If you like to buy slabbed books for profit (IMO I call that investing not collecting) then that is fine. You are having fun doing that. Not to affend anyone (please don't take this personally), but I don't consider comic shop owners "collectors". They may be collectors on their own time but in the shop, they are running a business. Business is about profit. I don't think I could ever sell any of my books. I am sorry you feel like you have to mock me because of that. im not mocking you,i'm justing saying that what you are saying is a bit old don't you think? This "buy what you like and not for investment" type of advice is quite clitche'. don't you think?

Ever since I started collecting comics,I have heard this kind of story over and over again...buy what you like and not for the investment and Well,I like CGC slabbed scarce silver age in NM,I think Metropolis Comics has something like this on thier website...so why are they selling them for profit it,if they say collect to read and not for investment?

I still think resubmitting a book is pretty ballsy,I can see trying to get away with it if it's bronze or modern,But if you have a 9.2 X-men 1 that you swear up and down that it's a 9.4 and your thinking about resubmiting it then...that for me would be a few sleepless days until it came back..nights for most people...

it's called marketing

i read your about me page,I do own a copy of ASM 14 in 9.4,but the averge person and johnny doesn't have the cash to shell out that kind of dough for thier copy,and the only reson the want it is because the green goblin is in the movie.Spidey 2 will have another villian and that villian's 1st app. will be sought after and so on and so on.I think it's great that they are finally making these movies of comics,about time we get to see these heroes and villains in a 3D world.But as far as comics and movies mixed,well there is nothing you can do about it.But yes,it does motavate people to buy comics cause the movie is out,it helps the industry...would you like another dead industry? conventions are ghost towns like it used to be? is that how you want it? A dead industry is a boring industry.I left comics for a while till about 2 years ago.mid 90's sucked for comics.Maybe you liked it cause everything was cheap.But i don't think you should call someone an insufficiently_thoughtful_person because they liked the movie and went out and bought some comics.

Gee, if this stupid book i sold 6 months ago for 1100 now is selling over 2K,then that must mean my ASM 14 9.4 should sell for 20K then?
