  1. I'd assume that many of these copies are disappearing into collections for the foreseeable future, which should keep prices high. Not sure they can continue this wild upswing, but they'll likely stay strong compared to recent years, but who the heck really knows? It might feel bad to have not sold your copy, if you have one, when prices are really strong and then buy a new copy after they cool down. It might also feel bad to sell while they are strong, thinking no way they'll get stronger, then regret that very much in a few years once the X-Men are deep in the MCU. *shrug*
  2. a 6.5 sold on Ebay for 29 grand on the 12th of this month.
  3. You could go back to as recently as 2001 and still be crying in your soup. even later than that for many books, I bet.
  4. 3 bucks per book to press? Dang watta deal! You are probably better off paying the extra two bucks per book for pre-screen, as someone else already suggested. I don't think anyone serious about it wastes money pressing books that don't need it, no.
  5. i tell myself at the beginning of every year that "this is the year I really focus on one run or one goal" and it almost never works out. I just can't collect that way, ha. I have ADD and as a result am way too impulsive. I HAVE been able to limit my big runs to two: X-Men and Hulk. But I do pretty frequently buy mid grade filler in other runs like ASM, TTA etc. I did buckle down recently and saved up for my X-Men #1 and have made some big progress on the other early keys already this year, so maybe this is the year? I'd love to finish at least #1-10 this year. That would feel like I've accomplished something. I don't know what's going to happen with #4, but I'm hoping it cools now that Wandavision season one is over.
  6. Sometimes there actually is, but far far far more often there is nothing but kindling.
