I've been eyeing that one a bit, as well as ASM 6 since they are both recognized characters or well known.- 133 replies

Best Silver Age Long Term Investments (On a Budget)
TheSSurfer replied to TheSSurfer's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
Well, for those starting out, such as myself, I think that's pretty decent for 1 comic book, for a long term investment that is. Everyone has different thoughts on what is expensive or what they can afford. At this time that's what I can get so trying to get thoughts from those experienced or that have been collecting awhile that might know which comics fit the criteria posted.- 133 replies

Best Silver Age Long Term Investments (On a Budget) I know most people collect comics for art, stories, or for other reasons. Personally, I like the art and spending money on something that not only do I like the history/ story behind, but something that will only gain value with time. What are some good silver age comics that you think would be good to invest in for long term? Say you had $800 limit, which book or books for $800 each would you get and hold onto for 10-15 years? Has it shown previous gains each year before this one?

Toxin First Appearance Discussion
TheSSurfer replied to TheSSurfer's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
Yeah I agree. If Carnage and Venom have the correct appearances or comics that represent it, why not Toxin too? -

It's only gonna go higher too. It's a smart investment, that's why I buy my comics besides for the artwork and stories with it. AF15, Hulk 1, FF4 1, and others with big characters will always have a price tag but you can expect them to go up with time as they always have and will continue to. If I had the money I'd for sure have JIM 83, or AF15 and keep for 20 years then sell because each year people lose comics like that to floods or house fires. Once they're gone, they're gone, and so is the history with them.

Toxin First Appearance Discussion
TheSSurfer replied to TheSSurfer's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
All it says on the CGC label is Black Cat Appearance nothing about First Toxin App. -
Yeah for sure man, I've just always thought Spider-Man is best place to put your money because a lot of people know his enemies compared to other characters you know? Also I just see how each year AF15 gets higher and higher for the lesser grades almost making impossible to get without dropping 5k and that's for a LOW grade. It's only matter of time until the 1-10 or 1-20 series of amazing Spider-Man series gets there, and that's where your money needs to go if looking to make money back. As well as have cool first apps too.

Amazing Spider-Man Collecting Thread!
TheSSurfer replied to Point Five's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
Awesome thanks man! -
Thanks a lot for the links! Any sites that sell specifically Marvel, or only grails such as JIM 83?
-
I say eBay is not because when they sell for OBO the prices they may be asking, may not be accurate as some tend to over pay regardless of what GPA may say because the seller feels it is worth more, or needs to make the money back for that Stan ales signature, when the book costs less than that.
-
Yeah I mean there's some variants I like, for example the black and white venom variants for the new Venom series. However, I like to spend money where I know I will make it back and then some or use to invest. Just trying to get everyone's take on whether it's a smart move to get them or not.

I'm still new to collecting, but growing up, I've always liked Spider-Man. I just liked the movies, and playing the games on my PlayStation. Just a cool character and always thought his villains were very interesting. For the grades of these comics I get, kinda depends on the age. As the comics are older such as Silver Age I try to get highest, but also don't try to break the bank, where as if it's modern I don't get below a 9.8. I just recently bought my first early Spider-Man book, ASM 20 at 6.5 and I am so excited just because it's not only piece of history but always thought Scorpion was cool. As for deciding which book to go after next, I keep lookout for all of them i am interested, specifically villain first apps. Currently I am watching for ASM 6(Lizard App), ASM 13(Mysterio App), ASM 14(Green Goblin App) and Venom vs Carnage 2, and 3(first Toxin app). Now I obviously go for the older ones first because with time they only raise in value, but if I see new comic I can get for steal such as CvV for cheap at 9.8 I'll mark off the list. The key is to stay focused and don't let other things blind you from what you really want. Even though i might can't afford ASM 6 at 7.0 I am just as happy with 3.0-4.0 with oW pages. It's all about being happy and finding what characters you've always been infatuated with.

Hello all, what's a good price to pay for 1.0-2.0 complete JIM 83? Just wondering as eBay isn't very accurate.
