Something you own, or can reasonably hope to buy one day, in roughly the 10K price range, and tell us a little about it. Can be a US or world coin, banknote, beer can, comic book, baseball card, or any other collectible. My hope is to illustrate how much (or, sometimes, how little) 10K can buy, depending on what one collects.

    "The first half of 1964 was an extraordinary and historic period for the Beatles and they had very little down time. They started off the year with a 3-week residence at the Olympia Theatre in Paris, coming back home to England on February 4th, and barely with enough time to catch their collective breath, only 3 days later they left for New York to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show. This 2 week trip also saw them perform live at the Washington Coliseum, then jet down to Miami for a week – during with they taped a few more Ed Sullivan appearances. On March 2nd the Beatles began 6 weeks of filming for their first feature movie “A Hard Days Night”, wrapping up on April 24th, all the while recording some of the songs that would appear on the album of the same name.
    Here is a beautifully scripted Beatles autograph set, signed on April 29, 1964 – just five days after completing filming “A Hard Days Night” - and obtained when The Beatles performed live in concert at the ABC Cinema in Edinburgh, Scotland, while on the Spring 1964 U.K. tour. They did two shows that evening: one at 6:30 and one at 8:50. Backstage on this night, a piece of blank off-white index card measuring 6” X 4” was autographed by The Beatles."---Frank Caiazzo

    As a recent Beatles fan, I find that really really cool!

    That’s gotta be worth a fortune in today’s market!!! :o Especially, since it’s all signed at the same time, in the same ink and includes Lennon’s signature.

    Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

    Just bought. Currently for sale on ebay for $21,000

    Back in the early 70’s, my brother had a copy of X-Men #1. I was more of a Spider-Man and Hulk fan, but he loved X-Men. Anyway, it was the most valuable comic book either one of us owned at the time, worth about $20 IIRC.

    My dad had amazing fantasy 15, the first appearance of Spider-Man. My grandma threw it away because she didn’t like the monsters.

    And even worse what they did sell for just a few years ago at the peak for SA books before things cold down a lot. Back then a 6.5 sold for 225 000$+. Now things are back down to Earth but still not a cheap book.

    If this can make you feel any better Golden Age is were you want to be there are just to many copies of Silver Age keys. I have been following the comic book market since about 1990. What happened a few years back will likely not happen again price wise for SA keys people just flood the markets with sales and it pushes prices down. GA rarity makes sure that does not happen. There are grade rarities for the SA.

    Out of my league unfortunately.

    The trick is to collect things that will rise dramatically in value in the future. ;)

    Many years ago I wrote to Neil Armstrong to ask for an autographed picture. For the cost of a postage stamp I got this photo which was for some reason signed but not inscribed as he normally did. It is supposedly one of the Holy Grails of space autographs.

    Current value is probably moving toward the vicinity of $5000 on a good day. Someday it will make $10,000. :D

    That is EASILY one of the finest Neil Armstrong signed WSS litho in existence.

    Golden Age is scarcer... but also has less demand. The demand is always at least as important as supply.
