Popular Post boomtown Posted April 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2022 Remember the good old days in the late 70's when comic stores would go out of business and have real liquidation sales? I'd come home with a stack of books and my Mom would get on to me about buying more than 1 copy of the same book. "It's the same exact book!!! Why would you waste your quarter on the same exact book!! Just read the first one twice. What am I going to do with you..."

Ehh, the reviews only matter if your planning to sell it soon. Long term, you've got one of the nicest copies out there and you needed it to complete the set. Waiting around to buy key books had never really worked well for me lol. PeterPark, Sweet Lou 14 and batmiesta 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind the inflation effect. Comparing a comic that "should" sell for $300 with the realized price of $1300 could represent a drop in value depending on when those prices were sampled. When I was collecting comics as a kid, the price of gas was $0.17 cents a gallon. A hundred gallons of gas was $17.00. At that price, 200 gallons was $34.00, and 2000 gallons was $340. Today, 2000 gallons of gas would cost me $8,480.00. Even if we go forward a bit to post-Carter prices, gas was still no higher than about $0.75 cents. A funny thing about the price of gas is that it tracks the price of comic books pretty well, because at the same time, comics were selling for between $0.60 and $0.75. At 75 cents a gallon, 100 gallons costs $75.00. That is less than 10% of todays prices. Meaning, a $300 comic back then (1977-1979) that sells for $1,300 today represents a loss of around $1,075 worth of buying power.

You choose the minimum grade you'll accept and pay 8.00 per reject. With the # 1's it probably wouldn't pay to pay for grading under 9.6. NM or VF/NM raws sells for good money on e bay. But you probably already know all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice comparison on inflation and relative cost. my own memory from my childhood had a first class letter at 13 cents and latest issue of Amazing Spider-man at 25 cents (1975). A comic was slightly less than 2 first class stamps. With postage now at 58 cents it is clear the comic book has exploded against the cost of a postage stamp. Remember that next time one wants to complain about the cost of postage paqart and Treco 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one of those crappy "in shadow" cameos just like issues 3 and 4 followed by another cameo in 5. 6 is the Anti-Monitor book for me!
