Would you trade an ASM 14 CGC 4.5 for an FF48 4.5? 1 1

[Venomous72]

Need advice. A fellow collector really likes my ASM 14. I wasn’t planning on ever selling it but have been very into collecting FF and X-men, not so much Spidey.

Do you guys think this is a good trade? Bad trade? Help me pls

It's your call, if your not into Spidey then go for it. It will ultimately come down to your decision.

Collect what you love. 

ASM 14 4.5 = $2,300 on Go Collect

FF 48 4.5 = $2,700 on Go Collect

Appears to be a one up on your end in the trade.

Without factoring in your collecting focus, I would say that it is slightly easier to obtain a copy of FF #48 than it is an ASM #14. The FF #48 is more common. Case in point, there's 7,162 copies of the FF on the census, compared to 4,216 of the ASM. GPA sales history for a CGC 4.5 favours ASM #14. While it's trending closer now, the ASM #14 has been consistently about double the value of an FF #48 up to 2017.

Personally, I would rather keep the ASM 14, regardless of dollar value. (Older book, harder to find, heck of a lot less slabbed etc). But it seems to be a win win situation either way you go.

Trade it.  Sell the FF at its peak....and upgrade to a nicer ASM 14

I've read both. FF48 is much better.

Oh well that settles it then

[InfantTerrible]

trade it, FF48 has so much more potential

[ThothAmon]

If it’s yellow let it mellow. Keep ASM 14.

[D84]

Keep the ASM 14. It's the better cover.

[Finhead]

I wouldn't trade for that FF #48 , the wrap is horrible. That's common with the 48's, there are good wraps out there.

[WolverineX]

FF48.  Get it.

[Venomous72]

Well he said he would buy the ASM 14 for cash, so I may just do that and then I can look for a 48 with a better wrap.

or put the funds toward an FF5 which is what I really want but finding one in the 10k range is really tough

[JazzMan]

From a collector's perspective, if you don't collect ASM and do collect FF, then it's a fair trade.

From a value perspective, keep the ASM - it has a higher momentum (with the last sale in that grade at $3,600 versus $3,100 on the FF).

Sure, just do that.  Or just get it,  the wrap isn't that bad if it doesn't bother you.   Some collectors get way too OCD about presentation.

From a personal perspective, I try to avoid fellow collectors with dirty fingernails and gnarly feet.

Seems like the way to go if you're more into FFs. I wouldn't be surprised to see Galactus or Doom make their way into the MCU. Infact it might surprise me if Disney doesn't go with Galactus at some point. You would be kicking yourself at such point if you didn't. Personally I'd go with 48 but if 5 is what you crave then go there. Has FF5 skyrocketed so much that 10k is too cheap in any grade? Really???

I was surprised it took this long. Feet looked trimmed, just working outside I assumed.

this is a tight trade so I think it is fair. You got a split on answers too, which is good.

Now put on some shoes.

The 4.5 I’m looking at is $15k, some 3.0s are closer to 10 but they don’t come up often
