    One thing going against comic books is... volume... sure you can take a $3 dollar book from Wednesday warrioring and flip it when it's a $20 book (500% return).. but how many books do you have to ship in order to make your first $100 dollar in profit? Factoring not just the cost of the book but shipping cost, fees and also your time... it's a lot of work to make few dollars on books... and also consider that when you buy a book you're taking a chance that the book could also go cold... (i.e. just like stocks you can't always pick winners) With slabs I can see where it can work because if you have the ability to spot and buy ungraded books raw and you know in some cases.. you can buy an ungraded book for less than 1/10th of the cost of a 9.8 CGC slab then you can make some decent money... Investing is just that.. you go where the highest chance of profit is... (my brother turned 8k investment into 55k in two months on crypto)... diversifying is always the safe bet...

    I have the same thing going on with a slab I bought on eBay. It's for a thicker book ASM 365. The thing that makes me suspicious though is that I found what looks like pet hair inside the case. The certification number checks out though. T
