Graded Comic Books another asset investment

in #steemleo5 years ago

Following up on my shares of vintage cars that I purchase on the Rally RD App.

I would like to talk about a new favorite of mine .....

Grade comics. Here is my latest.

I don’t know about you, but I never thought the artwork that sold for millions of FIAT money at art auctions was any good.
But as I studied money and how to diversify, I learned that most of the artwork sold is actually for investment and is never displayed.

Well I love comics. I have found that with the surge in popularity of comic characters in pop culture, there is also a surge in comic prices.

What is a graded comic ? It is evaluated by 1 of 2 different companies for any damage and then given a rating to see how close to a 10.0 GEM Mint it is. So a 9.8 is worth more than a 9.6.
It is then sealed to prevent any additional damage.

Some fans don’t like the fact it is sealed and you can’t enjoy the artwork within the pages. I however love to display them and try to collect covers I enjoy.

What do you think ? Is this a good alternate investment ?

Sort:  

Comics is a solid investment. And especially if you know what you are doing within that market
