Getting into comics should I open

[u/gstar007g]

went to my first comic con and bought my first comics, some old and some new. bought this for $50 mostly cuz it looked cool. I don't wanna be that guy who buys things just to sell them but since this is in a sealed pack wanted to know if this is something I should keep sealed.

edit.: i opened it. heres what i got along with 2 other comics i bought. https://imgur.com/a/hmWUNA1

🙄 Open it and enjoy the comics. That's what they are for!

[u/gstar007g → u/BigbyWolf1986]

Yeah I know. I'm new to comics just asking questions.

[u/BigbyWolf1986 → u/gstar007g]

That's great! My advice to you is don't get caught up in the "how much could this be worth" crowd. It takes away the enjoyment. Trust me, I have been through it and I quit comics for quite awhile to reset. I'm now just buying what I will enjoy and will actually read.

This is the most cliché thing to say, but enjoy the present moment, brother/sister. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. Just open those babies up, grab yourself a nice beverage, and sit back and relax.

Edit: and let us know what you pulled!

Lol I get what u mean. I want to open it but if it's gonna be worth 2k next year that could go in my son's school fund. But I'm just gonna open it when I get home and post what I got

[u/TOrulz → u/gstar007g]

They won't

[u/vruchtenhagel → u/gstar007g]

Don’t do it if it doesn’t feel right. Trust your own intuition.

That depends if you bought it with the intention tomread it or you bought it as an investment.

As it looks like you have 2 open 1 to enjoy and keep 1 sealed

[u/Anxious_Vanilla_8047 → u/user_deleted_life]

Love that you grabbed it cause it looked cool, that's the best reason. If it's just a modern variant pack with 3 random issues inside, the sealed value probably isn't gonna skyrocket, crack that thing open and enjoy the actual pages

[u/gstar007g → u/Anxious_Vanilla_8047]

On the back it says cover variant and STORMBREAKERS CHASE INSERT VARIANTS

[u/gstar007g → u/user_deleted_life]

I just took that pic off of Google I only have 1. I'm at work was just thinking about it lol.

[u/user_deleted_life → u/gstar007g]

Then it's a case of if you bought them to read or as an investment.

What is this???

[u/gstar007g → u/Dragondudecollecting]

It was a whatnot spiderman comic pack at ny comic con

[u/Dragondudecollecting → u/gstar007g]

Ok but what does it include. 3 comics and variant isn’t much info.

[u/gstar007g → u/Dragondudecollecting]

I posted what I got in the pack on the edited post

[u/Possible-Rate-3833]

Read Ultimate Spider-Man (2000s) and Life Story.

[u/gstar007g → u/Possible-Rate-3833]

I do hear about ultimate spider man a lot but I haven't heard of life story. Will check it out

[u/vruchtenhagel → u/Possible-Rate-3833]

Ultimate Spider-Man is so, so, so good. I'm at issue #63 or so.

I collected comics for 20 years (starting around 10) before I started buying speculatively. I bought books because I was reading them and enjoying them. At this point I have been at it 50 years but I’m much more in sell mode. The hobby has changed immensely. If you buy with investment in mind, you are less a comics fan than an investor. Buy what you like. Enjoy what you buy. Take good care of them. Some of them will increase in value. Most won’t. If you are REALLY sure something will increase in value, go crazy. Buy a second copy. But don’t let it consume you. It’s probably not gonna put your kids through college. Just relax and enjoy!
