I have divided the ten books in three category: hyper growth, growth, and conservative. I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket in any one book, because it would be risky, so I have ten different books for diversification. Overall, the ten books from this list has outperform the S & P 500 the last ten years. To buy all these books CGC 2.0 it would cost a collector or an investor about $12000. (thumbs u Considering OSPG would give them an 8% bump each year, not a bad return if only guide price bumps worked in the real world. You have some really nice GL books there in your signature.

I have known for a long time that #7 is tough to find in higher grades, but I was surprised at how difficult the other issues are as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Captain Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 A 5.5 should also deserve a premium, since most copies that get graded will be a 5.0 and under. Sounds like a new list is on it´s way........... If I add 5.5 to the high grade list than I'll have one more of mine to add. Then make it 5.0, so we can ad mine, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Here's a question to throw out. Does anyone know of an example of a book that lost a major chunk of value? It seems that keys have runups and then may hit resistance, but they never collapse. And I don't mean a book like Howard the Duck, I'm talking fairly major keys.

AF 15's have "collapsed" of late... 8.0 copies were fetching $80-85K, now the last 3 have gone for $66k, 70K and 72K... that is , as an extreme, a 25% price correction (or collapes, if you will) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a tremendous run in 2008. Back in 1990's everyone thought the person who bought the White Mountain copy for 40k was out of their mind. Looks who smiling now.

They are still holding up okay in 6.0 and lower, but I think most collectors are priced out about the $10K mark so it will be hard to keep prices up on the high end. I agree that it is good to see prices come down on AF #15 since there are so many copies out there and the price has hit levels too high for people to sustain IMHO. $10K for a 5.5 copy still seems way too high to me.
