Bluemedgroup Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 3 hours ago, Math Teacher said: There's always a lot of talk about FOMO. I was most definitely in that category last summer, when I purchased my GSXM #1 CGC 7.5 for approximately $1,800. According to GPAnalysis, the most recent sale of this book was for $4,999, which occurred this month. So, what I guess I'm trying to say, FOMO doesn't always lead to bad results. I wonder if I sold my 7.5 to you lol. Because that’s the price I sold it for last summer, kicking myself! oh also had two 9.0s and a SS Stan Lee I can’t remember what grade but it was probably between 8-9. Made a few hundred books on each. Sold because some were saying market would crash due to Covid. Dang were they wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was you, then thank you on both counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummy Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Yep. It feels like a race to the edge of a cliff right now. For me, I have about six SA keys left to buy for my collection, and every one of them seems to have doubled in price in two months, if not more. Looks like I'm going to have to be the ONE THING I'm not in my collecting life: patient. alexgross.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be tough to see a 3.0 at $12k I would think ..... but who knows this market is a bit nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I look at these numbers and part of my brain says at what point do you say good buy. I would probably always regret it, but there is a number for everything.

Drummy Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hey Piper -- My six remaining: X-Men 1 (oh well!), Avengers 1, TOS 52 and 57, Marvel Super-Heroes 12, and FF 48. Most will be easy to find in time, but the X1 in particular may need a lot of patience. Dan piper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darthbryan Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I’ve been following comics and the MCUs effect on them since the first Iron Man movie came out. I’m vastly aware of FOMO. I missed the window on TOS 39 but followed it as a “case study” and finally a few years ago I was in a financial position to really put some money into SA. It was obvious to me that waiting would cost me dearly, so in the past few years I’ve been lucky enough to snag a few off my key list: Avengers 4 6.5, FF1 4.0 , DD1 5.0, X-Men 1 7.0, GS X-Men 1 9.6, and FF48-50 8.5- all prior to their popping. At this point my list of books left for my bucket list isn’t that long but is going to cost me dearly - AF15, TOS39, Avengers 1, JIM 83, and Hulk 1. I have a feeling that I’m going to die completing this gauntlet and I’m only 50 LOL.
