$1000 is handed to you to invest long-term in CGC Copper Age what do you do?

[ComicConnoisseur]

Scenario: You have $1000 of disposable income to invest long-term(5 years) in getting some Copper keys. What do you pick?

criteria these must be CGC`ed and dates are 1980 to 1992. so no Walking Dead advice.

These will not be for a quick flip, you spend the $1000 now and hopefully in 5 years you will have a little profit. Since you guys are the experts like to hear your pros and cons thoughts.

Slabbed TMNT # 1.

[zuckuss2003]

Agreed, a TMNT 1 in 8.0, then use the change to get an New Teen Titans 2 in 9.6 if you can.

Copper is my era, so almost everything I buy is for me. To buy and flip in 5-10 years I would buy all the CGC 9.8, 9.9 and 10.0 Dave Stevens covers I could get my hands on.

Is deathstroke in for a major upswing?

Yes (I'm speculating )

[Marvelfangirl]

I would get TMNT #1 CGC copy for a long-term investment

[supapimp]

buy as many NM 98 CGC 9.8's as i can.

[Bosco685]

Yes, you all should go buy TMNT books. Great investment! (thumbs u

 

That'll keep you busy while I grab all the other books that are REALLY worth purchasing. BWHAAAHAAAAHAAAAA....

My dastardly plan is working!

 

[ft88]

If you could put some work into it, I'd look to buy VF or better STAR comics in bulk/lots and then sell them off individually.

 

For key and liquid books TMNT 1 and Teen Titans 2 seem pretty blue chip.

I like the high end Dave Stevens classic covers as well, that seems like a no brainer depending on cost.

I wouldn't recommend this. I think after the Deadpool movie craze dies down, NM 98 will go down. Hopefully not, but...

the keyword is "long-term".

It's the only thing that makes sense!

I would rethink the plan and purchase Silver Age but I know what it's like to buy outside your genre. It doesn't satisfy for the long term.

I'm not sure buying a lot of 9.8's is worthwile, the census is just killing the prices

on most 9.8's . I would also not buy volume but buy one or two quality books. Consider a couple desirable 9.9's.

I have to agree. Concentrating too much on one title/individual comic in multiples could be dangerous when purchasing Copper and Modern Age books. It's very rare when a given series holds its long-term value.

 

That's why I buy what I love versus investment value. But since we are talking about investing $1,000, go for diversity where you can.

but this question is in the copper age thread, so i'm assuming copper books.

I'm just saying both period of comics are going through the same challenge with a large amount of high-grade books, with some rare instances of - well - rarity.
