B2D327 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I always regret selling a book but sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do adampasz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FineCollector Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Before Rocket Racoon was a thing, I'd bought a midgrade copy of his first appearance for $3 at a con. I was buying magazines indiscriminately, so I didn't know it was a first appearance, I bought it for the Satana cover. When the movie news first hit, my copy went from a $3 magazine to a $30 magazine. My LCS had a customer asking for it, so I sold it. It quickly turned into a $300 magazine. Oops.

CAMPER49 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 When my older brother was getting married in the early 1990's, he bought everyone in the wedding party some really nice gifts. He bought an absolutely perfect copy of ASM #50 for me...crisp pages, perfectly centered cover, bright colours, no creases, flat, square corners, etc....looked like it came right off the newsstand that same day. About 4 or 5 years after that, money was really tight, just out of university, had to pay bills so I sold the ASM #50 for $200 to a local collector. Wish I had kept that book.

One of the books i'm hoping to get. If I pick up a low grade copy of it I should get it signed by Vincent D'Onofrio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Detective Comics 40 so I could buy a movie poster. Superman 2 and Green Lantern 1 for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KryptoMayor Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I regret selling my War Comics 1 that I bought on the board. I had it graded and sold it for the same price that I paid for it. I was out of pocket on the grading fees. It's a very rare book that I wish I had back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaway29 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Ugh, I try to avoid this train of thought...otherwise I'll drive myself crazy. I'm bad about dwelling on the past... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Page of Infantino Supergirl Art... Sold it for $500 over eBay + shipping in late August of 2016 (Maybe early September). Guy REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted it... and I was saving up for the house. He also told me what a fan he was of the piece and if I had any more art from that era or of that title and character he would love to add it to his collection. A couple of months later* @Columbia Comics sends me a text message that the page I sold to the guy that REALLY REALLY wanted it, is in that month's CLink Auction. I won it back for $260. Sometimes these things have a way of making their way back home. However I have sold off a LOT of things that I cannot remember because at the end of the day they really did not matter. On the other hand though... that ASM page has come up for sale over CLink again and for yet another time I have missed owning it. *Literally a couple of months later. This would mean that it was handed over to CLink almost immediately for it to appear in the November auction.
