A 9.4 TOD #10 for $700  (1/3 of $2100) - and you passed?

I find that pretty hard to believe tbh.

2017 lowest 9.4 was $1033

2018 lowest 9.4 was $1076

 

I have no idea why you would leave an easy 35% profit on the table?

Any reason?

Dude. What's your issue? Seriously. 

Please don't start this cliche message board nitpicking of words stuff. I was just making a simple statement. 

 

And what I was saying was a couple years ago based on what the issue was going for at the time I passed in it and now it goes for more. The end. Yes, hindsight is 2020

In my opinion on this debate I completely agree that tomb of Dracula 10 has became a more sort after book I paid only 105 for my copy just over a year ago and managed to get 400 from it 6 months later from a friend so I can agree with it being a book what’s slowly starting to rise

If where all meant to of had that much of a ability to predict the market I would of bought 50 west coast avengers in grade 9.8 and buy a daredevil 1 from the profits then again you can never predict what will be worth something in a year’s time just look at Darth Vader 3

Exactly. 

Luckily I just got my time machine out of the shop though and went years into the future to see what's hot. I am now the proud owner of 500 9.8 copies of Kickers Inc. Can't believe they made a movie about that... 

[Tghutcn]

I’ll go and stock up on a 1000 Youngblood 1s in 9.9 I’m sure they’ll do a movie someday

Your logic is worse than your spelling and punctuation.

Those quoted prices were prices that were CURRENT LOWS in 2017 and 2018.

No time machine needed as all other GPA recorded sales were higher.

Too many people leeching in here from facebook.

I'm stepping away before I get a week.

And Auction ends don't count. No reason to assume you could have gotten it for $1 more.

I can only speak for myself, but I haven't considered Facebook to be a relevant thing in a very long time. My elderly mother in law still uses it quite a bit though. But I don't think she collects comics. Unless she's been holding out on me all this time...

Note to self. Look into that. 

Anyway, I get not wanting to get hooked and I feel the same. Take care. 

[Kramerica]

I can't say I've been "annoyed" by anything as I lived through 1990-1995 and everything was hot simply because of the artist and if he could draw nice breasts. Or bad feet. Eventually we had an epidemic which eventually wiped out 75% of the comic stores in the USA because of a glut of terrible product and clones and what not. Now that was annoying. But I just can't be annoyed with certain comics becoming hot because of the shows. Especially when they aren't a special foil cover from 1993 which might trigger me. At least now we have writers and artists challenging the medium and fighting to take it in different places. 

I can maybe-sorta see where some people might make it a little personal and get annoyed and soap-boxish in their own little bubble because I was like that when someone thought it was a good idea to stretch the Hobbit into not two but three GD movies to to leech everyone's money and Peter Jackson actually went for it. But I think maybe...just roll with it?

With the books themselves, I see and understand where the the hype comes from. And it's cool. We're now living with the internet and if someone....anyone...is going to appear in a show I can understand why people are flocking to get the first appearance and then seeing that hype spreading. Modoc. Sharon Carter. Talos the Tamed. White Vision. Monica Rambeau. Chthon.

But I'm now more of a Marvel Zombie than ever. I love seeing these characters appearing onscreen and understand why people search them out. Captain America #275, 312, 323, 332, 354, 341, etc, etc. Some of them are going bonkers right now. I love the Mark Gruenwald run of Captain America. Absolutely love it. I bought it off the rack and it's cool to see people flocking to it. If one person gets hooked to his storylines then that's the cherry on top. Now, I will happily put a copy up of it up on eBay if I have it. Avengers 186, Cap 312, 323, West Coast Avengers 42-46....I put them all up on eBay and I'll admit I'm sort of in shock. But maybe I'll now buy another PCH book with the proceeds or finally get a nice HOM #117 

I dunno. I just think I'd rather see more posts of what you really enjoy and dig right now rather than what annoys you, which is an open invitation to trolls to come in and flame on. And it sucks, because I honestly think a lot of peeps here have no idea how good we've got it.

Reminds me I should grab a Tick 1 before they try and revive that again. Loved that show as a kid

I don't keep track as in write them down and study them but if there is a book on my mind or if I want to kick myself over the missed opportunity, I kind of remember or if I am tracking a book, I look up the historical sales data. 

For instance, I was walking around NYCC one year with Jaybuck shortly before the Fox-Disney deal was announced.  I was looking at two books, both priced around $4500.  There was an FF 1 in a 4.5 and an ASM 1 in a 4.5 with a dust shadow.  I really wanted to upgrade my ASM1 at the time so I passed on the FF1.  I wasn't too pleased with the dust shadow and said let me walk around for a bit.  When I went back the FF1 was gone but the ASM1's dust shadow bothered me.  By the time of the next month's round of auctions from CC, Heritage, CLink, MCS and eBay the ASM 1 popped... I tried chasing it but other things came up and by the time I said I might as well just get an FF1 for the heck of it, the Disney deal was announced and that popped.   Such is life. 

PetefromPetesBasement has been trying to get me to see the importance of Franklin Richards and Annihilus for a couple of years but I just couldn't get myself to pull the trigger on an FF Annual 6.  When 8.0's were around $200 I said, "This is not a $200 book" but I took note of the price.  When it was $300, I said, "This is not a $300 book" but I took note of the price and the trend.

Finally, a couple of weeks ago I bought the 7.0 that was on Metro's website for $425, which somehow was under what everyone one else wants for the book. (They actually made a counteroffer and I took them up on it).

But... I keep track of the prices of books I've passed on but I am still somewhat interested in.  I think we all do.

Was the 7.0 graded or raw?

OK, you remember passing on books at roughly the going rate because you thought the going rate was too high. OK, that's pretty much every book i see. I get it.

I remember stuff in the dollar box I didn't buy. The ugly GI Joe 21 and ASM 194 still haunt me. And the 1s Green Goblin at $10 I passed on because of tape on the spine. It still haunts me, 27 years later.
