======================================================

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. We had some great weather here in Michigan – in the 80’s all three days!

Anyhoo, I wanted to give you all an update on the 48 hour challenge that I put out – the results are in – we made a sale…

Ok, so it was one measly sale. But that one sale will now go towards helping out a serviceman who actually needs it and Myself, Dave and the one who purchased can feel good about that. We will have many other challenges down the road as we grow, to help out others in need.

Next, I am working on another product review for you all – and this one is an awesome one! I kid you not, you will love this once you see it – so add my site to your rss feeder and keep an eye out for that review.

Want a hint on what it is?

Glad you asked… it will cover how you can turn your comics into cash by taking advantage of the comic book movie rage.

Finally, I’ve been making changes to the site (some visible, some not) that I hope will benefit you and others looking for information on comic book collecting. Coming up I will be doing some articles on Prepping Comic Books. Many of you may not know what prepping is or what it’s purpose is, but I will dig into it here on this site.

Comic Tip –> Prepping can increase the grade and value of your comic book instantly! <–

That’s all for now, have a great week.

P.S. I won’t be updating the site that much over the next week as my son is back home from school and I will be spending some time with him, but don’t worry, I’ll be putting some good information together for you. Thanks for being a loyal viewer of my site. God bless.

The New Hulk Movie and Comic Book Investing

Comic Book Collecting — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 05:37:38 +0000

Note: Need to make a correction concerning my previous post. I mentioned that it would be a good time to pick up some early Iron Mans, as the movie will be coming out in a couple of months… Sorry, it’s coming out in early May and that’s only a week away. Sorry about the confusion.

Can certain comic books connected with movies skyrocket comic book values?

In short, yes! As of late the comic books which Marvel and DC have spun off movies from have made billions over the past few years – and you can profit from this by buying correctly those comic books which will rise due to a movie coming out.

This is an area of comic book collecting that is becoming more popular, especially since the comic industry has jumped head-first into making comic book movies. Last time I covered the new Iron Man movie. I believe this would be a good “back issue” pick to grab for your collection or sell on ebay. To see what issues you should buy or sell, go here.

Today I will talk, briefly about Hulk 2. If you haven’t seen the trailer (again, as I mentioned before, I don’t like to watch the trailers but I chose to do that for both movies coming out this summer to curb my curiosity) then check it out to the right.

If any of you watched the first Hulk movie – it was either a bomb for you or you really enjoyed it. Many believe the Ang Lee version was a disappointment. Hopefully Marvel/Hollywood got this one right and it will deliver the goods. I’m kinda gun-shy to tell you to pick up a couple of back-issue comics related to this movie – BUT I will anyways!

If you don’t know already, the Hulk 2 Movie is featuring Abomination. The appearance of this foe was in Tales to Astonish #90 and continued in #91. These would be the issues to pick up and or sell since the movie is based on them. Go for as high a grade as you can at the best price you can get it.

That’s it for now. Give me your comments of whether you’ve been using tactics like this or not.

Ghost Rider…Ridin’ High In Sales

Comic Book Collecting — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 04:48:19 +0000

UPDATE: I checked eBay tonight and found that another high grade Ghost Rider #1 CGC 9.6 went for over $1k.

Still a good sum of cash, but look at the difference that a 9.8 will bring! Check those books to see if you might have a winner, get it graded and sell it!

No one can tell me that high grade comic books can’t bring in the dough. Here is a #1 of Ghost Rider (original series) that took in a handsome $4k+. Click here to see the actual auction and the final price.

Seems to be the finest copy graded to date. Wow! A hard one to top – but it’s been done before. Keep an eye on Ghost Rider #1 as well as some picks I’ve chosen that you can go take a look at on my high grade comics page.

Later, I will be doing a series on how you too can get some high grade books – without spending $k to do it. Keep an eye on this blog for that series. Nuff said.
