HOW TO INVEST IN GOLD: Gold IRA Investing

HOW TO INVEST IN SILVER: Silver IRA Investing


Comic books have become a popular form of investment for many individuals in recent years. With the rise of superhero movies and television shows, the demand for rare and valuable comic books has steadily increased. However, picking comic books to “invest” in is not as simple as it may seem. In fact, the world of comic book collecting can be quite complex and unpredictable.

One reason why picking comic books to invest in isn’t that simple is that the value of a comic book can be inherently subjective. What one person may consider to be a valuable and sought-after comic book, another person may see as nothing more than a piece of paper with colorful illustrations. The value of a comic book is often determined by factors such as rarity, condition, and demand. These factors can fluctuate over time, making it challenging for investors to accurately predict the future value of a comic book.

Take, for example, a comic book like “Schrodinger’s Cat Was A Moon Boy.” This underground comic from the 1970s may not be well-known to the general public, but it holds significant value to collectors due to its rarity and historical significance within the underground comix movement. However, predicting the future value of a comic book like “Schrodinger’s Cat Was A Moon Boy” is difficult, as it is dependent on the ever-changing tastes and trends within the comic book collecting community.

Another factor that complicates the process of picking comic books to invest in is the unpredictability of the market. Like any form of investment, the comic book market can be influenced by external factors such as economic downturns, changes in consumer behavior, and shifts in popular culture. While certain comic books may be in high demand and command high prices at one moment in time, their value may decrease if the market experiences a downturn or if new, more popular comic books emerge.

Furthermore, the condition of a comic book plays a crucial role in determining its value. A well-preserved, mint-condition comic book will often fetch a higher price than a dog-eared, well-worn copy of the same comic. However, the condition of a comic book can deteriorate over time, making it difficult for investors to accurately predict the future value of their collection.

Ultimately, the process of picking comic books to invest in is a risky and uncertain endeavor. While some individuals may strike it rich by investing in rare and valuable comic books, others may find themselves stuck with a collection of relatively worthless comics. Comic book collecting should be approached with caution and a genuine passion for the medium, rather than purely as a means of financial gain.

In conclusion, the world of comic book collecting is far from simple when it comes to picking comic books to “invest” in. The subjective nature of comic book value, the unpredictability of the market, and the importance of condition all make it a challenging and complex endeavor. While some may find success in investing in comic books, it is important to remember that the true value of a comic book lies in the joy and passion it brings to its collector, rather than its potential financial gain.

    Really good analogy, very entertaining! Thanks a lot for putting this type of spin on comics. Be a billy, not a teddy lol

    Put this video in a box and as long as you don’t open it it’s equally likely to be “insightful” or “goofy”

  4. @tmpa623

    I understand your point, however your math is off…. If you’re returning 10% every year it wouldn’t be $2,000 at the end of 10yrs it works out to be about $2,600 since it’s compounding at 10% increase each year.

    Did you know that a comic channel dragon ink did a vid and trolled 20 of you comic youtube channels including you? That guy is a psychopath! He's trans and about to flip the f out and do harm to others near him, I believe! Watch it!

  6. @NicolaiStig

    Great video 🙂

    Ironically, the entire reason he came up with the hypothesis was to mock people who held the belief that observation mattered at all. People don’t usually know that it wasn’t his position, he was mocking his peers. Haha

    Four quantum physicists are in a car. Heisenberg is driving like he is in The Matrix. Schrödinger is in the front seat waving at the other cars. Einstein and Bohr are in the back arguing when they get pulled over. The officer asks Heisenberg, “do you know how fast you were going?”
    “No, but we know exactly where we are,” Heisenberg replies.
    The officer looks confused and says, “you were going 120 km/h!”
    Heisenberg throws his arms up and cries, “Great! Now we’re lost!”
    The officer looks over the car and asks Schrödinger if they have anything in the trunk. “A cat,” Schrödinger replies.
    The officer opens the trunk and yells, “This cat is dead!”
    Schrödinger angrily replies, “Well it is now.”
    Bohr says, “on the bright side, a moment ago we didn’t have a position, speed, or a cat. Now we have all three!”
    Fed up, the officer says, “I just want to know how many of you I need to bring back to the station!”
    “Roll dice for it?” Einstein asks.

  12. @josesainz1979

    Billy and Ted huh?…. Why not Joaquin or Josue? Maybe Abeba or Kofi huh, huuuuuhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

  13. @lukechernesky

    You got me, it was me who sold the Action 1 on Goldin. Are you telling me the cat is very very dead?

  14. @CosmicTrekker

    "Famed physician" Irwin Schrodinger. lol. FYI : Schrodinger's Comic Book experiment when applied to comic book "investments" is just a corollary of the Theory of Flipping a Coin.

  15. @jabezcreed

    So all those investable books that were bought 2 years ago…

  16. @eggplantcomics8336

    Also applies to CGC slabs, your book is both authentic and a fraud until you crack it find out!

  17. @lerak8452

    Cmon Swag someone going to overpay 100% of market value? Then, 10 years later, realize what marlet value is?
    I think it's both spend 1k. Over 10 years, it goes up and down. Nothing is guaranteed. After 10 years, it settles for $1100. Because there isbless interest in comis. You negotiate and take $100 off. Making it $1000 because you need the money. Zero profit. If it's on Ebay. You lose money for fees. That's more the reality.

  18. @adriancampbell8045

    I must be missing something? if you control the variables you get a 50/50 outcome of an unknown. What I mean to say is, what if instead of a comic book or a cat it's a pile of gold in the box and it was free and the chosen variable stays the same "will it increase or decrease in value". You can absolutely predict some things with certainty which would also be true if the ASM was bought for cover price. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm not connecting the dots between Schrodinger and comic book investing.

  19. @randydebower8240

    FINALLY!! Someone has broken it down to it's most fundamental aspects! All I've been hearing from flippers is that there's NO money to be made in comics now. Well I've never lost money on comics, because I try to be patient enough to get (what I consider to be) a good deal on a purchase. That helps to give room to profit on the final sale later. Patience & timing is everything!

  20. @davidmartin8211

    In a quantum reality, over ten years the cat may, or may not, have urinated on the comic thus leaving it in a simultaneous original/ruined condition. This is known as the Lee paradox.

  21. @jabezcreed

    Yes! Whiteboard!

  22. @brute_nm

    wake up babe, new whiteboard vid dropped

  23. @fnulnu8243

    LMAO! AF15's-R-US…That's awesome!

  24. @HankWagner-nl4me

    Schrodinger also proves the old adage that you make your profit when you buy, not when you sell.

  25. @OilersWorkshop

    I would like to visit an “AF15s R US” one day…

  26. @josefbinns3738

    So I got a TMNT #1 first print in 1992 for $450 I tend to think I made a good investment

  27. @peterg167

    Take this a step further and start a commodity index for comics where you can both buy on margin and short sell at the same time. One can then both make and lose a fortune at the same time.

  28. @RoTelnCheese

    “To the moon” is a really silly phrase, nobody working in the top trading firms use it. Buy books because you enjoy them, not because you think you’re going to the moon.
