But let's be honest, I'm speculating. You are swimming in the deep end and I'm still using floaties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're estimating an obscene amount for the comic. I purchased it in the 90's for 10k, they are projecting over 100k for it. Normally, I wouldn't, but with comics so high, I am concerned that the price, over time, will just go back to 10k or below. They also want me to list my Superman # 1 @ 7.5, Batman #1 8.5, Spiderman # 1 @ 9.4 and Amazing Fantasy 15 @ 5, but I am not too keen on selling those. What would you guys suggest? I've been going back and forth in my mind for years on all of them. I also have others, but these are probably the most coveted. The insurance premiums have been going up as the values continue to climb too. What a great problem to have.. doubt it’ll go as low as 10k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse-Lee Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I still want to see pics! I don't mean that to sound like I don't believe you or something; I do - I just think it'd be really cool to see these. I totally understand if you wouldn't want to post public pics of the books, but if you have no problem with it and you get a chance, that would be really cool!

Nick Furious Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 It sounds like taking some money off the table would give you some peace of mind. If I had your opportunity I would likely sell about $200K worth of books. Buy a $300K rental property with 50% down after paying taxes on the books. Netting $15K per year is a 10% ROI immediately, growing 5%-10% each year on an asset that is likely to hold it's value and increase eventually.
