What would get you to sell your most prized comics?

[ashrael]

Ransom, Double Guide, or a really sweet GA key issue

I got a 1973 lotus for $12,000 once, and another time a 1972 Ford Pantera for a song, an 1984 1.5 million dollar ferrari (288 gto) would do it for my comics, still holding a couple sentimentals back but nothing $$. Soooo my estate would probably enjoy the fruits of my efforts of the last 27 years.. And rightly so, I'm a cad.

hello all...

A few years ago, I passed on the only opportunity I have had at a 288, and it was 250K...just couldn't pull the trigger at that time, but today, if the same offer was made, it would be a done deal and the comics would go!...however, that said, I would start reaccumulating those books as I could, so eventually, I would have the best of both worlds!

right now double mortgages plus home repair bills and childcare expenses are definitely making it a heck of a lot easier to sell them off and not think twice

hello all...

I have often thought what "item(s)" out there would mean more to me to own, than the comics from the hobby I love...I can only think of one thing that would get me to sell my most prized comics ...and that is a 1984 Ferrari 288 GTO...that is about it...outside of that, I can't readily think of anything that I would want to sell my collection for (short of financial hardship, etc)....

curious about my fellow board members' thoughts...

Kubert war covers

Heath war covers

 

And in a larger rest of my life kind of thing, probably a home or vacation house on Cape Cod

Interesting answers. I inherited my collection without an interest. after a decade I looked at them.

I found these boards and have mixed reviews. I found that in fact I like the Tecs. Of which I have 400 to 700 In my collection. I can part with the rest easily. I am 44 yrs of age and now 85 months from debt free.

[nascar]

So I can part with a couple thousand books Debt free in 50 months

However I will find Rick and invest in a Tec run 27- to 30 somthing I spend all my money Traveling Maybe next trip will be to see Rick. Also My beefed up Celica is paid for :]

One more thing I like the Batman 227 want in 8.0 and up grade anyone?

hello all...

debt sucks, I highly recommend eliminate debt and then spend all your previous debt payments on comics

What about a Enzo or 360 spider convertible

[MutantKeys]

I would sell all my comics for a date with jessica alba

common cars (as far as Ferrari is concerned).

 

The 288 GTO is a rare and exceptional car for its time.

[MutantKeys]

Oh ok, I dont really know much about cars from that time

[Mad Dog]

I cant really think of anything... i have company house/car, no wife or kids, and im medically insured and covered by my company to boot!! So for the moment nothing, but im sure that will change later on..

Meaning you will probably have your comics for a long long time.....

[nascar]

So Rick you have some of those Tecs for sale?

[1koko]

if Rick (hell will freeze over first) ever decides to sell I hope to be on the list.

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes.

 

"If I had all the money I had ever spent on beer, I'd probably go out and buy myself a beer."

Just dont expect all of them to come back from CGC as 9.6

[G.A.tor]

So Rick you have some of those Tecs for sale?

hello all...

not from my personal collection (unless the offer is too good to pass up) ....I already sold all my extra copies (2 copies of tec 29, 2 copies of tec 30, 2 copies of tec 31, a tec 34 and 2 copies of tec 35), but I am always upgrading/downgrading and accumulating, so if I have any more, I will post...
