I have no idea what I would spend for $1,000 For me, most books I want aren't worth a $1,000 or they are worth way MORE than $1,000 The $1,000 range is an odd one for me. Two heavy hitters would be Hulk 181 9.6 and Giant Size X-Men 1 9.6 I wouldn't mind an X-Men 101 SS 9.6 but still not a $1,000 lol! Closer to 2. .... a thousand dollars. I honestly don't think I would buy anything. |

Interesting video. Good luck finding a 9.2 #1 at all! I don’t doubt you could get the $2500 pretty easily. I think Scooby-Doo 1 has the most upside of any Bronze Age comic. That’s why I decided to buy in now. Not only are we talking about one of the most iconic characters of all time, but the supply of these in grade is drastically lower than most of the Bronze Age superhero stuff. | ||

Scooby-Doo #1 is on my list as well, I just have some that are a higher priority at the moment. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by jgzachary13 If you want high-end, maybe a Batman Adventures 12 (9.8 would be tough for $1000, but a 9.6) or NYX 3? Harley has at least one more movie in the next couple years, and Laura Kinney will be in something eventually. On the pressing front I've only every used CBCS but they seemed to do a great job. I've seen lots of other people recommend CFP https://www.cfpcomics.com/ |

I was born the same year as Scooby-Doo, 1969, and am a first generation Scooby fan. In the ‘70s, Scooby was my absolute favorite bar none! My daughter loved Scooby-Doo growing up and so does my grandson. Scooby-Doo’s popularity will endure forever, IMO. | ||

I still remember the Saturday morning where they introduced Scrappy Doo. One of the biggest disappointments of my life up to that point ☹️. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by michaelekrupp Yeah. From a kid’s perspective, up to that point, Scooby was special because he could talk. But Scrappy spoke perfect English? So, this made Scooby look like he was the simple minded uncle. |

Not only that, but he effectively “broke up the band”. I found myself wondering where the rest of the gang went. | ||

I was in this situation earlier this year. I bought an ASM 300 CBCS 9.6 and spent the remaining $350 on a variety of other books. To do it again now that I have my 300... maybe a Silver Surfer 1. I like to get books that have investment potential, but I also have to like them. This narrows my search drastically. I really want an FF1, but $1K isn't getting me more than maybe a cover. Maybe GRR FF1, but it's not the same. |

For what it's worth, I agree with hulk 181. Every grade I own has jumped significantly in cost. Some of them have doubled and tripled what I paid. Granted we are talking quite a few years. I have quite a few of the other books mentioned in various grades and nothing has increased in value as much and in the same time frame. |
