating and all the stuff I gotta sell to buy them are deflating!

And shipped today. I am done! Good luck to you guys! Now to sell everything and buy me 1-2 high end investment pieces!

Mine went to G/QC today

got so used to stuff taking over a year, but you're right, it's 3/14/22

Still stuck at GEI

Why not both?…
