I thought you got a black markered up 359 some years ago?

 

Nope, only key in the 200-500 run that really never presented itself at the right time. Has to be at least 8.5

I wish it were as simple as one book.

Probably the one I'm lurking the most on currently, waiting for the floor to drop out, is TOS 50.  I mean come on - how long ago was that movie?  And it wasn't even the real Mandarin.

Based on the movie portrayal of Mandarin, the price on ToS 50 should have tanked!

Right now I'm needing Spidey 121&122 theyre just too much.I think in current perspective they're not even relevant. Gwen's not dead.goblins not dead.why do they, 121 mostly keep rising? I've seen it mentioned before,today's generation of collectors and the next won't see these books as special as they seem to us.I could of bought a set a few years ago for $25 in low grade,now same would be well over $100.my hand will probably grow onto my waiting but so be it.I'll wait.

Action #1, however, I am rather certain that boat has sailed.  Turned down a lot of copies over the years thinking I could just pick it up a little later.  Unfortunately a little later and price went through the roof, sky, and beyond.

After that I would say Suspense Comics #3.  Seems if the boat hasn't sailed on this one, it certainly has moved away from the easy shore line.

For me it's ASM slabs.  I am only a recent slab collector and the issues that are on my radar are #13 (1st mysterio), #20 (1st scorpion), and of course #50.  They are doable in the mid grades that I collect, but I just can't seem to let go of the money.  My wife is always in my head.

Tec 395 8.5-9.2 

Still not sure what I’d spend on it...but really want a high grade copy. The Fantuccio pedigree was a beaut

[FineCollector]

Getting too close to a run of Avengers to put off the #1 much longer.  Happy enough with something below VG that has no splitting, staple tears or rust, but haven't found my copy.

[90sChild]

Need a Doctor Strange #169, but it is going to cost me more than I've spent so far on #170-183.  Trying to do cgc 9.4 for the whole run.

waiting for it to get more expensive??

[Aweandlorder]

Albedo 0 1st yellow table variant - I'll probably never own this book 

weird science fantasy 29 - 9.4 or higher - most likely won't happen either

A year ago I traded my ASM 300 for a nice looking ASM 28.  My logic was I had seen more 300's around and that I would be able to replace it whenever I got a little cash.  That turned out to be a pretty huge blunder.  Around that same time I did that with my NM 98 for a really nice Iron Fist 14 for the same reason.  Although I still like what I have, both the 300 and the 98 show zero signs of ever becoming "reasonably priced" despite the high volume of copies out there.  Luckily, I held on to my NM 87.

I'm trying to find the right mid grade copy.  There are a couple of JIM 83's in the Heritage Auction so we'll see...

[batman_fan]

I am waiting for the "right" Amazing Spiderman 1.

[Ken Aldred]

Not just one.

Too many at currently inflated prices that I'm not willing to pay.

It would be a pity if I never acquired them, but compared to being persistently gouged by speculation it's the lesser of two evils.

ASM 1 for me, a well presenting lower grade. Trying to save without getting distracted by the "small" stuff. Inevitably a good upgrade or a nice piece of OA will always come up, and there goes my ASM 1 money.
