It is SO simple, most people just won't believe how simple it is!
Go into any comic book store and you'll see bins and bins of books on sale for a dollar each. Every single comic book store in the country has boxes and boxes of books for a dollar each. This proves the fact that dollar books sell because nobody would continue to restock inventory at that price if they never sell.
I mean like, does Walmart have aisles and aisles of buggy whips and shoe horns? No, of course not. Why not? Answer: because nobody buys that.
Why do comic book stores have so many bins of $1 books? Obviously because that's what people buy!
So - heres what you do:
1. Buy a big comic book collection, the bigger the better, like 100 long boxes minimum, at an average cost of 20 cents per book. The bigger the collection the lower the price per book, that's the way it works.
2. Now take all the books that you bought for $0.20 each and sell them for a dollar each.
3. Profit!!!
You're welcome.
See ya' round the country club!
I'll quote from this again because it's making me laugh. As a singular object money has no value unless it is spent so standing alone it is worthless. No ody is going to frame a dollar bill, because nobody is going to stare at it above the mantle piece at the dinner table, but they would stare at a van gogh, because it has value far beyond the reaches of a superficial mind, that's why the only people who made money off of penny stocks were the stock brokers not the who bought the stocks. I would rather put an Albuquerque variant thanos thirteen on my mantle piece than any dollar comic you can think of, why? Because the artistic endeavor into producing that masterpiece stretches far beyond an issue of turok 27.
Adam Smith said it best, the true value if something is how much the buyer is willing to pay for it.
I once began the batman knights quest but quickly grew bored of it because it holds no long term value and I quickly returned to buying comics of value on the ascension.

Uh that sounds like a contradiction. Generally people would be sold out of things that sell.

Like someone mention buying CGC its for sure grade and currently under grading by CGC. Buying raw you run into sellers over grading and I have learn that the hard way couple times. I can always resell faster slab.
only thing that worries me its CGC saying when you summit a book for reholder they will actually regrade book and will down graded if needed?. old labels are subject to be down graded.
Thank you guys😊😎
I talked with one if the dealers I work with on ebay, he said both thanos and spawn are bad investments. I'm conflicted though, it's kind of like new mutants 98, its value drops all the time, but it's the first appearance of deadpool. And how come punisher cant gain no momentum? Except fa in amazing spiderman? Even xfactor 6 is dirt cheap and I thought apocalypse was a great movie. And why is NYX 3 so valuable, that Logan movie stunk!
The only way death of robin will increase is if joker killa him in the upcoming joker movie, and the only way for that to happen is if they introduce him in the next justice league. All these different factors come into play, its causing my brain to🤯
Will silver sable and black cat prices moonshot with the upcoming black and silver movie or will raiders fans get all confused?
What about eternals or shang chi, and why is marvel point zero the fa of sam nova, who is a man called nova than. And can gambit catch steam with fa in uncanny x men?
I spend money on comics for two reasons cause its nostalgic and I like too. I have three copies of xforce 11 because I like domino. 2 copies of AMS 361 cause I like too. I balance needs and wants effectively besides I just had a triple double from tim Hortons I'm a little zuked

I have a chance at 2 comics I'm looking at,now these prices are canadian,take in mind 500 for thanks 13 and 200 for spawn 1 both cgc 9.8.
Any opinion before my girlfriend throttles me?

New members join the CGC boards everyday, but some just lurk around without saying too much. The point of this thread is to give a heartfelt welcoming, and encourage our new boardies to introduce themselves and say hi.
Hopefully, with your time spent here, you will learn some things, make some friends, and ultimately, enjoy yourselves. (thumbs u
I'll start. I'm Andy. I love DC war comics, but have branched out into every which direction you can think of. Right now, I'm right into Golden Age books and classic covers.
Don't be afraid to ask any questions. That's how you're going to learn.
We do, however, have a search engine, and some people may end up asking you to use it. To save yourself a potential smidgen of ridicule, you could consider trying that first. 
So, without taking up any more of your valuable time, I'll step back from the podium and pass the microphone to you.
Welcome to the boards, my friends! Thanks,
I'm new. I love talking comics and getting advice and talking about recent purchases hard to find a place as in depth as here

How come dealers have decided to grade their own comics and sell them for the same price raw as an actually CGC comic graded by actual professionals? Take edge of the spider verse 2 for example an upgraded copy with an opinion asterisk next to it sells for the same price as a 9.6 or even s 9.8

I have yet to delve into anything pre 1980. My most valuable comic is probably amazing sm 361 9.8,hoping it increases exponentially after the next venom movie. Wanting to invest this weekend in some comics over the past ten years,any recommends?
-
I bought the comic a month ago from a guy in British Columbia for 575 canadian. I'm doing okay though with investing, I scored an x force 11 9.8 at auction for 80 canadian. Just wondering if the investment is profitable because I do notice amazing 300 has decreased in value and do has new mutants 98.
-
Lol!
I'm from Canada and import and shipping charges are factored in as well. I researched it for 3 weeks and the best I found not auctioned was 575 canadian. Kinda nervous about buying from the states just yet
-
Is it better to buy raw and send it to cgc or already graded? The reason I ask is there is a comic show this weekend in my home town. I want to get Thanos 13 and New Mutants 98.
-
How much do you think the value would increase?

I stand corrected

What is the appropriate price to pay for amazing spiderman 361 9.8 cgc and do you think 600 is the ceiling?

You enjoyed a movie that totally contradicted the x men storyline versus a movie where x men battled their greatest nemesis, I'm sure you will enjoy the first venom versus the sequel because Riot was such a huge character in the comics. The only problem with apocalypse was dark Phoenix, we all know what happens to Jean grey.
The Logan movie was not good. I don't need box office success to tell me if something is good or not.
