Take per pm!

Where was the paper sourced from and what kind of tree did it come from? Did Stan Lee really steal the story and writing credirs from Kirby and Ditko?

Bump w/ price reductions

It's crazy to think that there were young men that read those books and then went and died in WW2 and never got to fully experience life. Nice books!

Take these

Well I learn about a new comic every day. Now you have competition the next time a bb 105 crops up at an auction house!

I will take cerebus 1 per pm

That is very likely true but in a previous post I mentioned the stocks bottomed out in 2008 and the MCU also started in 2008. I will let you draw your own conclusions from that. A post MCU comic market that might be leaking funds may not sustain a major economic downturn.

Spider man 300, which everyone was talking about before we took over the thread, is a perfect example. The 2016 average is at $1600. In September 2018 before the movie comes out you couldn't find a 9.8 for less than $2500. The 30 day average is at $1800. So in the context of books with movie speculation, the rule that "Books never appreciate when the movies come out, but rather when the speculation starts." holds true. That statement does not preclude spidey 300 from ever increasing in value prior to the movie speculation. The book has been on the market for 30+ years so that would be a factually incorrect statement. To keep it real simple, if a book jumps up in value %30-100, and a dealer tells you to buy this book now because they are making a movie, you've likely missed most of the growth and it might not be a great purchase.

That is literally not what I said at all and this is starting to get complex. I did not exclusively say that comics increase in value due to movies, that would be absurd. I said that when people look at speculating on books for future value, they often think that a movie coming out will make it more valuable. I can demonstrate mathematically that the majority of the value increse occurs before the movie is released, and often books lose value post-release. As a sidenote HOS 92 significantly heated up when Bernie and Len Wein both passed away (REST IN PEACE) in 2016 and there have also been JL:Dark movie speculations for the last several years with Guillermo del toro attached to it.

Ew a modern book and a newly introduced character to many marvel fans. Silver or bronze please.

Ok as a strong rule of thumb. I'll wait for you to give me a good example to the contrary. (I will take FF52 out of the discussion as an outlier) Look at Iron man 55 and for the future look at TOS 52 and it's pricing around 7.0-8.0 right now with a movie 2 years away. Maybe longer with delays.

Great question Kav! Stocks have tripled since 2008 and steadily grown without many long-term dips. Now get ready for it, what else started in 2008? The MCU with iron man 1. Big coincidence? So comic sales exploded when the stocks bottomed out and now are going for extraordinary sales when the stocks hit an all time high. Now, I believe there are a lot of retired people with big 401k's that own a lot of books and buy a lot of these golden age books. There are also a lot of wealthy people that just make big paychecks and stocks don't directly affect them, but stocks are a general indicator when the economy is hurting and the jobs market takes a dive. I will continue to put some of my money into comics but I would be particularly weary of the prices on BA keys like IH181 in high demand by "casuals" that also have a high supply. I also see a lot of unhealthy things with that book such as a 9.0/9.2's going for the same prices in the last month and a 9.4/9.6 going for the same prices. Either the book is undervalued or overvalued in one of those grades and I know what my opinion is, although who really knows?

Yep, it's funny until the day it actually is overpriced. The DOW is up almost 40% since two years ago and Disney conicidentally bought the Xmen back recently. Books never appreciate when the movies come out, but rather when the speculation starts. I have a record sale for a NM- Ironman 55, just look at the prices on that book currently. When the stocks start to falter and the market is soft, all these books go up for sale, and there are a lot of IH181's. All the 30-45 year old family men who are "new" collectors that had a few extra grand and bought a few key books, specifically IH181, will hock their books up on Ebay or comiclink when money gets tighter and they have to choose between getting their family nice stuff off Amazon, or buying a new car, or paying for college or keeping the book.
