maz25 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Opinions? This includes books for your own collection to keep/display/pass down to your kids, etc. I have gotten a few back and appreciate the artists attention to personalize with preference of color. Other artists just ignore the request, whether raw or slabbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revat Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Some people like them, some don’t. Probably most don’t. But if you love it, that’s great for you hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougC Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 It depends what will happen to your stuff when you are no longer here. Anything personalized is going to sell for much less than non-personalized and leaving your family the burden of selling your personalized collection of Sleepwalker or Quasar comics will absolutely be a burden. Your personal collection is only a cover for what you own currently or not "wanting" to sell at this very moment, tomorrow is a completely unrelated subject. I hate to say this but the idea of "passing things down" is generally overly romanticized by old people whose real purpose is to tacitly live on in some form afterwards. While obviously not every case colloquially 90% of items left to family are just sold for cash or thrown away since it doesn't suit their interests or just having old people stuff dumped on you isn't really the caring endeavor most want it to be regardless of "value". Speaking of which you might have something that is valuable and the knowledge of how to extract that value, but does your husband have that same knowledge? do your grandkids? or will they be gifted something of value without the tools necessary to maximize it and end up selling it on facebook for 25% of what they could have gotten at in a random comiclink auction? It is something that has to be thought about outside of yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
