Most don't even maintain their original sales price. djzombi and JTLarsen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the blob Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I have never lost money on variant speculating. In part because I have never paid more than $1. Beastfeast and fastballspecial 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the general sense he really isn't wrong. Only a very small % of variants increase and gain over time.

Getting this graded would be more for your personal collection then an investment. Jackhartmann and Mighty Hal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Very small % of variants' - really general sense ... On another Forum where comics supposedly heat up, a so-called 'pundit' said - 'rarity does not equal desirability'. All valid 'general' viewpoints - depending on who's selling, who's buying, who's collecting, FOMO, price buy-in, price sold, profits expected, time sold, etc. and many other factors. But I digress !
