>that'll be $10,000 + fees + shipping + tariffs + tip please for your bronze age comic booksWhen you start to see bronze and copper age comic books jacked up in price because Gen X think its their turn to rip off everyone else and subsidize their "collection". Be good little goy cattle now its your turn Gen X you earned it amiIright.
>>153515064you know, nobody talking about how it's only worth short term. Investing in Physical media is all about hype. realistically it doesn't really hold as much value as people claim and it's all about demand.Given factors that shape the global Economy like Fertility rate, it might be worth way less in 20 years from now unless rarity of certain copies of comic books increases due to lack of supply
Blame shoe scalpers. I'm not joking. Shoe scalpers have moved on to Pokemon cards and rare comic books because shoes deteriorate over time.
>>153515064same OP as>>153515358he's just really mad other people have things
>>153515457Everything deteriorates over time.Fuck it, There might be no demand for this shit in 100 years if Most of global population just ends up dying due to global famine or Livable life condition for anyone outside of 1% just disappears. The reason the comic book/toy market/etc got to this point is people are desperate to find ways to generate more wealth because inflations outpaces salaries
>>153515064Again?
been buying slabs for a long time waiting for this moment. my time has come.
Slabs are for scalpers.
>>153515443>you know, nobody talking about how it's only worth short term.That's a lot of investment though, you know you're basically keeping this with the idea of selling within your lifetime.A lot of these comics are floated more by popculture notability than people caring about the actual comics themselves, too.
>>153515064what should they be doing? asking claude to create roblox lag factories to groom 9 year olds?
>>153518997Slabbing a comic should be illegal. Selling any floppie over MSRP should be illegal. You are literally committing fraud but the law hasn't caught up yet. And it isn't even your intellectual property. You are disgusting.
>>153515064imagine collecting individual comic issues
>boomersI GOT THIS BASEBALL CARD PRISTINE 1972, IT'S WORTH 5000 BUCKS>gen xSome shit comic from 1992, gimme 10k>millennialsHeh bro 2001 original charizard in the foil, don't lowball me bro, worth 3500 on ebay gradedWhat's the zoomer thing gonna be? rare fidget spinners?
>>153515443>>153518898The answer is very simple and no one- even vaunted Gold and Stock investors on /biz/ want to acknowledge this- but all assets exist to be sold for cash and invested back into something with a great tangible bent like a house or a business that creates cash flow.I see fags on /biz/ constantly cry because they're midwits who want to hold onto their stock FOREVER and get mad if you say "I'm just going to swing while the market is going up" and seethe that the market will go down and I'll "lose money" which is a possibility, but unrealized losses are also losses.Pokemon cards are even dumber, because it's not even a company. It's a toy.
>>153519044>industrycuck hates the free market while defending the concept of intellectual "property"If I didn't know any better, I would've thought you were a fictional opposition character of my creation, kek.
>>153515064Damn I have that same unopened issue of X-cutioners Song. Can't imagine anyone would pay that absurd price, I got it for like 3 dollars at a flea market.
>>153517971What the fuck is the point of buying something and never enjoying it?
>>153515064Market speculation should be outlawed
>>153517971Straight-up fucking demented.
>>153515457Oh they moved on because sneakers deteriorate over time huh? It's not because there was a crazy spike in demand over Covid and the entire industry has spent the last 5 years tweaking supply and cost to meet said demand, even shrinking post boom? Or because sneakers are part of a cyclical fashion industry that's constantly shifting?This is legitimately one of the dumbest things I've read on this site. Like people didn't know sneaker midsoles crumble over time before The Last Dance series came out, Jesus Christ...(AND, AND, the models that had the most hype around them like dunks and Jordan 1s aren't the models with crumbling midsoles. You can find wearable pairs of those models made in your 80s)
>>153515064Reminder that there is overlap.Didio (1962) is a boomer, Quesada (1962) is late-era baby boomer and Brevoort (1967) and Cebulski (1971) are Gen X and they all share the same entitled "Fuck you, I get mine." mindsets.
>>153522530Fuck, typo meant:>Didio (1959)
>>153515064Wouldnt it be easier for marvel and dc to just reprint those comics? It would kill this retaeded speculation market immediately
Literally the most common comics ever, nobody is going to buy these. Basically the comic equivalent of those fat women who think they're going to get 1000 dollars for Disney clamshell tapes.
>>153521086to make money, idiot
>>153522761They do anon. The value isn't in the comic issue's contents itself, but the historical value of it based on the original time it came out. The value is in the first print because they were often discarded not knowing the worth it would have for historical reasons later on. A reprint is inherently without that value because it was made specifically because the original was so desired. But it's not the original, a reprint will have slight differences indicating it was printed later.
>>153515064These comics are shit.
>>153515064>I just look for stuff to get mad about.
>>153515443Exactly, call me when someone actually buys it at that price.
