Hey what’s up I have contacted you with my comments a few times I am Bob in Connecticut what I always meant to say is there is never a good time to sell your comic books but I had to do what I had to do because I’m never going back to work again I only go to Yankee Stadium so I sold most of my stuff so I will give you some of the horror stories. Yes I think we were talking the comparison of amazing fantasy 15 to amazing Spiderman 300 obviously if you are not insane you would rather have any amazing fantasy 15 or X-Men 1 than amazing Spiderman 300 9.8 . There is no comparison anyway most people nowadays cannot afford to buy the vintage key. Unless you are a movie star or rockstar or you are very wealthy. I had avengers 17 point no I only got a few thousand dollars for that I had daredevil 17.5 I don’t think I got $5000 hulk 181 8.0 I got $1100 my fantastic 448 9.4 I got $3000. There is never a good time to sell your comic books but you can’t take them to the grave. Yes I told you I kept my X-Men 17.0 yes that’s about $50,000 market value right now and I bought that many years ago for $300 when it was not yet graded. Tales of suspense 39 8.5 I paid $5300 I got that at the Jacob Javits center. Fantastic 448 9.6 I got that on eBay a few years ago for $3600 superman 15.0 restored no trimming I got that 20 years ago for 12,500 . I don’t work anymore I can’t do stuff like that unless I sell one of my books.I am not sure what is worth more my amazing fantasy 15 6.0 or my superman 1 .🙄🙄🙄

I'm not doing too bad here. I have six out of the ten books you mentioned (had to sell my first print Turtles 1 during 1990's). Now, one or two of them might be in lower grade (my Avengers 1 is 3.5) BUT... here's the thing----I bought them during the late 70's, early 80's. So the price I paid was dirt cheap compared to today's collector buying the books now. So yeah, I'm not doing too bad. And I agree, Hulk 181 is THE Bronze Age book to get. As always, good video and thanks for sharing.
