I keep a book when...
1. it's part of a run or set I'm trying to complete. This could be sequential or artist/creator related.
2. A book has big potential and hasn't reached that potential yet.
3. When a book means something to me, like autographed in person.
4. First appearance of a character I care about.

I sell a book when...
1. I have extras
2. I don't really care about that book and someone else might. As you look through your boxes you realize there are more things that you don't care about hidden in your collection.
3. Occasionally, I sell a book I like, to buy a book I love.

I don't want my collection to mimic everyone else's collection. I want it to make me happy. For example, I know Underdog isn't a popular character but I love him. My collection will have Underdog and Scooby. Harley Quinn, Batman and Spider-man are wildly popular and I love them too. It's not about popular or unpopular, it's about my tastes.

If you love that Venom cover keep it. If you don't, $800 could buy something you love.

I'm not in any major need of cash so it's not rush to sell but I keep on going back and forth in regards to sell now or hold for what could potentially be better days ahead. For example back in 1/28/2020 I bought the 3rd printing of Venom CGC 9.8 on eBay for $81.00 and now that same comic is selling for over $800.00.

Could someone please give me their thoughts on the subject? I know it's all subjective to the seller and their personal opinion but I feel there are those on here that have faced the same quandary and can give an informed opinion.

Thanks in advance]]> Fri, 31 Jul 2020 18:37:46 GMT
