Damn! That Cap set you back some. It's a good comic, got one myself, not in that good of condition though. I got lucky .... snagged it around Christmas time two years ago which was right before it picked up more steam ... even with the grading/shipping/insurance added to the book cost, I'm still sitting pretty on it (though, at the time I was going .... 'oh boy' when I made the purchase) and the grade coming back as an 8 sent me well into the green on it. I just hit at the right time and squeaked out a deal. Kudos to you, sir. I do the same thing with baseball cards. Slyly look for deals on ebay, snipe them at the last second, send them out for grading, count the cash. Muah Ha Ha Ha Ha!!! Baseball cards are worth money? Christopher has a ton at his parent's house. Are we rich now? Honestly, depends on the year of the cards. Anything from the early 80's to today are pretty much worthless, minus specific cards of specific players. As you go back each year, each set of cards becomes worth more and more money, so if he has older cards from the 70's and earlier then yes you may be rich now; depending on how many you have. Usually I'll look for certain cards that are either listed incorrectly or haven't yet reached their pricing potential. I'll pick those up at a cheap price, get them graded, and resell them. I've taken $3 cards, graded them, and flipped them for $100. I can't quit my jobs or anything, but it helps pay for fun times.
