| You do run the risk of someone else buying it before your chosen book ends up in one of the code word specials selected categories. The code word doesn't work on consignment items. |

| @Danimal1112 And the codeword only works for certain "classes" of books each week. For example, the codeword for one week might only apply to: DC A-L & #'d titles X-Men titles Dark Horse titles Horror titles So you have to watch and see when the codeword applies to your books of interest. However, as @DrWatson said, there is always the risk that someone else is watching and will snag it before you do. |

| ASM 129 is undervalued. Because for decades it was roughly the same value as Inc Hulk 181. So it would be my choice. But my answer is plan to get both. Buy first whichever one comes up at a good price. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by IronMan Thanks. I decided to go with ASM 129 to start. It’s not a rare book and there’s a lot available online. I am just looking for one well centered near current values. Many being sold online are over priced by a lot. I am keeping an eye on a few auctions coming up. |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders This is good advice. Both books exploded in FMV due to the pandemic speculation boom. Both books are still dropping in FMV. I would not buy either one of them until they reach their pre-2020 spec boom prices. Pull up the historical data trending charts for both books on GPA. Across the board in all grades, you will see a huge jump starting in 2020, and a pretty steady decline starting in early 2023 when the market began crashing. If you look at the charts, they all clearly show these trends, and they still have not corrected to their pre-spec boom prices. Historically, as these charts show, both books have had a slow increase in FMV by around 5% (at most) since the early 2000’s. |
