Quote:Originally Posted by HulkSmash Ha! For all our joking, someone is pumping that kind of money into the hobby, so I wouldn’t be surprised. One of the stats I see a lot is 60 percent of the American public could not handle a $600 emergency, so 40k on books seems difficult to explain. It’s got me really curious... Unless the guy from Arlington sold his whole collection to get that book! |

| I've heard that people from the trading card hobby are injecting cash into comics now, but it wouldn't surprise me if other investors (real estate, Wall Street, precious metals, etc) are getting in on the action. | ||

| There are 13 9.9 graded copies on the CGC census. There is a single 10.0 graded copy using the 13 to 1 ratio that puts it at $546,000 I'll take it!! |

Quote:Originally Posted by Studley_Dudley That makes sense. My guess is there’s anxiety about the stock market and people are finding alternative investments, much like precious metals going up when the market drops. But, for all our puzzlement at insane prices, we don’t often ask where this new money is coming from. I will say that it does feel like a lot of collectors are at the ground floor of a growing market. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Jabberwookie I know right? I don't pay much attention to the ultra high grades - the 9.9s & 10.0s - but when they come up you can't help to think what if? Like the one 9.9 graded Hulk 181 that is probably a $1,000,000 book. I remember a few months ago I saw a 9.9 ASM 361 on the CGC boards for $10,000 I don't know if it sold for that but wouldn't be surprised if it did. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Murmonster I’ve got some books that have only been touched a handful of times, never read and I wonder if I could get one a 9.9 or 10. I couldn’t imagine a major key getting that high. I mean, good for that guy. I’d love to be swimming in my pool that Deadpool bought me... |
