Death Of Wolverine #1 Variant Dilemma

[pjammer]

So the #1 has a 1;50 , 1;100 , 1;300 , 1;500. I collect everything wolverine and with a rare half discount it would cost me $1,247.50. Which would give me way to many Reg books, 9-1:50 and 4-1:100's. Im really stressing on what to do here. If i was able to sell the extra variants my final investment would be $397.50. Any suggestions and does anyone think doing a pre-order sale on the boards would work

ignore the book altogether and buy some wolverine original art instead.

find the coolest cover of the bunch and make it yours

Euurgh. 1:500 for a "death of".

 

If you have to have it then do what you can but you will have to unload variants quick quick quick or risk paying a lot more for what you keep. Has it crossed your mind to give it a miss or look at what other holes you could fill in your collection for what you are willing to spend?

Wait 120 days & buy them at a fraction of that.

Wait a year and buy them all CGC 9.8 for a couple hundred total.

probably better to buy a pack than look for single copies.

I passed by a street fair today and they had 3 boxes of Death of Superman comics for $1 each.

 

My point is this is just a money grab the same way Supes' death was in the 90s and once Wolverine returns (just before a new movie) these comics will be joining those Superman books in the $1 box.

Very true. And I don't know about you, but I am still reeling from the death of Bernie, so I don't think even by September I will be recovered enough to be concerned with Wolverine.

If Bernie was alive he could save Wolverine. RIP Bernie.

I used to be a variant chaser too, in fact got back into the hobby right around ASM #700. Yup dropped the coin to get every last copy... Ditko, Quesada sketch, etc. Finally woke up one day and really asked myself WTF am I doing spending so much on variants when I can A) get OA B) get sketches C) get key gold and silver age books which would mean much more in the long run.

 

Point is I agree with just about everyone in that it ain't really worth it bud.

[Dutch74]

as an investment no, but if you just like to collect...

I suggest you put that money to something else like another Hulk 181.

You cold get something(s) REALLY nice for the money you plan to spend on the comics.

 

I got my first OA page for $130 when the comic it was printed in was selling for $40. After that I quit chasing comics, except to read a good story.

 

You collect what you like and makes you happy. For me the choice was easy.
