Is X-Men 1 CGC 9.0 at $46,995 a wise long term investment?

[revat]

If you're wife is getting a horse and you're getting $50,000, why are you looking to invest it instead of wasting it on something frivolous like she is?

 

There's an equity imbalance here...

 

 

horses CAN BE great investments.

Exactly. I've know farmers that have said never buy a horse. She's a long time show rider. There is not much I can do.

50K on a single book?

 

FF1

 

'nuff said

 

(I'd like to say Action 1, but you don't get much of a copy these days for 50K)

I was grooving on Detective 31 until I realized I was reading the price wrong on the Heratage Auction site. CGC 5.0 BIN for $26,000. Done!

 

Opps.

[grebal]

Probably a real good move buying golden age in that strata.

[MustEatBrains]

Everybody relax. This is what just happened:

 

My mother in law died. Left my wife some money. My wife said she's getting a horse and I could get a comic. 50k worth

 

This is a real account and my OP was a real question. I have trouble sometimes with comics as I tend to miss key issues by one issue, like I bought Werewolf By Night 31 and Batman Adventures 11

 

Spit my morning coffee out reading this.

Once Disney re-secures the rights to the X-Men characters for full Disney exploitation and marketing, the book skyrockets and probably doubles.

After talking with our financial guy yesterday (seeing what the money could do in other areas), I'm against it. (Buying a 50K book).

 

But believe it or not, this is true you guys, my wife is nagging me to do it (buy a key issue for 50K). I mean absolutely nagging me to do it

Your wife has been replaced with a doppleganger.

[jsilverjanet]

Maybe she should buy the comic instead of the horse

[NoMan]

I kinda hit the jackpot, wife-wise. She actually has changed her mind about the horse, too. No Horse.

So your investment guy said investing your cash (meaning his bread and butter) in a comic was a bad idea?

 

What a surprise! I'm not saying buying the XMen is or isn't a good idea . But asking someone with a financial stake (he stands to lose out on) in your decision isn't the best way to decide what to do.

[NoMan]

Mo money, more problems

I love threads like these - what could possibly go wrong?

[NoMan]

, I know. What could go wrong?

[NoMan]

I've toyed with the idea of growing my nails like Fu Manchu and watching Ice Station Zebra in the nude like Howard Hughes. Riding abound in a limo late at night and handing out 100$ bills to total strangers.

 

It actually seems like more fun then buying a comic or leaving it the the $ planner guy.

[BlowUpTheMoon]

Have you thought about buying as many copies of this book as can? Try to corner the market?

 

[NoMan]

I have wondered this:

 

If you did have a HUGE amount of money and bought up just about every certain comic, would that drive the price up, cause you know, you gotta 'em all.

 

I hade the Iron Man/Submariner comic when I was a kid and didn't think much of the story. No need for it now.
