    • @Robs.fatstax

      Yes, my first time at HeroesCon I was blown away. The only thing I dislike about it is that I live so far away. This prevents me from digging too much in the small books as its not worth transporting them home. HeroesCon for me is all about hunting bigger books and the creators. The other thing that stands out is the sheer lack of modern books compared to Bronze and Silver.

  • @DiggerJim7202

    • @Robs.fatstax
      @Robs.fatstax  7 місяців тому

      HeroesCon is by far the king of Cons for comic book collectors. Every vendor there had good stuff, and if their prices were high, they tended to know it, and would deal accordingly. Its why it continues to be the one Con I travel across the country to attend.

  • @GeekAficionado

    • @Robs.fatstax
      @Robs.fatstax  7 місяців тому +1

      Thank you. Its important when looking for bigger books and going to these conventions to have a plan. Also when you find the book you like and the price is fair, strike, while you might find a slightly better deal later in the day, there is never the guarantee, and that book may disappear. Ultimately, have a plan. Cheers.

    A great Haul from Heroescon. It was a pleasure to meet you (again) and the rest of the crew from C3. Chris Campana is a great guy. He did a great Dare Devil sketch for me. Like you I love getting sketch covers there. I also picked up 3 of my hunt books there, Bloodstone #1 (CGC 9.8), New Mutants #87 (CGC 9.8) and DC Comics presents #26 (CGC 9.6). Over all I am very pleased with my experience there this year. Keep up the great work and awesome videos.

I have 2 Batman 423 9.4 and thinking of selling for a 9.6, likewise I have 3 ASM 252 9.6 thinking of selling for a 9.8. Can you assist in regards to the best investment strategy in these situations?

      I really do not think of comic books as an investment, so I would be the wrong person to provide guidance. Ultimately I would think it depends on how old the book is and how much a high grade copy sells for.
