If you can't find us at the show, I think that $500 would go better towards glasses, contacts or Lasik  Right side of the room against the wall.

I'm just trying to figure if I have bought stuff from you before...

Are you across from RR?

You have some nice stuff...

That Taskmaster is beyond my reach at the moment I think.

Not sure who RR is.  When you walk in, we'll have the first three tables against the right wall, not the ones beside the bar.  

We will have three AF 15's on our wall, because as good as Eric is at buying them, selling them is a different story.  

 

Look forward to meeting you.

I think that's a hot book actually.

And with the current temperature of movies it might be a good idea to invest in.

If I were a speculator, I would buy 10 9.8s right now $500 each, really.

Biggest mistake you ever made was merging

[Ken Aldred]

I wouldn't spend it.  Too little value for money at present.

It doesn't buy much.

What would you buy.

And would it be graded or raw?

 

 

 

If I had $500 to spend and did not want to exceed that, I would find the best raw copy of ASM #50 to buy.

If I had $500 to help contribute to a book I want, it would be ASM #129. I would aim to find a nice 7.0-8.0 range raw book and not exceed $900

RIGHT!  Tell me about it.  All he does is sits around drinking now.

Someone has to do the real work like moving the long boxes.

I’m always conflicted between buying some kind of key and buying what I want. Not too often do the two cross paths.

Sometimes it's better to focus on collecting for the hobby than to turn profit, definetly makes it more enjoyable.

I totally agree...

I have runs in books I know won't increase in value, but I wanted them.

Even a New Mutants 26 9.8 just because of Legion.

I do have about $500 to spend, and I suspect that I will use it to fill a long box or so out of bargain bins.  

At my last convention, I bought something like 107 books for $92 .

As far as more expensive books, I'm on the look out for nice mid-grade copies of TOS 58 and 59, and TTA 57, 59, 60, and 93.

Honestly, I'm not interested in most books these days because prices are just loony.

[Crops068]

Decent 6.0-ish raw copy of Iron Man 55.

[Callaway29]

I’ve got the hots for this book at the moment:

HULK 162 CGC 9.6 W

[IbukiLord]

Would go down to my local LCS and pick up these which they currently have and I'm slowly working my way down the list but this is what I have left to buy.

 

All new wolverine #2 9.8 cgc

Batman #1 new 52 9.8 cgc

Supergirl #18 Artgerm variant 9.8 cgc

Teen Titans #12 9.8 cgc

Ms Marvel #1 turner cover raw then send to cgc

 

I think that would be close to $500 of comics. Don't care much about what they may or may not be worth I just like these books.
