How many people can possibly think they need to start a comic investing site??

I've heard people mention getting their breaking news about books from various websites and I never took the time to look into them. Well yesterday I decided to do a Google search for comic investing and about 10 sites popped up! Ten sites dedicated to informing people or "investors" into what is hot and what is not in the comic world. Problem is almost all of them have the same list of books and virtually the same info.

 

Is there that many people "investing" in books that all of these websites can be viable from a financial standpoint?

I know! :idea:

 

Let's start a crowd funded initiative to sell snips of key comics and put it in a display case! That'll be soooooo popular and there won't be any backlash from collectors, at all!

That's ok I guess, but I was thinking we'd create our own crypto currency, and then use the profits to invest in CGC slabs that then all of the coin owners would...own...I...I honestly never understood that whole thing. I'm sorry.

I visit those sites weekly. Not for investing purposes though. They give a good recap of what's hot, why they're hot, and some pretty interesting insights.

 

This week's find...Liberty Comics The Boys issue.

 

These sites help expand my interests beyond my regular weekly buys. Good stuff.

Just saying, any numbnut d-bag can say books are heating up or will be the next big thing ;)

 

All you can do is try to stay on top of the trends.

I was a fan of Jay Katz's site for a while when I was buying new comics. But I've cooled down on the new issues and mostly have been focusing on older books. I like to see CBSI's top 10 list, which is both old and new but is a fun read. GoCollect's hottest comics is a good reference to see what's moving also.

 

There's nothing wrong with buying comics to profit from them. The reality is that most comics never appreciate in value. It's not easy making money with comics so you might as well enjoy the product too.
