When I started collecting again after several years I started with all modern mostly raw and getting them graded. Sold them all over a 3 year time and got me af 15. There is nothing wrong with a 9.6 for collecting or even investing. Like it was said before if u can learn to figure the grade of a raw book you can make great purchases for high grades to keep it or like I did sell for a personal grail. Goodluck | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by PaulPop I don't know about talking slow and using small words, but in that spirit I'll be direct. When someone asks if they are making a poor or risky investment by purchasing 9.6 graded books instead of 9.8 - then I think it's safe to assume they are talking about moderns. Moderns since the 1990's on, not the modern CBCS grading tier that starts in 1975. We would all be tickled shitless to own a 8.0 Amazing Fantasy 15. Here is the unvarnished truth. If you are purchasing books that might not be an "investment" because they are "only" 9.6 - then you are already chin deep in speculative purchasing. You'll most likely see little to no appreciation in the value of the great majority of books you are buying. In 9.6 or 9.8. Because lots of other collectors have purchased and saved them in those lofty conditions. And because history hasn't proven which books were hot for a few months and which ones turned out to characters or titles with a long term following. For every Walking Dead, there are hundred titles - maybe a thousand - that went absolutely no where except into the dollar bin. If you enjoy books published the last 15-20 years, by all means collect them. But collect what you enjoy, because history hasn't been written yet on what will hold or gain value. If you want to invest - move into investment grade material. Older books of special significance. |

Because it's hard to read a book when it's 9.6. | ||

I absolutely think it is ok to do so, especially on some books where the premium for 9.8 is so great. It does ultimately come down to why you collect slabs, and if your ultimate goal is top $, maximum profit, or building a great collection. | ||
