the book that was the no turning back point for me was a modest book compared to some others listed. but until this book i was spending 20 dollars tops. i had the mentality of more is better. i always felt that if i came home from a con with 20 books that is much better then just one. even if that one is of a much higher quality. of course that has all changed. thanks to a raw 9.4 avengers 93 that i paid 70 bucks for about 7 years ago.

i know it’s not much, but it’s the one that did it for me.

My firsts....

 

 

 

$500+: $515 for X-Men 1 in 3.0

That was a steal

[hockey&comicsguy]

Can't remember anything from under 100 bucks.

 

First $100+ Batman 181 CGC 7.5

First $200+ ASM 129 CGC 7.5

First $300+ Giant Size X-men #1 CGC 7.5

First $400+ Not yet in my possession but soon to be slabbed Golden Age issue of something, haven't decided just what book yet.

[october]

My firsts....

 

 

 

$500+: $515 for X-Men 1 in 3.0

That was a steal

 

As much as I don't really like superhero stuff, that's one of my favorites. It's just neat owning one of the big SA keys....even in low grade.

[thirdgreenham]

$100 Space Family Robinson 1 maybe a 6.0 (still don't know why I bought those )

$150 Sgt. Fury 1 (got a while back, got it graded CGC 8.5)

$500 Tales of Suspense 39 (graded CGC 4.0)

$1000 and up? ...not yet, hopefully a nice high-grade DC war key book

In the late 1970s or early 1980s I remember buying a nice Daredevil #1 for $70. That was my first really big purchase.

 

Lately:

 

$250+: Batman #36, raw, probably Fine-ish.

$500+: Brave and Bold #1, CGC 5.0

$1000+: Phantom Lady #15, CGC 7.5

 

I did buy the Phantom Lady before the Brave and Bold though...

[Lazyboy]

I'm going to start a bit lower than everyone else.

 

$20+: NM- ASM 252 for $21.00

$25+: VF Daredevil 158 for $25.XX

$50+: That's gonna be one hell of a book!

[chromium]

first $50+ book ASM #300 in VF/NM

first $100+ book FF #57 in NM-

first $250+ book FF#5 in VG

first $500+ book FF#2 in VG

first $1000+ book FF#1 in 2.0

first $1500+ book ASM #1 in 3.0

first $2000+ book AF #15 in 3.0

 

The disturbing thing is that they are all in buying order.. and each purchase was a boundary that I promised myself I wouldn't cross....

[drice6900]

 

Avengers #1 CGC 7.0 for $1500 in 2004. Won on Ebay, and the seller was local to me, so I met with him for pickup. He was selling his childhood collection, including ASM #1 and FF #1-4. Highest I ever paid for a comic

[Raphael]

an Avengers #1 cgc 7.0 for $1500? isn't that a really good price?

[drice6900]

an Avengers #1 cgc 7.0 for $1500? isn't that a really good price?

 

At the time is was at guide, now it is a good price

[Point Five]

First $100+ book: Weird Fantasy #21 in 6.5

First $500+ book: Detective #39 in 2.0

First $1000+ book: ASM #1 in 3.0 ....but only after selling my ASM #300 9.8 did I cross that threshold.
