Yup 100%. If @Humpty-Dumpty thinks the world is collapsing the last place you should be posting and worrying about is the original comic art market on these boards.
You might as well start stock piling food and water and sell all your assets of any kind and any value.

Thanks.

Recession proof. Crash proof.

Xatari makes a good point that you can’t assume at cash out time there will be an unlimited pool of like minded collectors trampling each other to make you rich.

But for me collecting comic art for 26 years now has made me rich in spirit. Anything else that comes from it is extra.

You are not disappointing me in any way. I have a solid track track record calculated risk. My background in finance so I constantly analyze trend analysis, risk mitigation, and opportunity cost. 

People say “buy what you love”. This is true if you are content with no exit strategy. For those who want to both love what they have and have a viable exit strategy if needed, this is not the best advice. These need not be mutually exclusive. If you want to be able to get out in an emergency, buy what you and others widely love or will love later on.

I have seen people talk about their selling their collection down the road with the current collector market in mind. If you think you are selling in 20 years to this collector group, you may want to rethink your strategy. A wise collector considers who is buying in their sales timeframe. If one thinks they may exit in 20 years, they should think through the pieces and characters who are relevant to that generational collecting group. 

This is where a collector like Thom Fish was WAY ahead of the curve in his early buying. 

Again, I love the art I own and have personal attachment, but I can acknowledge there may be a day when other priorities in life may constitute a need or desire to sell pieces from my collection. That’s just reality for most of us. 

What was Thom FIsh buying way before the curve?

It is definitely a historic piece, 1st Sub-Mariner holding a box while getting out of the water.  I can only imagine what it would go for now.

The history of comics and OA is littered with those who thought they could time the market.
