TY. "investment" has multiple meanings, same for what they return". celebrate and appreciate life's balances...stay balanced. Fitness and Nutrition, Relationship Time, Family Time, Hobby Time, Work Time, Spiritual Time...all investments in life - maintain balance of these many life-enjoying-investments, and then you can appreciate each - take time to appreciate the investments - and balance yourself within each, enjoy. make sure its FUN. Comics and this hobby, in balance, returns so much, stories, art, inspiration, joy and the community it can also connect one to.
And UF4 is here to stay regardless of the movies. Culturally relevant and will continue to be into the future. Definite long term investment potential. Just look at ASM 300, most graded book ever and always demands a premium relevant to the market.
If I just wanted to do something for just investment wise I do mutual funds to bonds to putting 15% of my wage into my retirement fund. I buy books because I love them first and foremost.. Comics from the golden age became valuable because of scarcity and the important factor as we call it “key”… Secondly no book can be called an investment unless there is value to it. Anything can be a investment.. Jeans to shoes to hats to sneakers you name it can become valuable if demand is there and volume is low.. So to say are comics an investment? Yes,,,why because anyone who is a collector values them as more then a piece of paper a paper that has art inside it..
I have not seen this video.....I will tho.....there is no investment in today's comics that come out every Wednesday...especially ratio books (long term). it's all gold silver and bronze and a bit of copper to where the money is. I am happy people are still buying today's book every week....keep the hobby alive. there are no kids going to comic books shops anymore especially when books go for 5 or 6 bucks a pop. no thanks.
The stock market is at the end of a 15-year bull run spurred on by money printing and artificially-low interest rates, along with the assumption of ridiculously overvalued fundamentals and 35 Trillion in Federal debt. There are plenty of reasons to be more suspicious for future returns in the stock market than in niche collectibles like comic books. You just got to know what you're doing.
“If I didn’t loose money I wouldn’t have bought that book”…… Aaah we have a collector who was hoping it would rise in value. You are a fake collector who wanted a ROI and when the chips were down and it lost money you got very angry… Truth be told you buy it cause you love it not see $$$$ signs in your eyes
@@2hugebros241 I always tell my friends getting into the hobby: “At the end of the day it’s just you and the book, alone in a room.” Even if you’re going to sell it and it’s all listed on eBay and everything, before it sells, it’s STILL just you and the book, alone in a room. If you don’t have love for it, the moment you two are alone in that room you’re gonna feel that right quick. Thats why I don’t use words like “personal collection”. If I buy it, then it’s in my personal collection lol, so why give only some books that special designation?
This was a great video, and panel. Thanks for giving us your time fellas
Great video guys!

Fifteen minutes in, the answer appears to be a resounding no. Let's see if that changes at all by the end.
No change. Terrible investment, but better than no investing at all.

Well put Ricky.. It’s like a love affair then you turn your back on her/him and leave them for someone that’s more worthy..
