    Is 500 copies of the same comic obsessive? Or is it taking a long term look at an investment? You be the judge. I pre-ordered 50 copies of X-Force 1 when it first came out in 1991 from my LCS. Even the owner asked me if I was sure? Yup. I've been a Rob Liefeld fan from the beginning. With it being a # 1, if figured it would be a safe bet. Little did I know Marvel would sell 7,000,000? and I would have to wait 30 years for them to be worth anything. What? How did I get from 50 copies to 500? Slowly but surely. In the last 7 years, I would pick up multiple lots on E-Bay for a song. I recently sold 10 sealed copies of 1 with the Deadpool card for $35.00 each. $350.00 in one night on insta. I started with something that I liked, waited a quick 30 years and ta-da! This is the tale of the comic I own the most of. Pretty crazy, hunh?
