Most recently, I regret selling JiM #85 4.5 to help finance my purchase of my AF #15 2.5. I sold it for $1,500, and it is now selling for $6,000+. I am very happy to have my AF #15, but that is one book I will probably never get back.

Join the club. I sold my JIM 85 6.5 WP to someone on these boards last year for $2200.  Yikes

I traded ASM 129 8n cgc 4.5 

And

Silver surfer #4 in 8.0 cream to offwhite for this statue

I seriously don't know anything about statues.  Do statues appreciate in value?  Or are they depreciating asset for collectors who buy them to display?

They mostly stay the same, provided you keep up with any large shipping boxes they come in etc.

This one in particular has gone up maybe $200. I traded win the ASM #129 4.5 and the SS#4 8.0 cost me and was worth about $400 a piece. I've since replace the 8.0 with a 4.0, that has appreciated

Not a total loss but dang hahah

I'm gonna feel like this when I sell asm 300 9.8

FF 1 CGC 3.0 SS Stan Lee - Sold the book for $4.5K on Reese's Rare Comics (at the time, fair market value) with the intention of upgrading it to a 4.0 blue label.  Got the money from the sale but Reese's never came through with a 4.0 and two weeks later, my 3.0 SS Stan book went up in value to $10K+.  I trusted people where I shouldn't have.  I should have put a $10K price on the book until a 4.0 was found but with hindsight, it's easy to know what should have been done.  Sadly, I dissolved my FF collection after that knowing that I will never have the opportunity to afford another FF 1.  Still irked about it to this day!

Well, I ended up looking at it this way. Yes, I could have held on to my JIM #85, and then sold for over $5,000 now. However, the current price of an AF 15 2.5 has increased to over $25,000. I would never had been willing to spend $25,000 for an AF #15 (or for any other comic books, for that matter).

$8000+ for a 9.8 for a direct edition. Newsstand would be well over $10k.

Yes....yes it has

[eddly]

It is what is. Can’t dwell on it. My other books have gone up in value too to more than cover my “loss” on the ASM 300.

Like stocks, once you sell,  don't look back.  It's dead to you.

So the question becomes what did I do with the money from things sold.

This.

I am still pulling my hair for selling my full runs of Ghost Rider and Werewolf by Night, among other books, especially when looking at what prices 9.4 and 9.6 copies of WBN #32 sell for today 

However, with the proceeds of the sales, I was able to purchase high grade slabbed copies of FF #3,13 and Hulk #2,6

Sure I should have just bought them without selling the others but I always have an annual budget for comics and if I go over that, I tell myself that I need to sell some stuff to finance the extra I spend over the budget.

Of course, if I had a crystal ball, I would have bought them all but I still cannot predict the future.

ASM 300 Newsstand CGC 9.8 signed by McFarlane went for a whopping $25K on ComicLink auction last week. Record price.

Had a GS X-Men 1 CGC 9.8 OW/W perfectly centered bright cover that was in storage for decades- graded and sold for either $4500 or $5K 7 yrs ago.

I had 3 ASM 300s in 9.8 I bought raw for now more than $500 each from a lCS, Sold all of them between 22-2400 each at the height of the Venom movie hype was around, Almost kept one but decided just sell it and fund more books to resell...still should have kept one though. 

I don't wanna talk about me selling slabs 20 years ago... **Shivers**

I've got the anti-thesis to this thread. 

In 2019 I was having my (formerly) annual Halloween sale and listed some tasty books at a small premium over GPA or comparative price per points calculations.

Luckily those books did not sale and they've been in the crypt since.

• Silver Surfer #4 9.6
• Doctor Strange #169 8.5
• Special Marvel Edition #15 9.6
• Ghost Rider #1 8.5 WHITE

I think it's close to time to re-dig-em out.
