Do people have any limits?

[jkrk]

I am simply a watcher since I don't collect real high grades. If the GA cover is pleasing that's enough for me. I am trying to understand the super high grade (gold or silver) buyers mindset.

Is it 1)an investment? The buyers wish to own a rare comic (one of the few high grades) which will be worth more in the future? The investor

2)Is it the thrill of the hunt?- The hobbyist?

3)Is it the concept of flipping to a bigger fool? The momentum player?

 

Am I missing others? As I said I'm only the observer.

[joe_collector]

It's a combination of all three, but really the first and last buyer types are the ones to watch out for.

[comicmankev]

Goldies grading is pretty accurate, not sure about his pricing though!

 

Only joshin

 

 

And as for this AS price, believe me, I have met the buyer in person, and he is a SERIOUS COLLECTOR just re-joining the trend, and there is a DEEP pocket for good stuff. If you get any it is REALLY worth talking to Leon

Is there any other kind.

 

I wonder what a comic fan like Greggy is, who has never left the hobby and doesn't follow trends?

 

A SERIOUS, SERIOUS, SERIOUS, SERIOUS, SERIOUS, SERIOUS, SERIOUS, SERIOUS, SERIOUS COLLECTOR?

[comicmankev]

By serious, I mean:

 

[joe_collector]

I think the word you're looking for is WEALTHY.

 

A SERIOUS collector collects, and doesn't just suddenly pop back in and drop big money on the latest fad.

[comicmankev]

OK, OK, OK, maybe it wasnt something that came across correctly in print, or maybe the word I was looking for was 'SERIOUS' rather than SERIOUS.

[joe_collector]

W-E-A-L-T-H-Y

 

Guys like greggy, banner and donut would rank up as "serious" collectors on here, as they've been at it years and don't just jump in at the hottest period in the history of the hobby, and proceed to blow their load on over-priced books.

 

Longevity, business acumen and the ability to forecast, and not follow, trends would be my prime consideration in awarding that title.

Thought this might come in handy Kev.

Blow me.

Good one GP, brought a smile to my face. And heres the reply I already had prepared for JC, because I could forsee the response:

 

As always JC, your annoyance is far too intolerable for me, I cannot continue saying the same thing if the listener has no comprehension of different ways of thinking. Thread jacking is not my style; I dropped that back when the Hammer dropped.

Cool, but if "different ways of thinking" means that anyone jumping into the CGC market with a wad of cash is automatically a SERIOUS COLLECTOR, then I'm proud to not think that way.

 

Very, very proud.

[joe_collector]

I find it most amusing that your definition of "open thought" means agreeing 100% with what you have written.

 

Most amusing.

I'm not saying "I'm right and your wrong". It just annoys me that someone can turn around with your attitude and not even understand what I was saying. If you had just put your thoughts across, that would have been fine. But your tone (in print) is getting to me.

Maybe now we can get on topic. I've got 22 CGC Spider-Man's going on sale tonight. I hope people will lose their minds in bidding on these:

I feel the exact same way about your comments. Small world, eh?

I go away for the day and miss all the fun. Keep on fighting the good fight, gentlemen! What was the fight about, again?

[OldGuy]

Am not. Are to. Am not. Are to. Am not. Are to.

 

Pretty much like how every conversation with JC ends up.
