Do you buy more than 1 copy of a certain issue/s of modern book/s, hoping that someday the price would be higher than the cover price or more?

No.

Nothing off the stands is better than 9.4 anyways.

[GotToHaveComics]

You mean.... you only bought one copy of the Batman run by Lee/Loeb?

im guilty of getting a couple of the Batman ones plus the first app of Venon in Ultimate Spider-man

[GotToHaveComics]

Me too! I have a couple of USM 33 ( love the cover art).

A couple of USM's, a couple of Daredevils, a couple of Batmans.

I bought two copies of Batman 608 for some dumb reason. That's the only modern book I've bought two of in a long, long time.

Interesting... I, too, purchased two copies of Batman #608 but only because I didn't know it was a reprint when I saw it in the comic shop. Then I started buying them from the shop since Westfield comes in only twice a month.. so I've ended up with basically two sets.

As a fan of the Signature Series books, I pick up multiples in hopes that I can get them signed and then graded.

I picked up two copies of the Batman #612 (2nd print) at 40% off cover price back in July. Only reason was that I was planning to trade them in for a first print since the stores were already sold out of them at the time.

 

Now the stores have the first print in as a back issue, except none of them wants to give me any trade value for the 2nd print even though they don't have any in the shop. Their line is that new books don't carrry any value in the long run and they don't buy back modern books since they may not be able to resell them once the fad dies out.

 

Just glad that most of my serious collection is in older whereby dealers are willing to pay real money (even over guide) for them.

i usually do not buy to many new comics but when i saw the cover to hulk#60 i bought 3 of them.that is one of the best hulk covers i have seen in a long time

[GotToHaveComics]

I agree. That is an awesome cover art!!

[mitol]

Another nice cover I recommend is Fantastic Four vol3 #67.

[GotToHaveComics]

Oh yes!! I have 5 copies of this issue.

I had a couple of copies signed by Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo at Chicago. Hoping for a high-grade Signature Series.
