Ok...I'm a marvel guy....so I'm lucky I loved these books....always invest in these because the movies and are hot and the stories are better.
Rules to follow when investing.....
1-Buy Marvel...ok...I know I can be proven wrong so many times saying this...but someone has to have the balls to tell the truth....60/70 or 80 years ago people read comics too and are worth a hundred or two now when the most popular was romance and war stuff....a old timer during WW2 spent 10 cents on a book and its worth 100 or more if they coveted it all these years. I say concentrate on Silver Age Marvel....Already proven and should hold true for another 30 years or so....you will see you return on your investment!
2-Can I take my current collection and and have CGC crack my CGC/PGX/CBCS case and grade it after a CCS pressing? Yes....So far my Avengers 4 went from 6.5 to 7....PGX GS xmen1 PGX 8.5 went to 8.0 CGC. JIM 83 5 to 5 @ white pages..spiderman 129 7.5 now at 8 and they keep coming....The focus is take a good look at two things....the date at when your CGC were graded and see if it was 2012 or before people were pressing and of course look at the book and see if you feel it's possible to get a "bump"....etc....CGC has been good to me and hold a higher tier when and if you want to sell them...If not ok....but look at your stuff in your inventory and see if you can raise money inside the comics you already own by having them pressed and re-graded. I had CCS/CGC press my comics and am so happy with the results....CBCS grades books are selling for like 10-20 percent less than CGC...and PGX ...well I would buy one if it looked ok but the price would have to be soo cheap...and they are. I will have to sell extra stuff I have to pay for this...but again....I need to consolidtate
3-Always buy a Silver Age Marvel Key cheap over a ton of variants of modern age books with a bunch of hype.
4-Sell your books prior to a movie release for big gain...or hold and maybe they will continue to go up.
I understand getting all tied up in a book you really like....but get your money tied up in things WORTH MONEY.
I hope I did not trigger anyone and am not waving flags or anything....Point of order. LOL To-be continued....

People should buy what they like. I differ from you as DC is almost 75% of my collection. I am 9 issues short on Batman and 26 issues short on Detective from owning them all. I've seen a good return on my investment.

I agree with that. The thing I agree with most is "get your money tied up in things WORTH MONEY"
If people want a first appearance now and the value has escalated, time will make people want it more.
