"These'll pay for my kid's college..."
NP_Gresham replied to Ablation Steve's topic in Comics General
If you took that money from the 90’s and bought blue chip stocks you would have done much better What is one’s time worth? All those nickle and dime profits take lots of time to accumulate How many times would one bag and rebag books in 25 years. And if someone tells me they only bagged and boarded once with those poly bags from then , we’ll I just don’t believe you. How many times did you move them, were they they ever in paid storage? And those books are only marginally worthwhile. How many speculation books never took off? I can’t believe there were no critters or humidity or some other environmental damage. Even smoke in the air can lose the white pages. Good luck selling a lot of those 90’s books with less than WP. How many of those books come back 9.6 or 9.4? You lose money on those. Take all the time invested in the upkeep of high grade drek and work a second job. Use that to buy some stocks in a Roth fund and you are going to do better 10 out of 10 times. I’ll take some shares of Apple for the win. The better strategy is to wait 5-10 years and let the market separate the wheat from the chaff. Buy up the books that have clearly stated to stand above the rest. Those 90’s speculators have so much garbage amongst the few winners. I would rather have bought up NM 98 and ASM 300 at $25-$50 a pop 5-10 years in than tie myself up in boxes of drek . -
What about pre-sale on modern variants where there has to be a certain number sold to place an order? What about supplies like Mylars and bags? What is ‘in the sellers possession’ mean anyways. Sometimes sellers have books in storage and they have to search for them or they are working off an inventory list. Not everyone can store comics where they live, they may be many miles away. Then there are sketches, signings, and custom artwork sold here, is this included? This is hard no for me. It is an unworkable rule

Just picked up ASM #194 from his latest sales thread. Book was tightly graded and was sent rocket fast with reams of protection. Jason is a very pleasant person to deal with, I always look forward to his sales threads! Jason always delivers the goods!

The point system is off. If I see a 9.0 as a 9.6 I should go straight to eBay, do not pass Go, do not collect $200 .., On the other hand if a big time dealer is seeing 7.5 in those 9.0 books, I go straight to dealers website and start buying ..,, -
