A early retirement blog that explores new income sources
After a heated discussion in the G+ group, I realise there are still many misconceptions on how to properly use data. In this case, it is the CGC census data. So, I decided to share my experience on how to use it properly such that you have a better sense of the supply situation for […]
Update July 2020: I have created new articles on undervalued bronze age comics. This one is for Marvel undervalued comics while this is for DC comics. It is almost coming to the end of March, which marks the end of quarter one for 2016. In this quarter, which books have heated up and which is […]
I feel sorry for cover collectors like us who now have to pay noise bleeding prices for some of the variants that are heating up on Ebay. Buying covers used to be a fun and cost saving way of comic collecting but in this era of variant investing, it is anything but. No worries though […]
The name X-Force is just too awesome not to become a household name. I think this was why I was so excited during my teenager years when I heard that Rob Liefeld was launching this new titled called X-Force.
