The books in question here sold for $9,000 each.....that's ALOT of $$$ for a comic book. If being intellectually honest with yourself ( not YOUR self...oneself ), it would be foolish to choose simply what you like in this price range, without thoughts of "down the road" consequences. My comments above were not made out of greed...they were based on what I would do if this was a "real life" decision I was making. When spending $75 on a comic book, you can 100% focus on strictly what you like.....when it becomes $9,000 spent, the investment / future outlook side must be dealt with, as every book that I own and everyone on these Boards owns will one day be sold, traded, or passed down....you can't take 'em with you! You don't want pay for a USDA Prime steak, and end up with a moldy slither of grissle !
