BarryAllen Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So should I sell all my SA Key books? No one suggested that. Who wants to buy mid-grade first appearance SA Mega Keys at 50% off 12 month GPA? No one suggested that. I can understand people's apprehension because we are talking about money, but there aren't any market indicators that popular key hero books (only talking about the top tier) are in danger any time soon - or poised to lose value. So now we're only talking about the 'top tier'? What exactly is 'top tier'? Is it the same as the 'Top Tier' was in 1974? Yes, some specific books will lose value as the popularity of their main character wanes, but it is not as if the genre is going to evaporate overnight. No one suggested that. Highs and lows within a year or span of a few years are bound to happen, but unless some catastrophic event happens (global financial collapse, 500 AF 15s in 9.0 or higher materialize out of thin air, Marvel decides to stop making/selling anything, etc) these books are still the blue chip of comic investing. Are you suggesting there is no ceiling to the value an AF15 can reach that people no longer can afford it or choose to try to? Please note that I also agree that comic investing shouldn't be your only investment choice (probably like 8 or 9 out of a list of 10), but there isn't any reason to believe your money isn't relatively safe in top SA keys. Safe? Are we talking safe or growth? Dude, you are the worst. Seriously, do you feel the need to purposefully dissect anything said on the boards to the 1,000th degree? We are all capable of this behavior occasionally (I am definitely included), but man you seem to be hard-wired to push and push and push. Many of the points were meant to be sarcastic and the balance topline personal position. I understand that there are arbitrary details, but without a post consisting of 10,000 words to clarify everything, I felt it okay to leave some interpretation out there. You seem to be only interested in picking fights on here and are clearly a "top tier" jerk and a bully. See now here I thought I was being polite. This is what I find most peculiar about these boards. Nowhere did I call you a name. Nowhere did I try and pick a fight. I took a post you wrote on a public forum and I made statements in regard to your SPECIFIC statement, and asked questions. Why is that considered a bad thing? You made statements on a public forum. I responded. What do I get in return for this desire to continue the dialogue? I'm told "Dude, you are the worst", accused of being 'hard-wired to push and push and push', and 'picking fights' and then called "a "top tier" jerk and a bully." I'M the one out of line? Yes, you are. Maybe this specific line of posts isn't the best example, but there are plenty of instances to draw on. However, no amount of conversation between the two of us will change how you view your approach, attitude or their impact on others in the forum. Good day sir.

BarryAllen Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 This is a topic that doesn't really concern me. The chances of myself being able to purchase anything relevant is pretty slim. For instance, the only real key I would like to own is a xmen #1, which after a bit of digging, seems to run around$450k in 9.8. My house isn't worth that much. Maybe in a few years I could afford it, but for now, I'll stick to getting comics under $5k I have a nice X-men 1 3.0 for sale that is definitely under $5k!

Zevgoli Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Seems everyone here is fixated on books that cost thousands to buy for investment. Too hung up on big "keys" and not looking downward instead of up. I gave sound advice several pages ago for book investing and it seems everyone ignored it. I guess if the return does not promise $30k or better ignore it. But thats good for me actually keep doing that. More books for me. Remember the tortoise wins the race. Cheers, Howard Oh just go run around naked outside already I can tell you are Canadian because you cuss politely. Cheers, Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisco37 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Seems a bit harsh. I haven't always agreed with Chuck (re: Stan Lee), but I've never thought he's come across as someone that's just here to argue. He's got great insight into the hobby. He's one of the more interesting posters IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
