To sell?

To invest?

To keep?

What am I doing with this 30k?

[DeadOne]

Are the 300 bagged and boarded?

[Ryan.]

I'll preemptively answer all possible questions that may arise as follows: "Yes!"

There was no info or parameters specified in the first post nor in the title. Without knowing more no logical decisions can be made.

Will you sell me your entire comic book collection for $10, shipped to my house? Is Godfather 3 your favorite of the Godfather movies? Is the Earth flat? Is Jesse-Lee a jack-@$$ for asking stupid questions and contributing to the derailing of this thread?

[Ryan.]

Yes!

[Jesse-Lee]

I have about 300 $4 comics, so I'd rather have either, but in general, I think I'd actually rather have the 300 $100 comics, because I think there is more of a chance that some of those could increase in value at a better rate than the 1 $30,000 book. I like the idea of diversifying, and being able to move a portion of the books if I have to.

So, I'd break it down as such: Would I rather have one $30K Matt Baker, or 300 $100 Matt Bakers???

Leaning towards the 300 book club. Easier to buy/sell/trade/upgrade?  One $30k book gets damaged, I'm not happy.  One $100 book gets damaged, I'm not happy either, but less sad.

For selling? No brainer. 300 $100 books.

[Dr. Balls]

If that $30k book is this one:

I'd take that over the 100 books.

30 $1000 comics

 

[Dr Zen]

What about 3 $10000 books?

or 10000 $3 books?

or even 3000 $10 books?

1 $30k book. 

Books you really want worth around $100, you can pretty much buy at any time. A $30k Hulk 1, you can't. Give me the Hulk 1

Good point. I agree with that. 

But for more complete understanding of the OP's proposition - is this an all-or-nothing choice? IOW, you can have only one $30K book or you can have 300 $100 books and THAT'S ALL you can have?

I think the green label 1.0 that was on auction just ended a day or two ago for $25k.

Yeah I see that now! At least it's a Schomburg cover.  But man, these people on Heritage are something else.

Interesting Question. I have seriously considered selling off my collection and getting the best Star Wars #1 35 cent price variant it would buy.  Unfortunately it would not be anywhere close to a 30k copy.
