This is exactly what I do and have been doing. The money I have is burning a hole in my pocket & I totally get that itch to buy something. I just have to recognize this and be stronger -

Progression of Comic Art Buying Question(s)
brownies8701 replied to brownies8701's topic in Original Comic Art
Thanks for your feedback and you are right, it’s a total block. I start getting the fever looking at so many pages I can afford & then I just buy one. i do buy about 4-6 pages a year. So to your point, I save up & buy maybe 2-3 pages a year. -

Progression of Comic Art Buying Question(s)
brownies8701 replied to brownies8701's topic in Original Comic Art
Thank you for this. I definitely try to hold out, but i get that itch to buy something & then eventually do what is most comfortable & buy a $500ish page -
So I have been collecting comic art for only about 4 years and I love it! However, there are times where I don't love it...prices too high, a page I really liked sold, ridiculously high prices on recent flipped pages, etc. I have been mainly buying published pages around $500 and I have been enjoying the ones I have purchased. However, I feel like I want to take the next step and buy more expensive pages and/or pages from more well known artists. Ultimately, I am conflicted...I like & enjoy the pages I buy, but is my desire to want better quality/more expensive pages a true natural progression in this hobby? I'm not talking big dollars...$1K to $2K. AND In your opinion, is it better to buy pages (most likely more expensive) from more popular artists with maybe less action/less main characters or cheaper pages with better action/main characters? I'm looking to keep all pages I have & not sell them as an investment fyi. I know and have read "buy what you like" and really have adopted that philosophy, but I am curious your opinion what your progression was/is... Thanks for your input/feedback

Congrats!

Invest 1k or more on a raw book, is it a thing?

@themlh1138 - I have noticed the same thing. Curious, what IPhone do you have? I have a new 15 Pro & am wondering if there is a file size max on photos when posting pics
