Hey everyone, just a quick question. (and my first SA post, I usually hangout in the GA section).

I've been considering picking up a low grade cgc blue FF#1, but it occurred to me that there might have been a recent spike because of a possibl/planned movie relaunch.

I'd like to pick it up before it goes double in value, but I also figure this is EXACTLY what I'm supposed to think right now. "buy now, before it's too late!".

So any thoughts you might have would be appreciated.

Buy now before it's too late. I'm serious

FF 1 is awesome, will always hold its value, and you would be really unlucky to lose money on it. Having said that it will always be bridesmaid to AF 15 2c

This is true as all other SA keys will be behind AF15. But, if I had to pick the next key behind AF15 it would be FF1. AF15 prices are almost out of reach for the common collector. FF1 has not reached that peak yet but I predict it will get there.

I picked up a 3.0 recently with the belief that FF1 will be the next SA mega key.

Of course it's going to spike when I start actively searching for one.

+1 FF1 is generally viewed as the second most valuable SA book and so even with little short term spikes, you're usually better off just buying it now (or asap), because several months from now you end up saying "shoulda bought then"

Just my 2 cents.

As we saw with the AF15 rise, there is probably no end in sight. For a book like FF1 don't fret over what you could have bought it for, just go for it. Presently, I think Hulk 1 is undervalued and will be the next book to spike. Disclaimer: I own an FF1 but not a Hulk 1.
