In this video I talk about "restarting your comic book collection. An interesting idea put forward by Phil from vintage comics. If you were going to restart your comic collection today what would you do differently? What would you buy? What would you tell your collecting self? I go through what some comic book collectors say and share what I think, but would love to hear what you guys think as well

I would probably get one nice book a year. This way I can scratch the itch while also not overloading my house. I’ve already stopped buying weekly books and trying to complete older runs because I don’t want tons of long and short boxes just taking up space with books that will never be displayed.

I was one of the comments on Phil's video. I was surprised to see my post here. Lol. To provide some context, I don't just have Batman books and pretty covers. I still own some decently big books. I sold a lot of comics and toys to buy them. My biggest books are FF5 CGC 2.5, IH180 and 181 in CGC 7.5. Ultimate Fallout 4 and Edge of Spider-Verse 2 both in CGC 9.8. That handful of books is worth almost $9000 less than what I bought them for and that doesn't take into account selling fees or tax implications. It depresses me and takes away the enjoyment of owning them. They seemed like decent prices at the time but now look terrible. I also lost thousands on those short boxes of books that I sold. I'm net positive on the rest of my slabs. I still occasionally buy a book for $100-$200 but the vast majority are cheep books now. I did consider exiting the hobby completely but decided to stay.

The absolute best advice I can give is buy 9.6+ high grade comics eg from cgc. But only buy covers which are tailored to you that hold sentimental. Value to you and try get them as low as possible.

You have to enjoy it. I think if you have good taste and buy what you like, there will always be someone else like you who will enjoy that book. My collection changes over time. I buy a relatively small amount of new books that I like to read. I doubt they will ever be worth anything but I do actually enjoy comics as something to read and not just collect. However I also enjoy collecting. I would never buy the ratios again, I'd stop that and put the money in older books. Currently I have a thing for UK reprints of 1950s Horror and early Marvel (I'm in the UK), and I also like pre-1965 Marvel. I was always looking for the oldest book in the store that I could afford, so I guess I've not changed that much.

I did just this recently. Sold with poor timing my collection from the mid-90s, little over 6 long boxes. Got about $1500 for it in 2018. Then in 2021 and 2022 I bought the full GSX1 to UXM 143 CC/JB, all issues 9.0 and above. Next move is to get Hulk 180-182 at a 9.0 minimum. If I had to repeat today, I would do keys only from that run and Hulk 181. Go for 9.2 to 9.4 in each.
@RobRVA
@RobRVA Месяц назад
I would only make minor tweaks. Go for highest grades I can afford instead of leveling up and being stuck not getting what the first books are worth. Also go for white pagers only from the get go. If you're gonna blow the money might as well wait for that extra little perk. I got onboard both of those trains within the first few months so very few regrets that way. Also learn which defects you hate and avoid them. (I personally would rather have a lower grade without a miswrap or misaligned cover than a higher grade with one)

For reading material, I'd buy more TPB's instead of single floppies, and for the collection side I would focus more on established keys (blue chips) instead of first appearances of smaller characters. Also, if I could go back in time, I'd never install the whatnot app on my phone. The money saved would be good for a high grade ASM 50

Given a mulligan, I would totally rethink how I approached the hobby, but I would not deviate from "buy what you love". Over the last 4-5 years I've picked up a lot of low and mid-level keys that I felt would add equity to my collection (think 1st app of Rhodey, or Silver Sable, and the like). I would probably skip those purchases now and invest in keys featuring my very favourite characters, covers and creators in the highest grade I could afford. We've seen how volatile comic values are, so given that fact, I think I'd rather have fewer comics that I love than a glut of cool books that I like having, but could have ultimately used the money in better ways elsewhere.

I would probably focus on late 70s to early 2000s indie and fantasy books mostly. Usagi. Cerebus. TMNT. Battle Chasers. Warlands. Maybe also some golden age Tom and Jerry. I like my Marvel and DC collection and all but... I think I often let it distract me due to its availability and popularity so I ended up with more of it than what I actually enjoyed most.

When I started up again my idea was to get full runs. I started with Green Lantern vol. 3 but after further research I realized that run is too long 😄. I decided to get vol 4 run. It was fun searching for all of them. After that I decided to get keys of other comics to grade and flip some. A few I decided to keep, such as Spider Gwen 24 and The Boys (2022) 1 Sajad auto. Now I'm just concentrating on other big GL and related keys. I believe those will hold their value and of course, will stay in my collection until a day comes to sell it or pass down to my niece or future kid(s). So basically if I had to restart I would have got vol 4 first and then continued getting other keys.

I would've started with a AF15 and built slowly from there. I bought a lot of books that I just liked the cover on and bought a lot of copies of ASM 300 and 316. Since I started in 2021, I obviously overpaid for quite a few books as well. I had no idea the comic market could crash like it has. Now I know. At least I got my AF15 last fall instead of 2021-22.

I wouldn't do much different. It's always been a long game for over 30 years of collecting. I suppose I might have gone a little harder on getting all the Art Adams stuff, but that would be a full time endeavor all on its' own. It's never been about value for me. I really enjoy cleaning and pressing, and that I can turn books into other books I want is just a bonus cause I really love them all.

