The market has gone through the phase we are seeing before. The 2021 spike may have been more like the 1993ish market top, but the run up, consolidation for a couple of years, then run up again pattern is a 5-7 year process. 

FWIW, right now I am setting all time GPA highs on eBay every couple of weeks on common slabbed SA and BA books (the latest one was my Avengers #88 CGC 9.6 that had no takers on the boards for much less  ). This is a good sign IMHO as when the run books creep up it sets the stage for the rest of the market to move upwards again. I expect 2023 to be a stabilizing year for keys as they hit the bottom of this plateau phase due to the likelihood of a recession, and then we should to start to see prices move forward again in 2024. 

That being said, there will be plenty of opportunities to find books in $1-$2 bins that can be flipped for more as there will still be new streaming/movie announcements.

Sell Marvel

Buy DC

I think with the DCU under new direction, the comics might finally have their day in the sun.

Or just buy what you like and what you can afford

Psst you gotta stay in Ebay's good graces too. 

I am sick of losing 10-15% and doing all that work. 

And Uncle Joe's $600 reporting thresshold just turned me off to the process, I am not good with paperwork.

Luckily my 11 year old will be opening up an online presence soon.
