Sorry to hear this happened to you. Hope they are all returned to you soon. I will definitely keep an eye out for these books.

What we also may need to factor in is the nostalgia factor of the next generation.  They have shown that people in their 30 to 40 start to get nostalgia for what they grew up on as kids. So their is about a 20 to 30 year cycle where things get hit by a renewed pupularity. So all these kids that grew up on the MCU have about 10 to 15 years till they hit the age where they start longing for and collecting what they loved as a kid.  The MCU for many should be part of that. That could certainly drive prices.

 

 

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.

They are much more valuable over all. Depending on the artist/writer/actor you get some are very scarce and valuable.
Just keep in mind its a small market as well. A very lucrative market but just like slabs a small part of the market. The
only problem recently is grading companies know that as well. McFarlane's signature I am sure has taken a hit after his signings. 

Great info. Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.

No pop ups or risky ads, etc

This is cool! 😎 Thanks for sharing. 

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.
