There is nothing wrong at looking at how you will fund your retirement using a tiny, tiny % of the comics you own through the hobby you love. Still I appreciate there are a hard core group of collectors who want to view the hobby as a closed dictatorship where only they should be allowed to set the rules or say what people can and cant talk about You start a thread where you aks for advice and then post this nonsense. You obviously know more about whatever it is you seem to be asking for, so I will bow to your knowledge and watch from the sidelines. Hopefully, some of your expertise will rub of on us.

Do you think they are going to go down in popularity? Will Wolverine be more or less popular five years from now when he is firmly established in the MCU? Will his increased presence make him less popular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for joining our meager little board. No this is a reply to someone who immediately goes on the attack in a predictable little dictator way. There is an unpleasant niche element of comic book collectors who think they are above everyone else and demand what should and shouldn’t be discussed as if they own the subject. They think anyone who looks to invest should be treated like trash and that’s what I predictably got, i.e. “how dare you soil our forum with talk of money, go away and watch one of your movies you foul little creature”. Almost all the replies here are polite or at worst tongue in cheek humour. I don’t pretend to know anything more than the average collector as my words here have shown, but I won’t bow down to rude arrogant bullies like the person who replied and yourself.

If what the current run of The Punisher does continues, it might destroy the character completely. if he can survive being an angel, the hand is no problem Muno42 and Gonzimodo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robot Man Posted March 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2022 We are in crazy times right now. Prices need to stabilize a little before I would consider “investing” in them.

ASM 265 comes to mind as an example. I believe your return will be significantly higher with much less risk than buying a Daredevil 1 (just as an example). Its good advice and the investor in me agrees, but I suppose the collector in me loves owning some of the blue chips just to look at and know I own it. I wouldnt swap 100 Hulk 181s for my AF15 if I was given the chance to go back in time even if that makes sense from a return point of view. Stupid I know else why label those comics as investments if you cant park the comic book reader in you Math Teacher and Beige 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have a crystal ball or anything, but I cant see everything sticking at current market prices. My personal opinion is a lot of the early Batman keys, particularly GA ones, are solid investments right now. Yes, they are jumping in price but they have been undervalued for a long time so it is more of a market correction than anything. I was looking here but they all seem so highly priced and never do anything exciting price wise (not in the ones I can afford) I turned down a batman 1 (ok in a 2 only, but hell batman 1) about 15 or so years ago because it just seemed silly money. I cant remember how much but think less than 10k, or at least my memory has convinced me it was. Not sure what of the affordable ones I would go for. Despite owning 608 retailer the modern ones dont excite me but that seems to be where any movement comes from. Like the idea of a golden age batman but remember these purchases I make are only every 2 years or so now and I want to make them count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
