| So far 2021 has continued my trend of Commissioning original art. This was a warmup the artist did for the sketch cover. It’s too large for a slab but maybe when the magazine slabs are introduced…  The two sketch covers by the artist above were graded and ready to ship out but I caught that CBCS did not properly update the dates they were completed so they were able to stop the shipment and put the books back into the process to get fixed. However, that was just when the turnaround times skyrocketed and I’m still waiting to get these back.   These two books were delivered from the artist to CBC on May 20th. Still waiting to show as received on my account   I was fortunate to get these three back from CBCS this year!      |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| This has been my biggest year for sales in terms of dollars and volume so far. Selling both copies of Brave and the Bold 28 had me sending my two biggest books out the door. Although I bought a lot of books in the last six months I think I bought more big books online last year. |

After some coaxing from the forum I submitted this for press and re grade. It went from a 8.5 with cream to off white pages to the below. |

I've had some great additions to my collection this year thanks to selling off a few books for a decent profit. Notable sales are a WWBN #33 8.0 for $675 before fees after a purchase of $285 a couple months before and a Vault of Horror #26 6.0 that I purchased for $350 in 2020 and sold in 2021 for $750 before fees. Kind of wish I kept that one, but I used the funds to purchase the Plastic Man #33.           |

| This year has been my biggest year as a collector yet (with hopefully more to come!). I love DC and I love rarity, so naturally I added a couple of 10 cent DC keys to my collection. Currently at CBCS (all low grade): Detective Comics #184 (1st Firefly) Showcase #17 (1st Adam Strange) Justice League of America #1 Also picked up: Brave and the Bold #34 CGC 4.5 (1st Silver Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl) I am just about to turn 21 and have a part time gig lined up at my local comic shop once I get back to school. Can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings  (If anyone has a lower grade Flash #105 or #106 for sale/trade lmk... those two are up next!) |

| So this year I’ve also started buying more books for my collection than I did last year. I’ve been lucky in a few auctions and have been able to purchase some significant books for my collected edition collection. Among others:   Part of my comics purchases have been driven by the monthly comic book club we’ve been doing. I got super licky that the book club spurred me to some Sandman purchases just before the news of the Netflix series started exciting sellers. I’ve also had some luck picking up some reprints and promos:      |

Here's something I've always wanted, an X-men comic in the 1-10 issue range. Barely but still counts! |

Somehow forgot about this one since I was only looking at my online purchases with scans available. A great cover with perfect centering. Thanks again @esaravo. |

I've picked up a few gems this year so far. This is one of my favorites though. Wolverine #1 with a double cover. I'll be sending this bad boy in for grading soon. |

Quote:Originally Posted by jokioo @jokioo you sure have a lot of capital invested in comic books for a 20 year old. When I was your age any money I had was invested in consumer goods. Around 19 or 20 is where I really started focusing my investments on immediate consumables. Pizza, Beer, Subway sandwiches. The 7-11 hot station at 2:30 AM was one one of my favorite places to invest. |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders @flanders I've always liked the cover for SHIELD #2 as well as #3. In fact when I went to the Steranko signing I had #2 and #3 signed but not #1.   Another cover that could get caught up in the "cool cover bubble":  |

| @EbayMafia Steranko's signatures are so aesthetically pleasing, it always enhances the covers they're on. | ||
