I can't imagine how much ti😢me it took to research, film and then edit this video. I appreciate the hard work. Very informative. Thank you!

[@ComicBookInvestments]

It was a lot. But I enjoy it. I like coming out with well researched videos. Although it takes much longer to produce

[@FernandoGon814]

That’s his job WTF .

[@thomasbobby7444]

Yet another reminder to collect what you love in this hobby.

[@DocReasonable]

I wonder why eBay still refers to comics from 1992 on as 'modern age'??

[@luke-space]

People have 3 options in this market 1 sell and get out 2. Freeze and Hope prices climb back or 3 double down and take this time to buy more keys.

[@dcox1045]

Great video. Thanks for the work you put into this!

[@edduran2571]

I got lucky with my house of secrets in 9.0 cgc. Large increase in value…but I lost value in all my other comics. 😅 Lucky I’m a collector and keeping em all for 20 years at least. I just pray Disney/MSheU does NOT do movies based off my favorite comics. May tarnish value

[@brute_nm]

Very interesting! Thanks for crunching the numbers

[@SergioRoguez]

Excellent video! Thanks so much for this breakdown. Very useful and informative.

[@thundergodd6086]

Impressive data. Thanks for sharing.

[@fallingmouse2]

Thank you for compiling all this info

[@floaich]

A great overview. Thanks for that!

[@elizabethscott584]

Amazing video!!! Thanks!!

[@joshuawyatt4381]

Great video Dave, these 'Blue Chip Books' have left a lot of folks feeling Blue with a Chip on their shoulders for sure. Considering Superman 1 CGC 7.0 lost one million I would call that a 'Suicide Invesmtent', just hope a lot of folks remember that this market is unregulated for a reason!

[@seanashby65]

great vid great info , thnks for posting this

[@darthrooster1]

You killed it. Thanks for all your hard work. It’s a lot of numbers to wade through but seriously interesting.

[@HaneyA]

Great video 🎉 yo. Thank you! very informative and useful. 🔥

[@ComicBookInvestments]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Hectekk]

Love these kind of videos. Appreciate the effort in making it.

[@philcamacho127]

Terrific annual sales data gathered for the biggest 5 keys by age. I really liked it shown this way (more digestible) versus cumulative dots on a mo graph...😊 Great vid! 👍

[@ComicBookInvestments]

Thanks :)

[@DavidParent3044]

Thank you for this!!!! Looks like a lot of work. And your work is appreciated.

[@ComicBookInvestments]

It was. Thanks 🙏

[@shaydemiyashiro9951]

Great video thanks

[@JC-dg6vo]

Great comparisons. Great to see the sales trends. Let see what happens in 5 days. Those huge keys in Heritage. Excited to buy after holding off all year. Also, if unless you juxtaposed the 9.6 prices for walking dead 1 in a 9.6, you mean up 17% not down

[@ccsportsfan7886]

Excellent as always ❤

[@dandelatorre1870]

This is an excellent and comprehensive video! 👏👏👏

[@concettodamico3916]

Awesome year end summary 👊cheers and stay safe…

[@Boxingbear]

Great vid Dave. I definitely made a few mistakes buying during the boom. For example my 4.5 ASM # 50 that I paid over a grand for..has dropped quite a bit. I will be waiting a while for that one to break even. However, with a key book like that I know things will be fine long term. I also cashed in on a few books during the boom - like my SW# 8 in 9.8 that I sold for a tidy profit . And my Detective Comics 300 ..

[@sixtogarcia9130]

Great vid Dave!

[@allisonhunter7301]

Awesome video!

[@timothybrandt6911]

Solid end of year wrap up. It's nice to see some of the books I purchased at their lows during the year.

[@goldeneastgun]

Comparatively, the S&P ended 2023 up 24%. So much for comics being better than the stock market.

[@darthrooster1]

A seller on Whatnot tried to convince me comic books were better than my 401K. Spoken like someone trying to sell you something.

[@goldeneastgun]

@@darthrooster1 That sounds about right. Remember this from over a year ago (see link below)... I criticized Dave for cherry picking his 2008 data but he appears to have deleted my comments. He forgot or didn't know that a Hulk #181 peaked at a ridiculous $30k in 2007, then crashed to under $10 during the 2008 GFC. More recently, a few weeks back, he said he had to sell off his personal collection in order to keep his business running. Well... hopefully he can weather the storm, but more importantly, I hope he learns from his current experience: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXaqp4CJfdiYn8k

[@YurrNext]

Nice vid Dave! 👍

[@Chris-es3wf]

Thanks for the info. Even for those of us with GPA, this is great stuff. GPA reporting for portfolio data is really lacking given the pricing model in my opinion.

[@johnwycough1955]

Great video. Please do one for next year also.

