Howdy,
Just felt like starting a post of open discussion. I am not new to collecting but newer to collecting PCH. I started with Atlas Jims, then branched out to other Atlas and now a few CSS. A LB Cole here, working on another there. I felt the horror books are super cool and the art and stories are amazing, but yet I feel like alot of collectors are losing steam on PCH. I see boardies throw them up and they sit for awhile. I see auctions and the books arent commanding what I thought they were and I know some dealers are trading down in value for silver marvel keys because thats what people want. I feel like I even seen some PCH owners getting rid of their books at cost.
Anyone have thoughts on this? Is PCH dying? Is it soon to be like westerns and war books, were there is only a handful of niche collectors and most of the books are extremely cold? Many of those books are still relatively affordable. I hesitate to put 400 in a PCH book when a 400 marvel silver first appearance seems to only go up. I know some people say its because of the movies, but Avengers Endgame was the last movie and there is a two year lul of no MCU, so I dont think people can point to that.
I just thought I would open a dialogue and let dealers, PCH collectors, and investors chime in. I appreciate you all and can't wait to see the comments.
