I'm a bit ashamed to admit I bought 4 of the 5 books on Whatnot. Besides the Venom which was slabbed, all were in worse condition than advertised but not too bad. At least the 2 copies I got of ASM 238 had the tats inserts. Still, don't be like me kids, avoid Whatnot and buy from your LCS or a reputable dealer.

Did CGC find your comics ?

Nice I just picked up an ASM 238, definitely not a 9.8, but it is a newsstand with a mark jewelers insert 😎

Cool video, as always, David ❤ Everydays a good day when you post 🎉

If a book relies on a movie to make it go up, it’s not a long term play.

Last sale of a jim83 cgc 9.0 $68,000

Most of these comments remind me of what people said about the sports card and tcg industry since covid. Its so easy to be negative and say prices will go down. Just like crash bros predict housing crash for like 5 years now. 😂 price will go up, everyone will be mad, life will go on....with or without you being apart of the hobby

Go trump

Dave, I too think we may be in a simulation.

Love me some Kilmer and Clooney batsuits. They are underrated，but yeah, Lewis Wilson IS the original. Going to watch a movie serial honestly ， sounds like it would be a blast to attend

Dropping the rates will probably turn into 2008

Great video dave

I had a decision to make today, do i buy the 9.2 181 id been lusting after or 3 x 1oz gold coins too protect my money against the inflation i fear will now return? Yup i bought the 181...bad decision i fear but still v happy

Too many people got burned overpaying a couple of years ago on comics during the 'boom' times. Add to that the constant debacle that is CGC. Those investors won't be coming back.

This is why comics books were enjoyed most by children, now, as adults, they are less a source of wonderment than a commodity compared with the stock market, as a smarter place to spend yr money. When Action #1 went for $300 in 1972, I could have bought 10 of them. Not today. I also could buy a home for $25k. And could live like a prince on $20k/yr Not today. Today, we get to listen to comic book collectors spin an imaginary tale about interest rates affecting comic book market prices. There is no connection at all between comics and the prime rate. Good luck with finding that econ paper on the Federal Reserve web site. As if!

Ha advice from someone who held back a box of hulk #181 in 2021…..good luck folks

What a dumb and pointless vidoe.

NO

Most comics will go down hard and the interest will go down very hard! Comics are not rare at all... If you want to lose money, buy comics. If you want to collect, thats fine.

Finally someone who is realistic ….good video

Companies aren’t hiring anyone at a livable wage. Nor are they paying the few existing workers more. You have 5 guys now having to do the work of 10 guys for every company while they suck out record profits for the top.

This 5% is it going to get help us get out of the recession. Our national debt is 27 trillion.

Nope

I didn’t get a nickel for that entire stimulus time & that’s ok because I was working. Anyone that stole stimulus money to buy comics should be in jail. That money was for rent, food, unemployment & essentials.

Spot on Dave the only thing I may have a disagreement with if they drop too quick inflation may bounce back. But eventually things will even out.

Nope this is just a little candle 🕯️, the market will continue to go down 👇, why because when people can't afford things entertainment is the first thing they sell.

Will PSA offer lower prices to help the overall inflation? Will that help the market? Apparently, you have game changer ideas, PSA should hire you.

It happens. It’s like the stock market. Up and down. Thank you for your content.

Does the November election help or hurt comic book values? And why is it so hard for Americans to have a third option in an election (Canadian here)?

UF4 to the mooooon lol

Every collectible market on the planet exploded in 2020 to 2021 almost solely due to money being given to people when they didn't need it, low interest rates, and in the US the pause of student repayment loans. I was being given $2000 a month for 18 months in that period where I live when I didn't need it. Guess where it went, to collectibles, crypto, online shopping and ubereats type food services. Lower interest rates will help every market including collectibles, but just like it always helps stimulate spending when borrowing is cheaper. Yay, blackrock is gonna buy the rest of the houses they didn't already buy.

Kamala Harris wins will be burning comics for heat 🙄! Trump wins may obtain Amazing fantasy 15 😅

It's quite possible aliens come down in Q4 2024. 😂

Greedflation is a real thing, my friend. Companies firing people left and right, taking all that money and getting stock buybacks, artificially, raising their stock price, making CEOs a fortune, all the while those people that they just fired a living in squaller. When most people can’t even afford to buy a dozen eggs, I don’t think they’re gonna go running out spending money on comics.

Tech Bros 😂 making lots and doing little.

Funny because KZbinrs are speaking to the highest end of books when people can’t afford a Camry & you guys talking about Rolls Royce pricing. Like almost all cars almost all comics are terrible as an investment.

Dave, you are stating only what all comic book collectors wish. Comic prices were damaged too significantly in 2021/2022 by greed. Driven mainly by CGC values and commission based sellers. Too many games with their grades, dealer/artist exclusives, false/manufactured rarity, people like you pumping and selling books and us sheep that got sucked into the wishful $$ thinking. Prices will never come back for 90% of books. 5% should hold value and 5% will go up. New comics are a total waste of one’s money to grade. It’s the old key books that should be bought as investments. Lesson learned for me.

How are you going to bring down inflation? Harris: I came from a middle-class family...

Rate decrease is only the rate at which the banks borrow money. An avg consumer won’t see much impact. Interest rates were already falling but the Fed was asleep at the wheel.

Thanks for the video I always enjoy it but I’m holding back like I said before to sue you😂😂😂 make a a video on modern books. The you think it’s worth buying thank 😂😂

So just to be real, it was also books like x-men 1 that benefited from the “stimulus checks” bc it was actually small business ppl who took the PPP loans and drove the markets crazy. It’s nice and trumpish how u spew hate and blame for ppl who got those tiny checks instead the corruptions in those PPP loans.

I agree with this. I knew many dealer/investors/collectors who were borrowing money to purchase key books. Nontheless I don't see the federal funds rate going below 3.00% so how much are these guys going to leverage for comics. It's a good time to buy since prices fell but let's see where we go from here.

my interest rate is 69%

I would say no. Seems like Tcg and sports card are the trend

I hope they do I got all the ones I want so make it rain my man 😂😂😂

When we have a government who changes the definition of recession after its met the criteria of being in a recession we're in uncharted territory as a country! I'm afraid its just gonna collapse completely under the weight of all the bs after the election..... no matter who wins!

No. Thanks for attending my 'Ted Talk'

Sure will be a whopping increase in 0.5% 😂😂

Says a non lawyer. 🙄
