seems like every one else is on there second visit but him and there is still a spot of the signature wall reserved for him

not a matter of if, but when

It's her fault that I was raised this way. 

did she sell all your comic books 

don't you people have mothers that are missing your company?!

Avengers 181 is such a beautiful cover 

so $10 increase from last time

Not a great experience! I've been trying for over a day to submit books for the first time and I keep getting this error. I just got 65 books back Sunday from cleaning & pressing and now can't get through the submission process.

 

 

try using this .....

doesn't everyone re-slab all their books anyway when CGC comes out with a new case design?

so AF15 5.0 now and 9.8 later?

Was there any White Tiger movie appearance announcement recently?

does there have to be?

there is a MCU martial arts movie coming soon (Shang-Chi) .... isn’t that enough correlation for “you never know” speculators?!

I noticed a bunch of X-Men 161 selling today so I checked KC and it just says the book is selling today but no reason at all.  Any idea what could prompt a surge in this book since I don't see anything anywhere?

here you go 

don't let it ever be said youtube "influencers" don't have an effect (good or bad) on the market

The CGC website says that their yellow window bags are REQUIRED for a signing.  I placed an order for a shipping kit that includes window bags 2 weeks ago.  I have not even recevied a shipment notification that my order has been sent out.  I a concerned that I will miss out on the Jim Shooter signing event whose deadline for receipt of the books in 5/15.  Anyone ever submit a book to be signed that was NOT in a CGC yellow window bag and if so, what did you do?  Thanks!

actually, the website says the following which is not exactly the same as what you posted

“Window bags are a necessity when getting your comic book signed by an artist and CGC requires them for all of our hosted private signings.”

such a sweet cover

Growing up in the 70s I had a lot of hobbies, but only comic book collecting followed me into adulthood, and it's been just in the last five years or so that I started getting seriously into it. I'm spending more money and time on it than ever, and I genuinely enjoy collecting. But sometimes I feel like I'm lacking a strategy or objective.

I have some comics worth thousands or hundreds, but most are nowhere near that. Lately, I've been hunting for cheap copies of sought-after Silver and Bronze issues that are on the edge of VG/F, and giving them a C&P to goose up the grade by .5 or 1. It can be fun and takes the hobby beyond just acquiring stuff. However, I find myself wondering, what's my goal? I've never sold a comic book, and have no plans to right now. So why then should I care about finding under-valued items and making them worth more?

 

Probably sounds like I'm overthinking what should be just an enjoyable pastime. But I'm genuinely curious how other collectors go about it. Do you focus on completing a series? Do you buy only comics of a certain grade or higher? And are you in it as an investment, just to have fun, or both? Any words of wisdom welcome.

I think your current collecting style is just fine

I know that #49 is Polaris' first appearance, but this cover does it for me.  For me, this cover makes #50 more valuable than #49. 

I would argue that the redesign of the X-Men logo on ish #50 is more important than either Polaris appearance

ebay completed sales need to be taken with a grain of salt in part because grading can vary so wildly. 

I still haven’t heard a better alternative answer, chime in if you have one 

I never said it was perfect and wouldn’t take some work and common sense to decipher the data/results

Now that CGC is grading sports cards, is there any chance we'll see the Signature Series expand to that department?  

CGC is not grading sports cards (yet)
