Nah, I'm wrapping up time payments on another big book, then I think I need to pull back from big purchases for a little bit.

Popular Post Callaway29 Posted February 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) I'm hoping marvel replicates FF12's cover in a movie. I want to see that scene come to life...would be an epic nod to fans.

X-Men era has to be as in depth and as long as Avengers, especially with all the run off movies like Ant man Dr Strange ect ect. A Wolverine encounter with Hulk would have to be in a Wolverine stand alone movie imo (obviously connected to the MCU). Be interesting to see a Jean Grey stand alone, also a better job on Apocalypse. Magneto origin story would be cool...maybe they could reinvigorate a Gambit movie, tho I've moved passed it tbh. So much stuff they could do with X-Men both earthly and inter galactic....I just hope they go in the right direction, and I think the sky is the limit for X-Men 1 They definitely ruined the storyline in the X-Men movies with Mystique imo Edited February 19, 2021 by Hollywood1892 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Hollywood will find a way eventually. Any way. They could loosely adapt “Planet Hulk” as an x-men focused concept, making hulk the big bad, so to speak. Look at how loosely Cap Civil War was an adaption of the Civil War comic. Just one possibility. Hollywood1892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased this book a couple of years ago (I think late 2019) for $4,500. It's just hard for me to believe that a book can increase 233% in a little over a year. Absolutely. Comparisons in this crazy world we live in, if Bitcoin can go up 450% past year, if Tesla can go up 750% this past year, well 233% for a comic isn’t exactly out of reach. Regarding comics, other comparisons could be TMNT1, ASM300, UF4 in the past year probably over 250% gains in many grades. Yeah, everything is running now. Look at how many Copper and Modern books in 9.8 are selling for several thousands now after being in the $200-$500 range last year.

Is this really a character that we think the MCU is going to build around? I remember when, during the heat of it all leading up to Thor Dark World, you could sell that Thor #344 first Malekith for like $60-100 easily. Now? That book is staler than forgotten toast in a toaster. This is a Silver Age book so granted, it will always have a bit higher value due to age but for people to be spending $200, 300, 500+ on a nice copy seems incredibly risky.

I hear ya. If I found a mid grade copy for $60 or less, I might consider it. And even then, I would be tempted to sell because this is a book I see cooling off hard and fast as soon as we are a month removed from this show's end and are diving into the next thing.

However, this would imply that you are willing to sell your collectibles to take advantage of this run-up. I'm not sure that applies to all of us. For me, I would not sell my copy of Black Knight #1 CGC 4.5. At one point in time, my investment had increased by 233%. I still chose not to sell it. My reasoning was, "If I sell this copy, I probably never get another copy like this for a reasonable price." Completing my run of Black Knight #1 - #5 was important to me, so I held on to my BK #1 even though I could have tripled my money back.

I've been looking forward since the union of Marvel / Disney with Fox for the MCU to pay homage to the various classic "Battle Covers" of Marvel. 1) Fantastic Four #112 (Hulk vs Thing - Love this Battle Cover) 2) Silver Surfer #4 (Thor vs Silver Surfer - Love this Battle Cover) 3) Sub-Mariner #8 (Thing vs Sub-Mariner - Love this Battle Cover) 4) And of Course...Hulk #181 (Wolverine vs Hulk - Who doesn't love this cover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but for every story that is similar to yours there is a counter story of “I wish I had sold it when it was hot.” I can’t remember the exact saying but it’s something like, “don’t get caught holding after the ship has left” or after harvesting or something like that.

The rule of thumb I go with is to buy multiple copies of keys when I am hunting for them. It makes it easier to part with a copy/multiple copies down the road if prices spike. Timing the sales is the hard part. I went from 5 X-Men 1 and 10 GSX 1 at the end of 2019, to just one of each now by starting to sell them last year. Should have waited another 12 months.
