Buy what makes you happy and then don't look back. (thumbs u

He knows this and has probably given this advice over 100 times before.

 

In my opinion, Dr. Strange is probably close to as high as it will ever be. I think it's a book that jumped insanely already. Let's not forget he's a 2nd tier/3rd tier character. (thumbs u

 

So was Iron Man :)

Oh come on. Iron Man and Dr. Strange are not the same thing just like TOS 39 and ST 110 aren't either. Marvel certainly isn't treating the characters the same and to think that every b-list Marvel character that gets a movie is going to turn into a-lister is silly.

 

If the OP loves D Strange, great. However as of now it is lifted hugely by movie speculation. Until the movie is released, is a hit and multiple sequels are green-lit, it still should be treated as a speculative book. Was it undervalued, maybe. Hard really to tease that out without making the assumption that every b-list or lower first appearance is undervalued unless it is selling for four figures....which is a ludicrous assumption.

We all have opinions. Mine is that there is definitely more room to grow. This is only the second real Lee-Ditko character and we all know how the other one fared.

 

It did shoot up because people know that they had to get a copy if they ever want one. And because there are many fewer ST110 than for example Preview 4 (which is a newer book) demand affects prices more and there is not the same possibility that speculators will gather 100 books and flood the market (again like Preview 4).

 

Also, Feige has clearly said that the phase that Marvel's cinematic plans are entering is the Mystic Phase... lead by the good doctor. I think he will be a stable in the marvel cinema universe for many years to come.

 

Let's save this thread and look back at these opinions in two years. I submit that GPA on average across all grades will surely have gone up.

Isn't the actor playing Dr. Strange signed to at least like 4 movies ?

I haven't heard about that.. but would make sense given all the other signals from Marvel.

I'm still on the fence about this one, but soon I will have to decide via default. I was glad I found a nice CGC 9.2 of Strange Tales 115. I'll be honest, I didn't expect a lot of the books I bought after the last few years (since 2007) to increase so much.

 

I paid about $1,700 for Takes of Suspense 52 CGC 9.2 and now it goes for almost $5,000. I paid $1,000 for Avengers 57 in CGC 9.4 and now that book is worth several grand and I picked up Dr. Strange 169 CGC 9.2 for under $250 in a C-Link auction. I paid about $975 for my ASM 129 which was sold for much higher in CGC 9.4.

 

Personally I think the speculation being done in te high end of the market cannot be sustained over the long term, but for now it is what it is.

Would you agree that if you buy what you like, you can't go wrong? And if it goes up, that's a bonus?

 

If you're thinking of buying a ST 100 in 9.0, and there's a pretty easy way to check what current fair market value is, and you see that you are not paying more than current FMV, plus this is the first appearance of a character that you just love, and you'll get tons of enjoyment value out of this purchase, shouldn't you just do it? :baiting:

Actually it would most likely be in 9.2, not 9.0. I would only consider a 9.0 or higher, hence the reasoning for the post.

 

I disagree greatly that you should buy what you like regardless of price or future value. I made my way in the antiques and collectibles market by buying out of logic, not emotion. I know plenty of collectors of varios items that have bought out of emotion and if they sold their collections they may recoup less than 50% of what they paid.

 

In theory I do buy what I like, but to tell someone to disregard value and potential value when they are contemplating a $25,000 plus purchase on one item (a single comic book no less) is somewhat naive in my personal opinion. It is by no means anything against you or anyone, but at this level I would expect more advice then to simply say 'buy what you like.'

 

Kind Regards,

 

mint

Very good points. (thumbs u

 

I keep thinking about my day to day business and know that our businesses are similar in some ways. My interaction is mostly with collectors buying low-mid level material, hence my "buy what you like and you can't go wrong" comment. I imagine that you've used this advice several times, however, the wording may have been slightly different.

 

In this case, I lost focus on the value of the purchase and the item itself, and focused more on the bottled answer that I often give. Not to say that my advice for people is wrong in any way, it's just that, as you've reminded me, the scope of the purchase should certainly not be ignored. (thumbs u

 

In this particular case, there's a few things to keep in mind:

 

1. You love the book/character.

2. The value has already risen a lot.

3. The book was previously under-valued.

4. The movie hasn't come out yet. It might be great, or it could be a dud.

5. The current rise in value of key comics cannot be sustained forever.

6. How long will the comic market remain strong/incredibly strong?

 

Thanks for the response.

 

Andy

That is standard operating procedure for contracts these days. They do it all the time in the event that a character or movie becomes popular. However, we have far many stories of failure than success.

 

Also, show me be article that directly quotes Feige stating this is the "Mystic Phase" lead by Dr. Strange. I have read lots of articles and nowhere I can find is he direct about that intention. In fact he really only seems to talk about all the other character movies they are bringing that are not really linked in any shape or form.

 

FYI - let's also not forget that their job is to hype *spoon* to keep it current in people's minds and many times it doesn't come true.

 

Lastly, no one cares if it is a Lee-Ditko character or what order it came in. People on comic forums that are well knowledgable might, but the general public just want an entertaining movie with an aspirational lead character. Does D Strange have potential, sure. Is he a sure thing, far from it.

