| If you were to drop $1,000 today, what would you snap up? Graded or raw? Age? What would you do? | ||

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

| If I had $1,000 burning a hole in my pocket I might go for this book. Someone has it on ebay for $999.  |

| Great options! I am getting a sense there are a lot of X-Men fans here. Would you invest the entire amount in one book or into a couple books? | ||

| 64 is the last one I need for an entire Uncanny run so that's the only reason I would shell out a stupid amount. Honestly, I would probably upgrade my #3 and a few others with $1k and buy a nice VF copy of 64. All raw purchases. | ||

| The two comics at the top of my list right now are Looney Tunes 1 and Little Dot 1. Unfortunately $1000 wouldn’t go far for either of these. You could probably get a complete beater copy of Dot for that or a fair range Looney Tunes, if you can find them! The other two books I am hot to have are St John’s Casper 4 and 5 in north of fine condition. The thousand would probably be enough for both of those if you bought at guide price, but again, good luck finding them. I have been looking for a long time and have come up empty! | ||

| I'd only spend that much on a Marvel silver age key. Something that presents well but obviously low grade. If there was nothing that fit my price, I'd keep the money. | ||

| I’d say Batman 121 (1st Mr. Freeze) , but sadly, you can’t even get a 4.0 for $1k. Probably Amazing Spider-Man #4 in 3.0-4.0 range. A nice Amazing Spider-Man #50 (7.0 range) would be a good pull as well. A 9.8 1st print of TMNT #2 would be a possibility too. |

| I almost suggested that book. It has absolutely exploded as well. About two years ago, my wife got me a CGC 8.0 for quite a bit less than that. |

| @Darkseid_of_town and @xkonk I was not thinking of GS X-Men 1 because I had my eyes on high grade CGC copies that skyrocketed, but that is a great choice. I was also looking at FF52s, which seem to have cooled a little and likely to go up again in the near future. I am checking out each of the options mentioned above too. To all: Who are the best people/companies to handle pressing and cleaning? |
