What comic would you consider spending a small fortune for? 4 4

[MGsimba77]

Something within the realm of non pipe dream...ASM 39 9.6 signed by Romita (if there is one)

Does this count?  If you told me I had a choice between an Action Comics #1 or the original art for Calvin & Hobbes...i'd take the C&H OA.

Detective Comics 1 comes  to mind.

I'd blow a wad (of cash) on one of the 9.0/9.2 CGC copies of Eerie Comics #1 (1947).

Some weird underwater books that never seem to surface (lol)

Blue Bolt 4 maybe? 

Prize Comics 18?  @telerites

Maybe i would consider this comic for a fortune....There were only 10 copies of this sketch cover ever produced....and the artist got 9....I got the ONLY  1 sketch cover available to the public...I had someone familiar on these boards do a pre code piece for me....PRICELESS........especially if Lady Death ever takes off....

You might be able to get about tree fiddy for that piece someday in the future.

In the past it would have been Rawhide Kid #1, Kid Colt Outlaw #1 or any of the JIM/ST 1-20 issues I need, however...

As I have gotten older I no longer have the desire to spend money on comic books, it just does not excite me as it used to and I feel the prices have become outrageous (is it because I became "that old guy"?), at this point I cannot even see myself spending $25.00 for any book.

Feel exactly the same here, though I'd pay $25 for a $100+ book

As a dealer I'll purchase anything I can market.  But on a personal level, there are no "mega-keys" that do anything for me.  But I'm a sucker for the ultra-rare (and often over-pay because of it).  I'd love to own a Kokonut Comics just because there are only a couple of known copies.  I love rare pulps whose existence seems to number in single digits.  I currently have a true 1st edition of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"... but in the variant binding that is so rare, it appears I may have the only copy.  I own a Charlie Chaplin poster circa 1916 whose title-variation may be unique.  I have what may be the earliest lobby card to depict Boris Karloff.  None of this stuff will bring what even a lower-grade AF15 will... but I find it fascinating for some reason.

Did you ever find a copy?

I just saw a copy on Facebook.

I finally got an Amazing Fantasy 15 before the crazy price jumps - by selling off a couple of smaller key books as I certainly didn't have the cash on hand. The other big key which I would really like to get but is out of my price range for now is Incredible Hulk 1.

Bearing in mind my financial restraints, my current personal grail is ASM 14. Just waiting for it to come around at my price to pull the trigger.

Interesting... then that's 3 graded copies (along with the CGC 6.0 and 8.0)...  since this is listed as a file copy, I wonder if there are actually more out there that never got public release?

I'll do it one day. Only need an X-Men #4 to complete a 1 - 143 run.
