What is the most money you can imagine yourself spending on a single comic?

[akaSteveRogers]

the most I spent on a book is $1200. A slabbed NM copy of JIM 114. OWP, I think... sweet book(Thx Roy!). Can't see myself EVER going that high again. well, maybe only for a FF 52.

Depends on the book

[J.Jacobs-migration]

At some point I will have to throw down a ton of money to go all the way back into Amazing Spider-man but I know it will hurt when I do so. SO I could only see spending 25K but I will never have that much to spend on just a comic. The most I've spent is $120 at the moment

[whisp]

10 cents

 

But you only buy Moon Knight. So you should have some change coming back

 

 

 

blasphemy

[jools&jim]

These days...$100 - $200 tops (but only for a handful of non-key SA and BA books that I'd like to upgrade). The most I ever spent was $700 or so for my AF 15 back in the early '00s...

[esquirecomics]

Most I've ever paid for a book is $62,500.

 

Most I could see myself spending right now is $100,000.

 

Most I could see myself spending if I didn't mind getting divorced is $1,000,000 for the right copy of Action #1

 

That wouldnt happen to be a 6.5 ?

 

We'd have to make arrangements on the fly b/c I would be running with my passport in hand. Hold the book out on the street corner while I drive by quickly and reach my hand out.

The most I've ever spent was $450, for a comic that I knew I was going to be flipping shortly thereafter.

 

For my own collection, I get uncomfortable going over $40 but I'm trying to change my psychology as I get closer to finishing my Daredevil and ASM series.

On a single book it was just shy of 2200, but I have spent closer to 7k from a nice cherry picked collection a few years back

[SolitaireOne]

Currently, only $250+/-... but recently I strongly considered tossin' out $1200-$1300 for a very nice CGC 9.6 Conan #1.

 

It would've fit in nicely as the keynote piece for my 9.6+ Registry Set... until reason set in.

 

 

 

 

 

* Someday, I'll nab it though along w/ a nice 9.4/9.6 ASM #129, my primo 1978 "Bandit" TransAM and the pre-mommy Denise Richards! <3

[synch]

$5g for a ff#1 or AMF #15

 

"some day"

 

other wise my limit for a book is in the $500 range depending I suppose really on the book it self ... maybe %00-1000 if its something I really want & is key ...

I think your theoretical limit goes up the longer you're on this board... (But as always, there are exceptions.)

 

It's subtle, but it happens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Mr.Diggler]

$300 or so. If I made more I would spend more!

[Guardian Comics]

I haven't cracked 5 figures on a book yet but I have done so once for a piece of original art and once for a collectible toy. The most on a book so far has been $6500. It will happen someday for a book, and the thought frightens me.

I don't necessarily need high grade books, so my threshold is lower than some. I've spent 500 or so a few times, and realistically I could see myself approaching or even passing the $1000 for some of the tougher SA keys, but I doubt I'll ever be spending thousands for a single funny book.

[innocuous]

MY theoretical limit is $10k. Perhaps in another 10 years I'll add another zero.

[homerwannabee]

For me the most I have ever spent on a video game was $2,000 for an Atlantis II with docs for the Atari 2600. Most I have ever spent on a comic book was $130 for six silver age Amazing Spider-man comic books raw. 4 of the six turned out to be restored, so I am a little gun shy on buying a comic for more. Most for a bronze age comic was $10 for a Star Wars #1 comic in 9.0 to 9.2 condition.

 

[JohnT]

Did you say video game?

Maybe its just as you get older you can stop worrying about Danny's braces or Cynthia's car for her sweet sixteen

[bhhooks22]

$1250.00 is the most so far . But , if things work out over the next two years , I can see spending $20 K a piece on a few books and selling a couple of them to keep one ........Bh

[Earthbornpig]

For me, most I have spent on a book is $2000 for a Timely book. I like grabbing Timelys in the $500-1500 range. Lower to mid grade copies or nice PLOD copies but not frankenbooks. Most of the silverage books I buy in the 8.5-9.0 range and run in the $100 to $300 range. I think the most I have spend on silver age book is about $400 and $1200 for a bronze age book. All in all, I think my limit is about $5000-6000 - but that will have to be further down the road when I can really afford to start saving for one of the grails on my list.