[@crzdcolombian]

:) Great video I can't believe I sold a 7.0 Hulk 181 for more than a 9.2 now. Glad I did. It's time to come back and get some steals after the craziness of the last couple years. I also sold 3 Spiderman #1 platinums signed by Mcfarlane in 9.8s so its do I turn that into a 8ish grade TMNT #1 or go for a super low grade AF 15. Defiantly want X-men #1 again now that the prices are coming down

[@stevencosta3148]

Awesome video Dave. Still think you should use your bands music 🎶 in the background.

[@marcoanelly5645]

Good video 👍👍

[@dtondro]

That was quite an epic list.

[@ComicBookInvestments]

Thanks. Lots of time and work

[@danceswithcomicbooks7733]

Lots of red. As the movie popularity keeps decreasing we can see comic prices going down. The gravy train is largely over for now. Comic book collecting will go back to the nerds like us. Superhero movies are going the way of westerns for a while. Lol

[@robertbanning6393]

It was a bad year for a lot of people but not me. Because I picked up a modern book and a copper book that I wanna do my collection at cut rate prices.

[@ComicBookInvestments]

Awesome!

[@brclar78]

Can I ask where these sales are from ?is it only ebay or other sites included. And would you say the market is having a course correction to 2018-19

[@marcusmuggli2067]

The Walking Dead @ 9.6 went up from 1450 to 1700, but your chart has it going down 17%

[@scooobydoo27]

I hope that you can do a review of the grail keys that recently sold, such as Superman 1 for $2.2mil and a 9.8 ASM 1 that sold for $1.4mil.

[@ComicBookInvestments]

I just did

[@jeffstanley6013]

Wow, that New Mutants 98 kills me. Why would you spend $140 on a 2.5 if you can get a 6.0 for only $10 more? 😊

[@ComicBookInvestments]

I don’t get it either

[@rickd6476]

Are your golden age columns mixed up ?

[@thomaspalmer6453]

One thing to consider is that some of the books you list like Hulk #181 sell all the time at different prices, so its hard to get a handle on the value of the book. Also, auctions are not always reliable as books sell high and low depending on who's at the auction. GPA does not pull from all the auction sites like Comic Link. Then there are private aales and comic ahow sales to consider. You state that books are up and down in each grafe, but there are so many sale its hard to gauge how much a book has increased or decreased in value.

[@danceswithcomicbooks7733]

It's pretty easy if you follow the auctions and eBay. It's all there. Go collect is also another good place to gauge.

[@ericm6633]

I love ASM 300! 🕷

[@thomaspalmer6453]

The AF #15 prices are misleading. The CGC 2.0 price early in the year was an outlier, and that late sale at $14,999 was a great deal for someone. AF #15 CGC 2.0 is a $20,000 book all day. Don’t just really on two sales for the whole year. There were many sales of books during the year that were higher and lower. You should average the sales for this year and compare them to the averages from last year.

[@Fin-gj2th]

Dave, make a video showing off your tats and telling us about them, can I get an up vote y'all!?

[@Fin-gj2th]

Before I watch this video, I am going to put my speculation hat on and say because it's 2023, yes, people lost money! Let's watch and find out!! (This is the only speculation one should be involved in. Lol.)

[@User8vfjhejf]

Don't forget, people want another 20% off on top of the lows plus free shipping

[@wutango36o]

Thats pretty normal during a bearish market

[@thrashingjedi72]

this sucks man.my collection is dropping.some of these i get it but some not sure why they are dropping so much across the board mostly😢

[@DocReasonable]

Every CGC blue label Hulk #181 is potentially missing the MVS or the entire page 10 (yes, there's a guy selling multiple page 10s on eBay).

[@davidcox6601]

Except those of us who submitted it ourselves raw. I know mine’s legit😉

[@DocReasonable]

How do you know CGC didn't swap it for one with the MVS clipped out? It's not like they're trustworthy. @@davidcox6601

[@ZeeboTheJetFan]

Appears to me that the books that drop the most are those that were hyped over some BS like MCU.

[@scottpaterson1692]

Can you double-check the numbers on the Walking Dead 9.6?

[@imdronedout]

That's alot of Red...

[@ScarecrOmega]

Mostly down, good. Some of these book are common and not rare at all with 10s of thousands of copies on the census going for thousands of $. Ridiculous.

[@DanielDeLeon69]

Are They Gonna Fix The Problem Or What?

[@derekng7776]

Everything going to fall more wait if u can wait.

[@garthwhitely9012]

Copper and Bronze taking heavy losses in sales

[@xenaluck]

some weird outliers on the walking dead....

[@matrix_comix]

Will never understand the simps that slobber over the second appearance of Venom that has an average cover lol
