A early retirement blog that explores new income sources
This will be a new series featuring comic investing tips that I have learned over the past 2 years of buying and selling comics for profits. These came from personal experiences and I hope sharing them here will let my readers become a more shrew comic investor. Reminder: I am not a big dealer of […]
I wrote about whether is it worth investing in 2nd appearance a couple of months back. In that article, I compared the value of Silver age 2nd appearances and found that in general, a high grade 2nd appearance equals or is about 20% lower than the value of a low grade first appearance. I was […]
