Moderns that are heating up on ebay! 70 70

Spawn has a new set of collectors readers in the past year with the hype machine that McFarlane has become on social media 

new collectors want to collect a series with great art hard to find variants and is still a continuing series

these books may not maintain their current values but I don’t see them dropping like others

Name another series that fits that criteria 

long run, fun to collect, still ongoing, still relevant

Sounds like finally some books you have none of 

Yes, of course, but no. My multiple Spawn runs stop just before #100, when I think many a collector abandoned ship on the title. Those are still producing some nice change for me

Both have restarted - too long. What modern reader wants to go back 1000 issues that they won’t complete

Two years ago, you would have said exactly the opposite . . . please don't make me do the work though.

I think those collectors are starting to pick up 101-300 according my sales

I would advise you the same I advised SA and GA collectors when Guardians of the Galaxy got big and the 1st Groot appearances were sky rocketing.
Sell when everyone wants them. Not when the price is so high everyone is selling them.

 

The big question is whether one would be heartbroken if they were never able to buy them back on the cheap later on. Sure, the prices might go down when interest wanes, but that might make people hesitant to sell the at the cheaper prices. If you own them and you're interested in owning them because you like them, then maybe keep then. If it's more a matter of cash, then sell when the price is high. Sure, it could go higher, but will it?

No "modern reader" has any desire to complete a run - that's a history of long ago.

McFarlane has a ton of followers and he hyped up his 300 well. People noticed, people started to buy the series again. people remembered the spawns from before

That, of course, is always the big question.

Agreed - And seriously, any one of the Avengers individual titles. But Bats and Spidey always rule.

I didn't mean to imply that no one wants them, but their motivation isn't a complete run. Now Blood Syndicate is one. cool. book.

Btw, Hector is kind of off the charts for a first name (no offense) But the only Hector(s) I have known (good friends) have been Latino (again no offense intended if you take it that way.)  Cheers,
