That $80 variant cover that's worth maybe $5 now

I grabbed a foil variant of a #1 issue back in March because the shop guy said it'd be "hot." Paid $80 for it and now it's basically cover price on eBay. Anyone else fall for the variant hype one too many times?

I feel you on that "hot" variant thing. I paid $70 for a Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider foil thinking I'd flip it in a month, and now it's sitting in my short box with a $4 sticker. What finally worked for me was making a hard rule: I only buy variants if I actually like the art enough to frame it. Saved me probably a few hundred bucks this year alone.

Saw a video saying FOMO is just gambling with extra steps, @jana_davis90.
