<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2803034, member: 17665"]Have we all or most of us always preached that coins should a fun collectible and not be considered an investment? I would very happy if I purchased that VDBS at $280.00 and was able to sell it today at $1,000.00. Back in the day, I purchased two copies of the Incredible Hulk #181 at a 15 cent cover price. Today that collectible, in it's current condition is worth $1,5000.00. Not bad I'd say. But I bought them as a collectible, not an investment. Some of the above is like comparing apples to pumpkins. If one is able to sit on a VDBS for 30 years or so at todays price, I'm pretty sure they would end up being happy with it later. What has not been mentioned yet is the fact that many of these are re-entering the market place after being held for many years by us old timers that are divesting for our retirement. This will, and has in the past, changed the prices of many key coins. It's all cyclical.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
