    “Buy something that’s gonna make you happy when you look at it.” This is sage advice. As someone older who is just starting to collect, I quickly figured this was my path to happiness with comic collecting. If it checks that box, I’m not going to lose anything if I buy it because it’ll always bring me happiness. And I love the Dad and daughter videos, you two are fun to watch. 😊

    Excellent advice, as always, and I appreciate the variety of books you look at and discuss. As a fellow appreciator of Neil Adams work it would be great if you did a show on many of his Superboy, Adventure Comics, Action Comics and Superman covers. Many outstanding, under appreciated and low cost books available.

    It would be interesting to compare prices five years from now. I think 2021 was the comic bubble and it inflated prices. Since then, prices have stabilized. I think people have learned their lesson from "extreme" levels of speculation. I think many moderns are dead because they were based on pure speculation. Where as other older books have longevity because people care about the characters and stories (before the comic boom).

    The joker solo series is so popular that it was cancelled after the 10th issue.

    • @erikk.5202
      @erikk.5202 6 місяців тому

      It ran nine issues. As a kid, I only had one copy and really was all about superheroes so this did not interest me. Now, I love it and had to get the whole run.

    Star Wars 1 has a census problem. Even the 9.8’s aren’t rare with over 800 and more being added on a constant basis. It continues to decline since the Star Wars shows have been poor.

    My rule of thumb is I won’t slab a book that’s at least worth 100,,, now signature series is different I’ll get lil cheap books signed just because of the cover and the artist and nostalgia so that’s a different deal . But over all 100 very minimum

    Great show! My buying experience is rather limited, but I have noticed that my copy of Scooby Doo #1 (4.5 off-white to white pages) is still selling for more today than what I paid for it during the boom. I mention this just because it's also a Bronze Age key (and not one that gets mentioned very often).

      @@futurepastvintagecollectables Yep, there's a guaranteed scarcity with those comics aimed at younger kids in the early to mid 70s (in your sweet spot, in fact). Not many were saved in nice shape. Do you happen to have many raw Gold Key Scooby Doos in mid grade or better in your stock?

    I have a lot of those books, (not graded) but I do have a I-M 55 signature series with Starlin's signature and I am not parting with that at all! Starlin Will not sign anything for CGC since he had an incident with them, it became a little scandal and I have a Star Wars 1 that I had Dave Prowse sign in the 70s with pix to prove it. Great stuff.

      It really depends on the books. It seems the ones with the biggest increases due to speculation have been taking the biggest hit.

    I'd add in that the idea that you can flip a book after a year is always a risky if not downright dangerous idea. Comic book investment literally requires decades, not months. The only people I feel for are the dealers who are forced to take these risks due to customer demand.
    I've got books I've bought off the shelf, or from a dollar box that literally go for a thousand. But it requires being a collector who stays in the hobby for years.

    I wish my daughter and son would have gotten into comics. I only had 30,000 comic books laying around that were there to excite them, didn't happen. My son got into that X-Box thing. I watch you two and wonder what could have been. Rachel IS the star of show! I do CGC slabbing for my primary living. The market is horrifically down, but all good. It's that market cycle thing.

    Rule 1: Collect what you enjoy, irrespective of its potential monetary value. If your collection gains value over time, that's a bonus.
    Rule 2: If you're considering collecting for long-term investment, prioritize the condition. Aim for high grades in gold, silver, or bronze age books. For modern books, look for at least a 9.8 or 9.6 grade; anything lower may not hold significant value.
    Rule 3: Practice patience. There's no need to rush. With a lifetime of collecting ahead, the books you desire will eventually become available at the price you're willing to pay.
