Get connected. Download the apps. The two most important apps (because you’re obviously already on YouTube) are key collector and Instagram. Key Collector is a tool that must be used correctly. It’s a fantastic source of information, there’s obviously many many people working many many hours to find relevant information for you and deliver it right to your phone for like 1.99 (not a sponsor - yet - hit me up Key collector). If you didn’t have key collector you’d be at a major disadvantage because you’d have to go collect all that information yourself and you’d definitely be too late. Now just like any tool, it can be used poorly.
Pay attention to movie news.
This goes right along with the first two points: Learn how to tame your FOMO. FOMO is the fear of missing out, and man do I get it bad. Every single time I get a notification on my phone, hear some movie news, or see someone post a grail on IG I get a little twinge of FOMO. I’ve had to train myself to slow down, think it through, do some research, look at FMV etc to not just jump on every purchase. One thing that has been helpful is to play the tape through. Think okay, if I make this purchase, what’s my end game? Flip is or P.C.? If it’s flip it, how much will the price have to go up to for that to make sense? How long and how much money will I have tied up in it? Are there other things I’d rather have it tied up in that would be less time for more profit? If for the P.C. I ask - does it bring me joy? Is there potential for gains? The thing about FOMO is that sometimes it serves you well and sometimes it does you dirty. I’ve bought some books that turned out to be complete flops because of FOMO and if I’d just done some research or thought it through, or been more patient I would have had a better outcome. Example of FOMO doing me wrong is Venom 26, I went out and bought a bunch of copies and had them slabbed because there was so much frenzy about the book and so many variants and they were all so cool I just got caught up in it. But if I’d have waited for the story to unfold a little more, or paid attention to clues like virus’s suit being all taped together, I may have decided to wait to see it was just a passing fad. An example of FOMO serving me well is picking up the Clayton Crain Spider-man 1 Gold Facsimilie variants when they were released for 79. I really wanted that for the P.C. and they’ve held steady around $120 since they were released. I think there could be a whole separate video about exclusive covers and how you can tell if they will sell well, hold their value, or flop.
Watch YouTubers.
Read Comics. After all, that’s how we all got in the hobby in the first place! Reading comics and being familiar with the stories and the artists gives you a great leg up in making decisions. I have to admit that I wish I had more time to invest in reading for this reason.
