$1000 is handed to you to invest long-term in CGC MODERN Age what do you do? 5 5

[kevhtx]

Off top of my head:

NYX #3 (wait a bit for a price dip)

Saga #1

X-23 #1 Dell'Otto

Rick and Morty #1 - I think this TV series is still going to grow its fanbase and comic will increase in value some more. Good show, good comic.

There's probably only three books that I truly would invest in with moderns.

1. Walking Dead 1

2. BA 12

3. NYX 3

Solid blue chip keys Oak (though BA 12 falls outside of the OPs date parameters).

I have and continue to believe that this market will either be remembered for its variants or for the Image #1 spec'ing that ended up iinfecting the entire hobby.  

If it's the former, then Batman 608RRP should be considered the start of the modern age.  

If it's the latter, then WD 1 should be.  

They are less than a year apart, but eventually one or the other will win that crown.  

Frankly I hope it ends up as Bats 608RRP because an entire age began by and known for spec'ing really does sound a lot like "the nineties", whereas the types of variants that this age has given us really have been something new and unique about this era of comics.  

Fortunately as of now, it does seem to be drifting towards the "Variant Age" as this age crystallizes and we seem to be coming to an end of it (or at least as we be know it since the likes of Bats 608RRP).

I think one to grab that isn't a variant, something obscure, or an obvious first appearance is Tec 880, which is also surprisingly tough in a blue 9.8 (only 88 on the census out of 360+ copies total).

[WolverineX]

Saga 1 x 2 copies

Seven to Eternity x 4 copies

Then either Batman  655 or 656 x 10 (depending on which you think is the more valuable appearance of Damian Wayne)

Yes you're right.  That's almost as crazy as giving someone $2500 for $1000.

ASM 667 Dell'otto, Batman 608RRP, or Wolverine 1 (2010), Campbell  (Deadpool), in any condition you can find at that price point.  

Honorable mention to ASM 678 (VenoMJ).

Can you still get any of these for $1000? 

[SquareChaos]

Seems like a lot of people would buy books that have already seen a lot of success. Maybe they are just buying for their PC with that $1000.

[Califelix]

I think Ultimate Fallout #4, the Djurdjevic variant, will go up. With Marvel trying so hard to diversify their lineup, and Miles Morales being one of the longest running and accepted changes in comics, I can see him showing up in a movie or getting his own.

Apparently Marvel has publicly stated they are going to roll back the whole forced diversity thing. Whether that impacts relatively established characters like Miles is hard to say.... assuming they follow through, but looking at the shambles their current lineup is in, I don't see why they would double down. Outside of stupidity anyway.

For me, you'd be spot on,

I'd either get a Hughes Supergirl and the LoS #23, Harley #1 or a few Catwoman books.  

[GLCBrad]

With $1,000 I'm buying Invincible #1 and #2 in 9.8 and keeping my fingers crossed that they don't mess the movie up.

 You may have a point there (regarding the ASM 667 Dell'otto, Bats 608RRP and Wolvie 1 Deadpool Campbell)....

[Lethal_Collector]

Good on the Damian Wayne fellas, that'd be a perfect filler if you had $150-ish left to spend of your $1,000.

[DigsUT]

While a Campbell variant might be what my PC wants, the investor in me would go with a NYX #3 CGC 9.8

[Bomber-Bob]

I like books that don't need movie hype and stand on their own with an awesome cover. With that in mind..............

 

[WolverineX]

oooh... Yes I love the supergirl cover... such a grail....    How many of those were made...

It's a 1:10 on a 41,500 distribution, so at least ~4100.
