in hoping not to open the old flipper debate again, i feel that pretty much any ssc/marvel piece that can be bought at retail and well done will eventually appreciate in value. Even The Thing PF which was available from ssc forever, is now climbing as well.
That's the deal breaking question...QC If that's bad. All bets are off.
Female intuition Kenny? Jk bro.
...close to it when it comes to collecting.
Wow 25 years? Cool I had a lot too but only 5 months for statues. I learn so much it's great! Im still learning everyday and my first spook just over with. Next will be the other holiday events. Also learn what PF and comiquette means lol.... All newbies will need time to figure this out. Congrats on holding onto them all so long. You must have money to kill to put on hold for so long. Happy collecting! Don't ever quit the hobby I was tempted with so many issues of broken statues, scams, space, and money spent. But when I get statues like baroness Its all worth it. She brings back so many good 80s memories.
I to think I learned so much about collecting and myself when I moved over to collecting statues almost 5 years ago. But was lucky enough to have never been scammed when I was a newbie in the hobby, nor did I have to deal with receiving broken statue. Maybe once I got a broken statue. That's was the X-Men vs Sentinel #1 Ex. Was lucky enough that I knew how to fix the lights and now perfect.
I will never and don't you ever forget that feeling you get when you get that A+ piece. It's what makes spending all that money worth while.
"Collect Like You Give A Damn"
You are one smart collector, to be frank I would like to do the same from where I come from there is limited collecter to sell to. What you are doing do help alot in reducing the cost of collecting which will only continue to increase further in the future.
I think those you recent release you cant go wrong with would be the ex batman and the coming superman, I might just buy another one more ex superman to fund for the one I m keeping.
Thanks, been doing it this way for a long time now.
DC is going to be good to me. I don't collect the line but I ordered one Ex. of all these. Joker, Batman, Posion Ivy & when Superman goes up I'll grab one. 2-3 years from now I'll drop them off for other statues coming in 2015-16. That's why I laugh when I read I won't be able to do it with the newer stuff. Shenanigans, I tell you borderline blasphemy... With the arrival of the DC line. It pumped another 5 years for me in this hobby. Those fans are crazy for there stuff. Just read the threads and that pretty much speak for itself. The secondary market is going to be "So" nice for them in 2-3 years from now. I do this solely to support my addiction, because that's what it is. I love collecting these statues more than anything I've ever collected over the years.
