Also did you know Marvel was bought out by Disney? Oh and Sony allows them to use these ASM characters in their Marvel films sometimes? Oh there is also a lot of new Spider-Man movies coming out over the next couple fo years. I guess that has something to do with it. When you said, "Personally, I wish I hadn't sold off many key high-grade ASMs years ago, but I do think there will be a correction coming." Classic, predictable sheep thinking there must be a correction because I don't own them anymore. If you still owned them you would be asking 25% over GPA in the sales section. Who am I? "I sold Amazon for 1k a share years ago, and I just looked at the stock prices......OMG no way its worth $3500! Crash will obviously happen so I can buy them again at the old market value!" THAAAAAAATS YOU! I don't think calling people sheep is a nice thing to do. Finhead and djzombi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney didnt buy Marvel to sit on these characters. FF and X-men are coming! Everyone thinks Hulk 181, X-men 1, FF 1, 5 are expensive now, what do you think is going to happen when they announce movie dates and casting? What do you think will happen when the people who apparently missed the many movies from the past 20 years that featured Wolverine finally discover him?

Maybe you could extricate your cranium from wherever it is that you stuck it and try to understand reality. He wasn't my choice for Wolverine either, but that doesn't matter.

mlovest Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 Well, I still wish I had a couple of those ASM's I sold, but I'm happy I have the collection I do have now. It continues to grow slowly, and I have added lots of lower value but NM copies of various Spider-Man appearances up through the about 1990. I really don't worry much about the swings in comics prices as I'm primarily a collector and not an investor or dealer. My retirement accounts are in great shape, and I sleep very soundly awaiting the day I retire, so I can live off my long-term savings and investing strategy and results. That said, many key ASMs are getting very expensive (in my opinion), and I do not think there are enough collectors and investors to hold these prices. When an asset appreciates in value, especially when it really goes up, there has to be something to keep it high. For collectors, there are only so many NM copies of a favorite comic to chase. My initial point was why an ASM 300 in NM is worth so much more than a 10-times more scarce early ASM in NM? When the prices go up, you can go for lower grades or shift your focus. For investors, higher prices can drive additional demand, at least for some time, like a feeding frenzy. And for investing, going along with the majority often results in being on the wrong side of market corrections. Market corrections are normal as are business cycles. If you aren't prepared for them or diversified, they can really hurt. I will continue to purchase ASM and guest appearances for my collection, but I may sell a few really high-value copies to keep my wife from complaining about what I spend on funny books. My comics collections is not part of my retirement planning, so it's really bonus in the end. V/R, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
