If it's a White page, no Marvel Chipping copy with eye-popping colors & registration - then it's probably a nice pick up. -bc KCOComics and SkOw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpressim Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Yes, too much. Make an offer for $25K. A 4.0 was just $25K a few months ago. Now you can get one for $20 ish if you wait a bit over time. As for long term investment, that is a tough question. Hulk 1 will always sell in a day, but gonna be some time before its worth $30K again. You have to think how long you will be holding. Not in next 2 years though. KCOComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miraclemet Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 @Invest right now is an interesting time to make a big buy. A lot of keys are currently contracting in price, post COVID inflation. You look at ANY big dollar SA key and you see down arrows from late 2021 to today in terms of prices paid. A lot of the set prices you're going to find (BINs, retail, shows) are going to be prices set back when the market was higher, OR you're seeing a seller who bought when the market was higher and is under water in a book and hoping to stop/limit the bleeding on the book. An AF15 in 4.0 is currently selling for around $31-$36k depending on how it presents for the grade and the print quality. The same book was selling for $50k+ in instances 2.5 years ago. Has it settled, probably. Some sellers might also still be living in the illusion that the price can return to the COVID heights prices soon, so they dont want to drop their prices. Your best bet is to try to win in an auction rather than pay a retail sticker price. All the same things can be said about an IH1, just slightly different prices. IH1 in 5.0 is about a $25k book. It's COVID high was $60k. The interesting thing about IH1 is that its census numbers are the lowest of the 1st era Marvel keys. Only 1500 blue grades vs 2500 of AF15. Which makes it even more appealing. KCOComics, SkOw and Primetime 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the contrarian in me would argue, this is the perfect time to buy. Prices have been falling for more than a year and have nearly cut in half from their pandemic highs. Could they keep falling??? Sure. But when everyone is going one way, it's often a good time to go the other way! Also, like with stocks, it's really hard to time it perfectly - so the best time is when you have the right opportunity. You have $$ and find the right book at the right price. - that copy at MCS doesn't look like the right opportunity, but keep your eyes open. It's a common enough book that it will be at auction frequently and people sell privately through Instagram and here. And the big dealers often have copies. I would also be prepared to hold it for a few years. I wouldn't make a big purchase expecting a quick flip.
