You always want to stay in the game. Get that raw copy soon before a raw 7.0 is selling for 3K (just joking of course). I’m pretty sure you’re right. I’ve had two hos 92’s. Can’t seem to hang onto them. Weird book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get that raw copy soon before a raw 7.0 is selling for 3K (just joking of course). +1 If you look at he price gains across the board for most bigger BA keys again to start 2018, you can generate a nice return by buying the best copy of bigger keys/hot cover SA and BA books and sitting on them for three years before considering selling. In some cases, that is all it takes for a nice 2x to 3x on your original investment. Buy a nice copy in November/December of each year and ride tuck then away for a future date. FWIW, $3k for a 7.0 may nohave be that far off the way things are going. ComicConnoisseur and piper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaway29 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Wouldn’t mind an attractive signature series of this book, and that’s not even my thing, but much respect to Bernie. Of the 1693 graded there are 135 signed...is 8% of the graded population being signed low or high relative to other books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Schmakt Posted January 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2019 Really does seem like a crazy high market at the moment... still speculation driving it? I bought mine raw around 2008 at a local Con for like $150... submitted it to CGC last year... light water stains on the front and a rusted staple on the bottom hurt, but I still did ok Keys_Collector, fizsteeler, Comic-Fan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newshane Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I hate everyone who got a good deal on this book back before it took off like a rocket ship. Seriously, I'm looking for the right time to jump in. I think it's a little overvalued. A high-grade copy is one of my dream books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I am not so sure it is overvalued. This year looks like it is shaping up to be a year where the rest of the BA keys spike after the run up in Hulk 181 prices last year. ASM 129 and GSX 1 have already started to move up nicely over the past three or so months, and other key BA books like HOS 92 should follow suit. zosocane and fizsteeler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 It looks like most DC SA and BA keys have slowed relative to their Marvel counterparts. I wonder if now is a good time to buy more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if now is a good time to buy more? Wait until I buy them all then jump in I have sold a 9.4 I got from Roy way too early a few years ago. And sold a 9.0 around a year ago for far less than I should have Should have a copy here on Friday that I have high hopes is 9.2 plus. So with the little money I made on the initial sales, coupled with the price I paid for the new book coming, I should be in the hole 200.00. Looking for a Super 233 to replace the many I have sold over the years! Edited April 4, 2019 by johnenock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