Hey! My comment was featured first 😊 let me expand on that. Where I was coming from is “what I would do knowing what I know now” perspective. Chasing a major grail with delayed gratification is not for everyone. But if I had to reboot my collection what I know now I’d totally just go after the big keys first. Quality over quantity. 👍🏼 but for newbies starting yes, delayed gratification is very tough to do. So collect what you feel you’ll enjoy the most!

Don't rush sound like a good strategy. Not sure about ever buying an AF15, even though I love Spider-man. Unless there is like a huge market crash, the original book is unattainable for someone like me. Only advise I have, is don't spend money you don't have and enjoy collecting what you like.

I'd buy nothing but Golden Age books (ok, maybe some Silver Age, too). I switched to them maybe 3 or 4 years ago and have been happy doing so. I don't really care about AF15 or ASM1, etc. Now I just need to get rid of the moderns I bought between 2017 and 2020'ish when I started getting back into comics. And, yes, I'm a cover collector. Reading a comic book really does nothing for me anymore. If you enjoy reading them, I won't hate. 😁
@CosmicTrekker
@CosmicTrekker Месяц назад
Oh yeah, one other thing I'd probably do is bump up my budget on Golden Age comics and focus on stuff that's higher-grade. I was buying a lot of 3.0-4.5 stuff for some EC stuff (for example), but nowadays I'm looking for 7.0's if possible and nothing under 5.0 if possible. Well, assuming they're within price range, of course. lol.

I think an occasional winnowing of your collection is a good thing. I recently decided to remove all non-key Bronze Age below Fine, as well as non-key Copper below VF/NM from my collection and sell them. All Silver and Golden Age stay. It's been kinda fun updating my collection.

Back in the late 80s to early 90s, I collected alot of Marvel. I sold a majority of my collection, some 300 comics at the time, and only kept a few specific titles. 10 years later, I started collecting more and more titles, mainly from Image based publishers. Today, I don’t collect any books, however I did sell a majority of my collection again and saved only the titles I had full interest in. I will likely never buy another title again and I’m super happy with the few titles totaling 400 or so issues. I’m having some of my “key” issues graded and the rest will remain raw. Far more happy and content now than I was when I had thousands.

Great question! I’m in the process of restarting half my collection. Got rid of 90% of my post 2000 books, and now only buying what artists make me happy. Most of it’s barely worth anything, but I love it and it feels genuine not chasing the same “key” nonsense everyone else is. Mickey, it’s not sad being behind sports cards, Star Wars, Pokémon,etc. The higher brow the culture , the less people are involved in it. Comics are far more sophisticated than Pokémon and sports cards!

Frankly, I would probably not even bother with issues - would move to trades / omnibuses for the stories. Moderns are too expensive to collect at scale. I guess I would pivot to bigger keys if issues were still on my radar. Mind you, I still work on runs today, but only because I've spent 40+ years getting great books cheaply - I would not go back & try to get all the Avengers, FF, or X-Men books now.

Would probably figure out how many comic books I want to buy - maybe only about 600 books. Then I would make a list of those 600 comics based on several criteria. 1) Ability to resell comic 2) Coolness factor 3) comic book history relevance 4) awesome cover art. Then I would take my time collecting those books at below market prices. Over the years, I have accumulated too much "crap" and believe that a more focused approach would have led to a better collection.

I collected comics in phases. Phase 1 was teen to 20 when I collected marvel Bronze Age books. Next phase started in 1991 when as my family was growing I rediscovered comics and went nuts catching up on my marvel titles I missed in the 80s and of course newer books. Phase 3 is the woke phase when books deteriorated in the teens through the current day and I’ve become a silver and pre code horror addict. My regret is picking up a lot of marvel and independent titles in the 1991-2009 timeframe which swelled my collection size but are now not that appealing to me as I chase more grails so I’ll probably unload those. I am hopeful there are people out there who would love to purchase complete Valiant, Harris, Defiant and DC Vertigo runs in NM condition all bagged in Gerber Myltites. We will see as I start to explore the art of selling books. What I do know is I’m not going to press the easy button and sell them to a LCS.

Don't collect floppys. Just go for trades. I'm in a situation now where no body wants to buy them off me only for 10 pence So I'm going to give a lot away to a friend Was going to just bin them but I can't do that...that would hurt

I wont buy too much tbh. Especially impulse buys. or FOMO. I'll put a cap on it. I wont go impulse buying of random issues. I'll only have 15 Golden age books, 15 Silver age books, 15 Bronze age books, 15 copper age books and 15 modern age books. For reading storylines I'll just buy hardcover collected editions. By putting a cap on my comic book collecting I wont have clutter in my house, I'll save up a lot of money and I can allocate my spending on other things, like other collectibles like toys, statues and memorabillia, and spend it on my health and bulking up my body and taking vacations by travelling around the world.

If comics were just meant to be read then why is there art in them.

And if publishers started printing one-sheet comics, you’d be able to read them slabbed.

Sure if buying to resell then yes, buy what other people like, but otherwise if its not a business, it’s such a waste of your time.

From when do I start? Today, like now? I wouldn’t know where to start? No no buying AF15 that’s not restarting the collection by buying backwards. You have to buy comics from this week release. That’s harder to get right. Let’s see a few people get that right I just would buy the hot chicks and nude boys and some 9.9 CGC comics.
