I think whatever genre you collect, you gotta have a cornerstone book. 3 years ago I posted a similar thread, and then went on to reboot my collection. I sold my smaller books and replaced them with a single book - my cornerstone book. Now I occasionally add smaller books around it and have the collection and the direction that works best for me. The space saving is enormous- my dog, my wife, and my parole officer all like me better now

This!!!  Selling just seems so daunting though.

Is this in addition to my current collection? If so, the $30k comic for sure.

An interesting point, as everyone seems to be assuming it is in addition to.

I would rather have the 30k comic, as it will be much easier to sell in the future and would be a cornerstone to the collection.  I would add a couple of additional thoughts:

  • As mentioned previously, chances are if you own a 30k comic, you also have $100, $1k, and $10k books in your collection.
  • I know that we have folks from every walk of life on the boards, but generally speaking, it's easy to accumulate $1,000 books through savings or time payments.  In turn, these books can be sold to acquire more expensive books.  It takes some patience and determination, but it can be done, without compromising on the mortgage, family, etc.

I would think your parole officer would like you better with 300 $100 books, harder to skip town than with a single $30,000 book. :baiting:

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 

My initial thought was the 300 books, but when I thought about it a bit, I came to the same conclusion you did.

What about 3 $10000 books?

or 10000 $3 books?

or even 3000 $10 books?

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?

Now we just need @Domo Arigato to create a poll with these options

You were crowned the official forum Poll maker. (tsk)

Besides.....I think he missed a couple of dozen more options that people gave in this thread.

I'd say a poll with at least 5,000 choices should just about cover it.....and no, I'm not giving away another fake forum friendship for doing it.