I can't stand that way of thinking hahaha, people apply the same way of thinking to OA then wonder why when they need to sell, no one wants that they have.

Whenever I hear someone say such a statement "don't worry about the price, just buy what you like"... I always wonder if the motive is along these lines:

 

"just let me make money on comics and worry about value... you should just buy my stuff and I don't need you to worry about value. Buy whatever you like right when you think its cool (in other words when the movie trailer is out and prices are peaking). In short - why worry about prices??? It's about comics and having fun, right?"

 

I'm sure it isn't always - but it might be sometimes.

When I give that advice, my motive isn't to sell them anything at all. They will buy or they won't buy.

 

I just don't like deciding for someone what they should buy or should they do it at all.

Still can't find any article that has Feige calling phase 3 the "mystic phase..."

 

I am calling shenanigans until proof is given.

Thanks for the article, but this is far from his statement that Feige is establishing Dr. Strange as the "center" of Marvel phase 3. He essentially highlights what he would like to explore using Dr. Strange as the movie to do it. This is no different than how they are using Guardians of the Galaxy, the Inhumans or any other of their properties...

 

I am all for Dr. Strange love (heh), but the statement and quote is untrue.

The gist of the phases if I recall was iron man, et al- science phase, guardians, et al- cosmic phase, strange, et al- mystic phase.

Feige states that Strange will "open up a whole new corner" in the MCU. As the character to be doing that, one might reasonably state that Strange will be the "center". At the end of the day it may just be semantics. (thumbs u

meh

 

Got the quote or article?

 

Even then it is still far from saying that Dr. Strange is going to be the center of Phase 3. Iron-Man was the center of phases 1 and 2 - not just 1 - if you are to take the paraphrase literally....

People on comic forums that are well knowledgable might, but the general public just want an entertaining movie with an aspirational lead character. Does D Strange have potential, sure. Is he a sure thing, far from it.

 

Still can't find any article that has Feige calling phase 3 the "mystic phase..."

 

I am calling shenanigans until proof is given.

 

:shrug:

 

I've heard something similar as well.

 

Alexander may be paraphrasing a bit, but Feige essentially says it here:

Thanks for the article, but this is far from his statement that Feige is establishing Dr. Strange as the "center" of Marvel phase 3. He essentially highlights what he would like to explore using Dr. Strange as the movie to do it. This is no different than how they are using Guardians of the Galaxy, the Inhumans or any other of their properties...

 

I am all for Dr. Strange love (heh), but the statement and quote is untrue.

 

 

The gist of the phases if I recall was iron man, et al- science phase, guardians, et al- cosmic phase, strange, et al- mystic phase.

meh

 

Got the quote or article?

 

Even then it is still far from saying that Dr. Strange is going to be the center of Phase 3. Iron-Man was the center of phases 1 and 2 - not just 1 - if you are to take the paraphrase literally....

 

"The idea of the film is to open up a whole new corner in the cinematic universe."

 

Feige says that in the article I already linked. It's likely why so many are bullish on the book. (thumbs u

We all have opinions. Mine is that there is definitely more room to grow. This is only the second real Lee-Ditko character and we all know how the other one fared.

 

It did shoot up because people know that they had to get a copy if they ever want one. And because there are many fewer ST110 than for example Preview 4 (which is a newer book) demand affects prices more and there is not the same possibility that speculators will gather 100 books and flood the market (again like Preview 4).

 

Also, Feige has clearly said that the phase that Marvel's cinematic plans are entering is the Mystic Phase... lead by the good doctor. I think he will be a stable in the marvel cinema universe for many years to come.

 

Let's save this thread and look back at these opinions in two years. I submit that GPA on average across all grades will surely have gone up.

 

Isn't the actor playing Dr. Strange signed to at least like 4 movies ?

I haven't heard about that.. but would make sense given all the other signals from Marvel.

 

That is standard operating procedure for contracts these days. They do it all the time in the event that a character or movie becomes popular. However, we have far many stories of failure than success.

 

Also, show me be article that directly quotes Feige stating this is the "Mystic Phase" lead by Dr. Strange. I have read lots of articles and nowhere I can find is he direct about that intention. In fact he really only seems to talk about all the other character movies they are bringing that are not really linked in any shape or form.

???

 

All he does is hype the movie and the "cool" angles he would like to take with the movie. He makes similar statements about Antman, Black Panther, Inhumans (etc) and more recently about potentially bringing back other characters. This says nothing about Dr. Strange being the center of the new phase.

 

People are bullish about the book because they are whore-mongering speculators or Dr. Strange enthusiasts.

 

Taking quotes, twisting them to drive additional hype is a large reason why people are so bullish about the book. B list character with a first appearance that doesn't have him on the cover is a risky investment based on a single green-lit movie.

 

Books are worth money long term because they have enduring characters. Dr. Strange hasn't proven himself yet. So unless you are buying to flip, you are taking a large inflated risk. (thumbs u
