i know you said one book, but technically this is: buy 15 individual CGC-graded pages of AF 15 @ ~ $1K each ... hold. Liquidate one at a time, each year, starting 10 years from now, over a 15-year period.
Go ahead, laugh.

I'm not sure if some of these books were ever opened or read.
The pages stuck together at the gripper holes.
That is heaven on Earth. The knowledge that a comic from the 1970s has never been opened.

Yes, based upon what I've been seeing in some of these recent auctions, it's quite clear to me that we have a rather bifurcated marketplace right now. Especially in relationship to the Overstreet Price Guide, where the so-called relatively common speculative hot BA and CA books reminds me of past decades where I used to dreamed that I might one day be able to sell my books at Overstreet guide valuations. And yet now on the other hand, I guess I still have to dream that I can buy GA books at Overstreet guide valuations (I so wish).
Perfect case in point would be this copy of the HTF Master Comics 27 with the classic Raboy "V For Victory" cover:
Sold for a rather stunning $15,600 or 12.5X condition guide value in yesterday's Harlan Ellison Auction when we now frequently see some once red hot movie/TV hype related BA and CA books able to sell only at huge discounts to condition guide value given the huge increases that Overstreet gave to some of these books the past couple of years.
Seems that the broader comic investment market is finally catching on to classic Raboy covers. Classic cover and notoriously tough in higher grade.

I firmly believe this was the main 'buster' of the comic boom. Phase 4/Bore killed a lot of interest in Marvels. If any book should be breaking records right now, it's FF4 -- and it's dropping, noticeably, with 10 days to go before Wakanda Forever releases. Can't say I'm surprised when I see what Marvel Studios did to Namor.

I completely agree with you. The next couple of years should provide some excellent buying opportunities on books that will look cheap in 5 to 10 years.
Especially higher and high grade SA books from the first part of the SA (1956 to 1965) and always-in-demand and tough GA books. I have seen some raw GA classic cover books fetching very high prices at auction. Bottom line is that high-quality books and HTF books will drive growth while the broader economy has slowed.

here's another record price- $3,922, way over the $3,100 gpa has on this book. white pages helped.
i was hoping i might get a deal on it, but not even close.
More evidence that quality books (i) hang tough during market headwinds and (ii) will be poised to shine when the broader economy improves.

I don't actually mind their cases, but CB*S's font and font size always bugged me. There's just too much dead space on their label and it looks weird.
The font size of their writer and artist notes and other issue information notes (e.g., "Classic cover", or first appearance information) is 8-point font, possibly smaller. It is astonishing that this has never been enlarged.

When did the Fantastic Four lose popularity?

I think when X-Men exploded in the late 70s/early 80s, FF was no longer that top-tier super-hero team for Marvel. Even with Byrne's epic run, everyone wanted X-Men, X-Men, X-Men. Byrne if anything propped it up and held it up as long as he could. After he left, it just declined further (slowly but surely). Avengers always had the benefit of rolling in new team members to keep things fresh. That's something FF never really could do, except on a very limited basis (e.g., She-Hulk).
