    This is my feeling too drotto. I had an uncle who made his entire living off of selling antique gumball machines to a generation that grew up with them. Their nostalgia for the machines was so strong that he made a very good living off of turning those old gumball machines. He has since past, and that market has definitely peaked years ago imo. However, comics, The MCU / collectibles / the nostalgia for this genre I think still has legs. However, I’m watching my grandson as a possible signal to the shelf life of this market. The movies & tv shows are great marketing that if continued to be done well, should extend the self life of this collectible market especially in regards to my grandson’s generation. However, he wants everything digital. 😕 It will be interesting to see if he has a change in heart later in life. Lastly, digital coding of products on a blockchain may (just a thought here) be the next form of collecting for a digital generation like my grandson.

    Quick question for you veteran sellers; when you refer to slabs being overdone, ( and yes, comic book stores I’ve visited seem to have acquired multiple boxes of blue label slabs which just seemed to magically appear lately ) are you also referring to signature series slabs? Would you say the signature slabs in the BA & MA are overdone also or do they seem to better hold their value? Appreciate your input.
