| FOMO has taken hold with no signs of stopping. Even I have to remind myself, that a book that is priced due to movie or TV hype will soon come to earth. If I miss out, so be it. I will concentrate my efforts on key blue chip comics in the bronze or silver age. Proud to say my flipping hobby has returned 82% since 2017 on books I've sold and increased my PC with some high grade bronze and silver. Again, collect what you love and you can't go wrong. Hoping to drop a new vid on my YouTube channel "Doc Cop Comics" soon with my latest hauls Nuff said.... | ||

| I don't see the massive increases in price as sustainable or as a good thing. Well, it is good if you are selling. That being said, the market driving keys to levels that most people could never afford only causes people to move on to other things as they are locked out. I'm glad I started collecting before all of this nonsense started. I came into the hobby and built a collection when it was possible to do so. Do most new collectors only have 10 to 20 books in their collection now? I can't imagine trying to put the following books into a collection now at 8.0 grades or better 1) Giant Size X-Men 1 (5500.00) 2) X-Men 94 (1000.00) 3) Daredevil 1 (10000.00) 4) TMNT 1 first printing (? What day of the week is it?) 5) ASM 129 (1650.00) 6) Incredible Hulk 181 (5250.00) 7) Marvel Spotlight 5 (2200.00) 8) Fantastic Four 52 (3200.00) 9) X-Men 12 (1950.00) 10) Avengers 4 (4900.00) The capital to do it would be a nice nest egg. Take TMNT 1 out and you are over 30K for the other 9 books. |

| We're complaining about the prices but we are also all looking at the same couple hundred books. Ok, GS X-Men 1 and X-men 94 are through the roof...but just spot checking regular high-grade X-men books (X-men 113, 137, 138, etc) and prices today aren't much different than 2020 or 2019. Maybe it's time for true collectors to not focus on the Wall Books and focus on putting together a high grade collection of the others? I'm certainly more inclined toward the more key Books but I've definitely had to accept Restoration (particularly color touch and trimming) as just a cost of entry for some of the books that I want to own in better presenting grade. | ||

| @EbayMafia Definitely not just those books. I have been looking to buy Marvel comics presents 72 and Wolverine 8. Both have almost doubled. Prices are to the point that I will probably just go raw now. |

| I feel like the speculation nonsense will die off eventually because one minute( INSERT HOT BOOK HERE) is the one to have in your collection. The next day that book that you just spent a bunch of beans on is so yesterday and (INSTERT NEW HOT BOOK HERE)is really the one you have to have. I have a feeling a lot of spec books will fall off the radar. | ||

| @KatKomics Pepperidge farm remembers LOL!! But seriously, eventually most of these hot books won't be able to last past a certain point. Some will survive but in reality the market will always be controlled by what collectors are interested in and not what's going to make them rich. | ||

| Daredevil #9 has a gate-fold cover. Does anyone know if that creates an issue with pressing? If so, it might limit the 9.8's. | ||

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| I just looked on Ebay, the price of New Avengers 11 (Maya-as-Ronin) is definitely pulling away from New Avengers 27 (Clint-as-Ronin). That book is finally reaching towards $100 in 9.6 and maybe $200 in 9.8. Given what I read about the big plans for Maya Lopez in MCU, I find it hard to imagine they would not at some point include the Ronin incarnation. | ||

| Y’all are WAAAAAAAAAY late on this spec. David announced this on facebook ages ago, already. He was given royalties a while ago when Echo was announced as being used in the Hawkeye tv show, where she has been announced as being Ronin, eventually. | ||
