Is X-Men 1 CGC 9.0 at $46,995 a wise long term investment?

[oakman29]

I'm curious. Long term being 20 years

 

 

Yes. I heard that the X-Men will appear in the next Avengers movie. We all know what will happen to the X-Men then. Just like AF #15. Right to da moon.

 

Are you in a drogue daze right now? Can't you show some respect to a new member?

 

Do you want an apology too?

Highest grade in your collection ? I see a few 9.4s.

Are you swinging over this book?

[Gotham Kid]

I think Cal and BatFace together can account for 90% of IMSMs graded.

[1950's war comics]

They are about 0.0001 % of the way to cornering the market........

Sorry for the confusion, those are all Calamerica's, just a different picture. There can't be 2 people out there stupid enough to hoard this issue, can there?

For Long term investments DC is your best bet..They have lower print runs and that means less issues in Minty'ish condition available

 

[Ronnie129]

When I say DC I mean Golden Age and some Silver Age stuff..Nothing else

[MustEatBrains]

The thread that keeps on giving...

[JollyComics]

Have you thought about buying as many copies of this book as can? Trying to corner the market?

 

 

That's pretty funny.

 

Over a decade ago, for several years on ebay I noticed that there was one guy who bought pretty much every copy of that one-shot - but I suspect you might know that.

 

 

 

 

 

The "Duke" of IMSM 1

 

Happy Birthday Jack !

 

 

Oh sheesh! My wife will kill me for that suicide investment.

Maybe I would buy 1,000,000 copies of Avengers vs. X-Men #0. Avengers vs. X-Men also ties into the limited series AVX: VS.

 

It will be a brilliant investment. Very cheap!

Anytime someone brings up comics as an investment, people start posting garbage like this.

Changing directions here a bit:

 

Listening to music while reading comics?

 

I listen to quiet/ambient stuff like Brian Eno's "Music For Airports." Something as listenable as it is ignorable.

[CAHokie]

There is a thread for that already

[NoMan]

sorry.

[passion4comics]

You couldn't sell it for half that two years ago. Just keep that in mind....

[Kevin76]

Just get yourself AF 15, Hulk 1 or a FF 1 in the highest grade 50K will get you. Can't go wrong.

[NoMan]

Lots a great ideas. I'm still months away from pulling trigger. Still doing research.

 

Like More Fun 52 that Mister Esquire had in the GA thread. 10k short, tho.

 

The key Marvel SA stuff is a thought.

 

Somehow I got into thinking I could afford a nice grade for Detective 31. Hahaha

 

Having fun just relearning the ropes.

 

 

[oakman29]

Only one book, why?

Why not get an AF15,FF1,Hulk1,Xmen1,JIM83,ToS39,and Daredevil 1 for the same 50K.

Just not the route I've decided to take.

 

It's funny (but I dandy-fine problem to have), when I was a kid in the late 70s and early 80s collecting, I was always $5.00 bucks short for a $15.00 book I wanted. Now I'm 10k short on 60k book(s) I'd like.
