I was curious about them. Might go watch for a while.

Ya did pick up a FF49 6.5, not a great wrap which annoys me but got it 540 with BP, so under 600 shipped with GPA over 700.  Plus in FL I can take sales tax off my taxes (I get to itemize)

Well, looks like HA is hammering way lower across the board.  ASM #14 6.5 closed at 1740 with BP included, GPA is 2500.

Sold a high grade GSX 1 to Anthony.  He followed up his purchase quickly and paid right away, no issues what-so-ever.  Would not hesitate on selling another book to him.

Okay this is a little lower than I was shooting for grade wise but now I'll have a few thousand dollars to spend on other stuff.  

Could not pass it up at this price point.

This book is on fire right now. So many people want much more than GPA.  A dealer wanted $5k for a 2.0...

It took a while but I finally scored a nice copy for less than GPA and no chipping either.  Thankfully there are some people out there who will help you out.  Loving the quality of this 4.0  too.  

So if you’re looking, have patience!

Thats a really nice looking 4.0!

Ya, I have two friends that are trying to get a T-206 set (minus Wagner and Plank) and they've collected/sold/bought a lot of graded cards.  Both are disenchanted with the whole hobby now, I know they each are getting refunds from a site that was known to alter their cards, one got over 4k back the other over 8k and they said they have more.  It's a really scary thing.

I agree it's a good investment strategy to have investments you can readily sell.  A single GA or SA significant key is far more liquid than thousands of lesser SA or BA books.  

But, once you implement that "investment strategy," I think you are no longer really a comic collector.  You're just an investor, like Parrino who was mentioned up thread, and your enjoyment of the books will be limited to investment return.  Displaying the books would likely be a bad idea due to fading and paper deterioration, far safer to put them in a climate controlled safety deposit box.

 

I don't think this is really true.  I personally look at it as both.  If you act like just a collector then you will tend to pull the trigger on a book at all costs or regardless (or less regard) of the price, thinking of it as an investment helps me from splurging on stuff that I think is cool at the moment but doesn't really make financial sense.  On the other hand, I also like to get books that I think are cool for my own reasons but, like stocks, I need to have a reason why I think it would hold its value or go up outside of a market crash.  So, so far with collecting I've racked up X-men 1, Avengers 1, multiple FF48, multiple MS5, GSX1, FF52, ASM4, ASM50 so on and so forth.  I like all these books and can justify why I think each have value, which if I was collecting a run there would be multiple issues that the only justification would be to complete a run.  Its like collecting baseball cards of your favorite player's rookie cards.  Just because you don't want to finish a set of a particular year doesn't mean you don't enjoy the hobby and are only looking for money, means you can like those rookie cards of comic heroes and villains.  For me, this is just something where I can put a little bit of my extra money into instead of dumping it all into stocks and only getting to see numbers in green or red without ever getting to see or physically own it.
