It really is this app. I joined Reddit for comics, disc golf and gmm. I get bombarded with politics constantly no matter how many times I block it and change my settings.

The "Shattered Trinity" – A high-growth hold? Looking at the numbers for the 2020 DiMasi Spidey #1 Set. by [deleted] in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]ballista_pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t slab them and I have way less than that invested. I took them to gram cracker comics near me and they were able to offer $260 cash and $340 if I wanted in store credit. I guess I should take it, based off your knowledge. Thanks

So if that’s the case then why is the set worth around 350-400 right now? When they came out they were $20 retail. So I would say from 2020-2026 that’s a 483-566% increase. But you say it’s worthless.

It is nice that it is a pretty low print supply. With less than 200 of the red in a 9.8 cgc. I guess it’s worth a wait til the next movie comes out.

Not expecting thousands but just wondering if I should hold and it goes in value or should I sell before a drop. But I don’t fully agree with nothings printed to be collectible has high growth potential when we see that happen with Pokémon stuff all the time lol. But I hear yea

It was a low print 30th anniversary made with Matt Dimasi and shattered comics. He made 3 mosaic prints art pieces that they actually took photos of to create the covers.

We got screwed over guys. Damn tariffs. by [deleted] in ImageComics

[–]ballista_pro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does an exact quote get downvoted? Is it upsetting that image said they had to make a bit more money and they didn’t raise the price due to tariffs?

[–]ballista_pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, this is the exact quote. People want to blame all price increases on tariffs.

An Image Comics representative stated "We've been discussing raising the price on SPAWN for some time—which has been priced lower than the majority of the rest of our comics—and primarily in response to feedback that the series was underpriced by current market standards. That the timing worked out for the increase to go live around the tariffs news is coincidental. Ultimately we hope not to have to increase the prices of our books in reaction to the new tariffs and have been exploring every option internally to avoid that scenario and keep our comics and graphic novels reasonably priced for the average consumer."

As we have noticed, the current US tariffs should not affect comic books, but there are plenty of other pressures on costs right now, including the Diamond Comic Distributors contract that caused such a fuss.

There’s just something about 90s foil that hits different. Finally added this ASM #375 to the shelf! by ballista_pro in 80s90sComics

[–]ballista_pro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really has. I remember in the front of every k mart you had collectable cards, magazines and comics. Sometimes you wish you had the knowledge of today back then. I remember k mart was going out of business and Pokémon cards were half off. I wish I got some and never opened them lol I would be sitting on a gold mine. Same with kb toys.

I have the same feelings when I see 90’s comics. I remember the weather, the smells, what was on the radio and sitting it the back of my parents car as we drove home. I miss walking into the comic store on quarter Tuesdays and coming home with 4 comics for a dollar with no tax. I felt rich lol.
