If I find a opportunity to get in on a pump and dump absolutely. I wouldn't want to buy these to keep long term.

I would have sold them years ago. If I found one tomorrow I would sell it asap. You never know though. Maybe captain america leaves him his shield and he gets a disney plus show and the books double.

I think someone like me is going to get a Todd signature at a discount when you sell this book. Hopefully you didn't get it pressed.

I loved getting comics at a drug store. Seems like missed opportunity to keep or grow your base. If the cover looks the same I go with cheapest option. So prefer direct. Better yet it's restored. Qualified as well is even better. If it's a modern book give me the reprint. Hopefully the reprint is so close or in such demand I can sell it for hundreds and have nothing. Hate true believers though. Can't sell them and logo turns me off.

I loved comics for investment. Not so much anymore. I still have some I target but nothing like the last decade. Have some books I would like back but don't believe they will out produce other options. Increasing wealth is my favorite hobby so the comics will have to wait. Life is short so if you want them buy them. I will wait. Best case I find a time I have nowhere to put money or things get so bad people dump comics. Worst case I pay more for the books but with inflated dollars from better profits.

I have nothing on the future newsstand market. My guess is price ratios increase. I can care less if a book is more rare because of a barcode but glad many people will pay significantly more. I wish they did away with barcodes, prices, logos and every comic was virgin covers.

I never said it was movie goers buying on the movie news although I have met plenty of people who never bought a comic who were inspired to by the love of the movies. Seems like a even mixture of collectors and speculators. Haven't put any thought into why the books drop after the movie. I just take the fools money and wish them luck. My guess is that book is old news and they move on to the next thing so they can get it and show it off on social media. Like one kid gets a toy the others have to have one. I would say new buyers are coming from somewhere because you can only buy so many books and see them lose half their value after the movie so many times. Figure its a mix of actual new collectors who just hit the buy it now without doing any research on past history. People who need it to show it off. People who hear you can make money with comics who will buy it now and sell it for a profit once the movie comes out. We may be on the same page. I don't read things carefully unless i have to sign something and been trying to watch baseball and football at same time.

Would have to be blind not to see. As soon as the news got out about disney getting xmen and ff my books went up like 40 percent. How would someone miss that? If it wasn't for the mcu I would still have trash like last jedi, ego, god butcher, white vision can't remember. All i know is some rumor or trailer comes out and something I consider trash starts selling for real money. Like I said. The evidence is there but you refuse to accept it. No biggie.

I did sell. I sold everything. No better time in history to have sold. Sorry but not seeing the impact. Prices in general appear to be the same as 2019. Didn't see any impact in 2008. I am not saying they can't be impacted. Just havn't seen it yet.

I had all the big keys and they didn't do anything other than maybe keep up with inflation from the late 90s to MCU. Your books must have been special.

Did tales of suspense not go up with the 08 movie? Did prices of key avengers members not go up when Sam Jackson showed up in after credits? Did X-men and FF keys not increase when the news broke about Disney buying Fox? If that's not enough evidence for you then there will never be anything to convince you. Enjoy your life on our beautiful flat earth.

Surprised it didn't already but wouldn't surprise me. Went down after 1st movie and up again before the 2nd. Believe it went up again when Disney got the rights even though the fox movies were well received. I won't be buying any to get in on the huge profits but I can see a bump.

It's human nature. As a reptilian I don't have these desires. Happens everywhere, not a comics only thing.

I agree but not because of lack of interest. During the lockdown people realized why am I paying $20 for a ticket and even more for snacks and drink when I have a 80 inch screen and surround sound in my home. I think we are a minority. I couldn't finish the first episode of wanda. Made it through 2 of Falcon. Even using eternals as background noise I couldn't make it even half way. It's so bad I won't watch even an avengers movie if eternals are in it. I made it through Hawkeye but ot wasn't good. Was stunned Chi kept me entertained but no desire to watch it again. Strange and Widow was same. Seem every Thor movie multiple times. Could get halfway through new one. I will wait 5 years, get Disney plus for $1.99 or probably $4.99 buy then and binge watch everything in 2 weeks. Mando by far their best or only close to being good show. Just me though. Majority are loving this pile of .

Look at the prices before and after Disney got fox. Buyers didn't care about the past movies. People are loving the first meeting of Deadpool Wolverine right now ever since the news broke. I find the post endgame content to be terrible. But I have high standards and bore easily. When they stop making movies and shows I will know enough people have lost interest.

2020 2021 spike is irrelevant to me. I never seen it having legs. If prices drop below 2018 levels I will take notice. Did all these collectors just come in for 1 year and then all left. As well as veteran collectors leaving. With not enough new blood replacing them? Or did people take some of the money they were spending on comics and started traveling, shopping, eating out, going to concerts and sporting events etc as they opened up from being shut down? I feel it was the latter.

I am not buying anything back. I see better investment options. Even if I was a pure collector I would wait and see. I believe things are more likely to get worse than improve. Make profits elsewhere and buy comics then. *This is not financial advice. Only my personal opinion.*

I wouldn't feel good if my 401 k was tied to generic stocks. Plenty of opportunity for serious investors still.

Congratulations on being the worlds luckiest smartest greatest buyer of comics. The overstreet market reports from those years and gpa say different.

Not we. I knew that extreme price increase from the surplus of money from being locked down wasn't sustainable. Intelligent collectors didn't lose any value at all because they weren't buying. Bonus pro tip. Don't buy the book before the movie. Also seems those values went down before the recession. If we are even in a recession. Didn't they try to change it and spin it so we aren't.

People have been asking those concerns for the last 12 years. Other questions to ask are how many kids who watched these movies and shows will start buying books when they get jobs? How many of them will get into comics for investment? I believe more people come into hobby than are leaving it.

You can go to any year in the history of this forum and find numerous posts saying the same thing. I agree one day the numbers will fall. What I need is the date. The year or even the decade will work.

Would love to hear about this actual market data. I nor anyone I know have ever seen a recession drop the price in comics. I remember dealers in 2008 2009 being pleasantly surprised they had their best year ever. Only drop of any I have ever seen was the month or two in 2020 with pandemic panic sell offs.

I am in the same boat pretty much. Been selling for a decade. Movie bumps. Disney buying Fox. The health crisis bump really set me off though. I'm not going to package $5 or $20 books. It's a struggle to sell major keys. I like my play time too much. Probably just let them take up space. Read a few each year. Some have some nice covers.

I demand top dollar so not going to get 50 to 75 percent for my keys and let them take the rest for free. I know because that's how I got most my books. I would buy a collection just to get the nyx or blue marvel or whatever for $50 or $100 and take home every issue of Deadpool and Harley Quinn ever made. I sold the keys and collectible runs. I would like to just buy silver and bronze collections but I can't help myself. Buying the moderns is a good move. Storing them after I process them not so much. One day I will run out of storage and have to deal with them.
