Market is just crazy stupid right now 6 6

Almost 3000 9.8 UF 4s, and no 9.9s.

Will that book ever have a 9.9?

No selling my Venom #1 Error Black cover CGC 9.9 for $2500 was a mistake. 

Plus x2 NM #98 CGC 9.9's.

But then again everyone in the hobby has those kind of books they wished back x10 of my examples.

It really comes down to how many books we've owned that could have been owned at the same time, right?

Let's say you put $10,000 into some nice books, and you sell them and make $15,000.

So, you buy $15,000 in nice books and sell them and make $18,000.

Now you buy $18,000 in nice books and sell them and make $25,000.

Now you're holding $25,000 in nice books, but you sold $43,000 in other books through the years that you no longer have. 

Some of those earlier books have increased since you sold them, so maybe you once owned $75,000 in nice books (current value) in addition to the $25,000 value you now have.

But, there's not a scenario where you once owned $100,000 in books at the same time.  The $25,000 in value you have now is the most you've ever held at once.  It's not a loss, if it's a gain.

I have to keep reminding myself of this when I look back at what I once had vs what I have today.

Yes I done that math in my head to.

Same with TMNT #1 CGC 9.8 and your CGC 9.6

I have definitely rolled that money into other books and compounded it to a nice chunk of change.

But what was the context of those transactions? I was bidding on some of your auctions years ago on eBay before I even knew you were on the boards and I don't think I've ever seen a BIN from you. Always auction style starting at a dollar and on some big slabs which is very admirable and a buyer friendly approach on your part. Prospect sees your listing, gets excited, and can win it in a week or so as opposed to you holding onto the book for two years with some stratospheric unrealistic BIN price. 

BIN are for pansies. 

None of those books I mentioned I auctioned on eBay.   C-Link, dealer sale, and I think a boardie sale. 

Really on the only Venom #1 CGC 9.9 (error Black) I want back. The rest I made a nice profit and reinvested into more books which then I sold to compound the profit.  So while it's nice to sell one book and make $X it just took me longer to sell multiple books to get to that current todays value of $X if I had just held onto the book etc.  Really I can't complain.
