SpidersComics Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 wow! they say there isn't much difference between the 9's - well there is a LOT of difference between that 9.2 with a penciled in A (why wouldn't you just get that cleaned up on a 25k book?) and this 9.4 - look at the colours, the corners. Agree, that 9.2 was a bad bet with that soft corner. tth2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no fear, I have deep pockets but very short arms...this whole level is well outside my comfort zone, happy buying, cleaning & reading my little silver age books! But this topic is deeply interesting to me, I've spent my entire working life in finance and this market and the brilliant analysis by @MasterChief is riveting. Lots of similarities abound: time in the market is better than timing the market; purchase what you believe in and hold is safer than trying to buy the hot tip of the day and making a quick flip, etc. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mlansdown Posted June 3 Popular Post Share Posted June 3 Just added this one to my collection. It's my first Promise Collection book, and it's from a GA title that always makes me smile. I certainly won't hesitate to buy more books from this pedigree! buttock, Robot Man, Point Five and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Promise books were never investments to begin with, they are basically the Ultra Wealthy's version of a Boston Creme, albeit a decent one. Sorry.

Silver Surfer Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 If more Church copies that have been locked away in collections for decades come to market then Promise books will look like a deal in the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
