Lethal_Collector

This is an interesting point, along with what some have mentioned earlier about low to mid grade books for entry level collectors. I relate the comic value industry to the housing industry in a few similar ways. Entry level homes will typically always sell as more people look to get into home ownership. And, those that are home owners and want to upgrade have equity built up (and savings I'm sure) to upgrade their house. And looking back to the days where a house was $10,000, those days are long gone. Do I think the housing market can collapse? Sure, its possible, who knows, but people keep doing it anyway because the perceived risk is out-weighed by the expected appreciation. Whether that is inflation, cost of living, supply, demand, whatever. Overtime, house prices have gone up, yes there have been dips, crashes, spikes, that's the risk. I think comics behave in the same way, history can be an indicator of future success/failure. If someone believes a book to be at a great price, they'll probably snag it. If it's a super-mega-ultra-key, or whatever the cool kids call them these days, I think there will always be a demand for them, enough to offset the risk. It'd probably take a catastrophic economic failure for comic values to plummet, like another great depression. Again, sure, it could happen. So, back to your point about the insane market. Have we always thought the market was insane along the way, how many ceilings did we burst through over the years? We are dealing with collectibles and collectors, a recipe for record sales over and over, until it collapses. If that happens, yes, it would've been better to have cash-money in the bank, rather than losing X amount in comics. No risk it, no biscuit? Jerome

Awesome, good stuff fellas! Poor Mile High too. I think its proof Karma works Jerome

Which book or books (regardless of age, up to 5 lets say) would you buy that you think will yield the best results 25 years later, and why? Jerome

SOLD! Jerome

I subbed a book for a buddy of mine and he's got it listed on ebay. This was one of those hey man, you like comics can you see what I got instances. Turns out he had a great, raw BA12 literally under his bed (with a ton of junk of course). Anyway, check it out on fleabay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-Adventures-12-1992-CGC-9-6-NM-White-Pages-1st-Appearance-Harley-Quinn/183544705241?epid=85465166&hash=item2abc1df0d9:g:94sAAOSwzXJb8zxN:rk:26:pf:0 Let me know if you have any questions, thanks! Jerome

RIP Stan, I miss you already. I think I hear him and Ditko bickering about something..... Jerome

Once people get tired of the same old swag every year, they'll stop. I stopped once they brought in tons of swag and less and less comic dealers showed up. Jerome

Great update as always Jay! Jerome

Does it come with a Pog? No? No sell. Jerome

Awesome-sauce, thank you! Jerome

How about a reasonably priced book on ebay for a change? Link. Jerome

Savage! Jerome

Unless the slab is utterly destroyed to where it affects the grade, CGC will honor the previous grade. If it's so damaged that it does affect the grade, CGC will call you and inform you it needs to be re-graded and give you some options before proceeding. Also, as I know it, unless it's damaged so much that it'd be possible to pull a switcheroo on the signed book, CGC will honor the SS label during the reholder. HTH! Jerome

I only head of a German one, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear about a spanish one. Jerome

Adding free shipping and dropped the price of a few books. Jerome

Case closed! Jerome
