It's time for another comic book video! This time I'm taking the comics from my Top 25 most valuable comic books in my collection video and seeing how the value has changed in the last 3 years. If you've been looking at the comic book market, you'll know that this is going to be a sad story, as values for high end back issues have fallen drastically in the past few years. So how much money have I lost? Does this mean that comic books are bad investments? Which comics are still valuable?

    Help me get over my comic book depression by LIKING this video and leaving a COMMENT! 😁

    Any hobby or collecting is expensive. That's why it's important to be responsible with what you buy. But as long as the person enjoys it and has fun that's all that matters! When only live once, we have to enjoy it as much as we can!

    I couldn't have said it better myself. When you you buy low, you get the enjoyment of owning !
  • Hi DT! You still have an unbelievably nice collection. I was happy to hear that you bought much of your collection before 2021 :-).
  • You’re completely right on the value. You haven’t lost money until you sell. These are the biggest books in the hobby and gems to own. I love seeing these any day regardless of value.
  • My heart dropped when I saw this video. If you want me to take care of those comics until the prices goes back up, I certainly can make room in my house. I love comic books. I know the priceless joy they bring me. Your channel is my favorite. Seeing your collections just brings me joy while having coffee to start my day. Keep up the nice work, and I'm thankful when I get a notification that a new video is available.

    Thank you for giving this info. It helps! Amazing collection!

    You need to state the date and the price. If you bought anything between 2019 and 2022, you absolutely lost money. That was a sellers market. Unless you were flipping, nobody should’ve been buying comics in that market. Because you got fleeced!
  • When I saw the prices start to skyrocket during COVID, I could see what was happening and stayed away from big purchases. However, I think comparing 2018-2019 prices to current prices is a better judge of their growth or decline. You have a killer collection by the way.
  • @RobRVA
    That's a heck of a beautiful collection. As long as you can pay your billls, the only reason to sell is to get grade bumps!
  • @dekkenwade3064
    Bro could have sold his whole collection and bought it back in higher grades with profit 😭
  • @rajh619
    Great video and educational. I many of the comics were bought during the comic boom. I would imagine the more books get added to the cgc sensus the value also drops
  • Have you considered sending the GSX 9.2 back in for authentication? It might be risky with the nice grade.
  • @stevecarter2667
    Great video!!! I'm jealous of your collection. In addition to these values I'd also be curious if the years you bought then and the values then. If you had these books since the early 90's then the drop in peak value would still suck but you'd also still be ahead tons in value compared to those previous values.
