That’s facts. That’s my mentality. Any age comic today in 30 years from now will be worth more. I plan on stacking my collections and do some hustling here and there. I’m definitely not trying to get rich, if I get lucky that’s different. Haha

You don’t know that 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m grateful for your reply. Very helpful. I will take this into consideration. I’m a picky buyer, my buddy is the one who wants to buy everything under the sun haha. To be honest, I picked up the giant size super-star #1 for $30 maybe less, the local stores give big discounts. The condition in my eyes is clearly over a 9... I see no visible wear or damage on it. I’m new so of course I would grade it the most optimistic so I’m hoping to get it back as a 9.6 or above. As far as my #1 black lightnings I picked up, got em both for $10 a piece. Again, no visible wear or damage. I would take pictures but they are in plastic and don’t want to touch them. But to clarify, I’m not trying to get rich... if I buy something for $10-30, not including the grade cost and shipping blah blah blah, now and in 10-15 years can sell it for $20-60 that’s awesome to me anything more than that is a bonus. And in understanding that I am plan on traveling around with my collection after a few years of collecting and hustling that way too so I can’t cut out the auctions and just speak to real people who are fans of what I have. I have a few plans I went to college for business so I’m not completely dumb but anything new is a challenge at first.

True, anything that makes money requires work... just depends on how much work we willing to do. I’m currently in Ohio, lots of old collectibles here. Thanks for the luck. I wish you the same with whatever you having going as well! Thank you for your time!

No slab... got to get it graded. Also, please take no offense when I said nerds lmao I’m a nerd. But he came at me with disrespect so when I gave him the disrespect back he cried and got butt-hurt. It’s all good. I’m out here making money, ain’t sweating nothing

Thank you!!!!!!

Thank you!!!

Thank you!

I really appreciate the advice. It makes sense. I understand the challenge of finding someone to buy what I have, and trust me I have time haha. I’m retired at 33, I’m a hustler. My plans are not just simply buying and selling at a higher price. Besides trying to do the quick flips, I actually do want to invest and maybe open up a comic store 15-20 years from now. So I’m definitely not focusing my efforts on the quick money. I want comics to be an addition to my retirement income. I have other plans for additional income too. Just trying to get into the comics before it’s too late haha

I really appreciate it. That’s crazy you said black lightning #1 - just picked up two of them in awesome condition. 😍 regard the giant-size, it was giant size superstars... I messed up the title. But good news, it’s still worth a lot more than I paid for it. I understand there is long-term investments and short-term money flippers. Like you said, one day at a time and I’ll learn. But ya, retired army combat vet, every month I’ll be spending thousands to get my collection up. Definitely looking forward to going to auctions and comic events. Thank you!!

Never mind bro. Someone helped me

Thanks!

Invest, trade, whatever you nerds call it, I’m getting it

I have a 9.8 giant size fantastic four #1 - you can’t find it on the internet, so make my own price?

Google 🤷🏻‍♂️ I research a lot. Especially about new markets that I enter.

I’m a retired US Army Combat veteran. Ready to dip my toes into the comic investing/trading world. Let’s do this. ❤️

I just started researching about investing in comics. I’m very interested in entering the market and competing. So far I learned about reading barcodes, cgc grading, and a couple other things... so my question right now and today is, regarding CGC... should i grade any comics that I believe will be worth something in the future, or how specific exactly should I be with submitting my comics in to be graded. For example: I picked up a nice set of 1-11 black lightning 1970’s... should I submit the entire volume to be graded or maybe just 1-3? ALSO what if you don’t know the value of a comic, can you submit anyways and CGc will let me know which tier it is? any advice or tips about ANYTHING with investing in comics would be grately appreciated! I’m serious about investing & trading comics. Not a whole lot of money to start with but about every month I’ll be able to get a good bit. One brick a day makes a wall later. Let’s go ❤️
