Cluster Group Analysis I for TTA, TOS, and ST_Silver-age_Comic-books_Part 3

Amazingly Secret Approach Using an Incredibly Novel Data Analysis Procedure for Comic Book Investing and Speculation. 

Table 3. Average Difference in the I/O data at the three grades adjusted by the group “cluster analysis” approach*.

* In general as I have shown in the other blogs that these types of data points out those comic-book issues that have bias across the grades vs. comic-book issue only biased in the high grade.

Comments on the TTA run. Clearly the 27 and 35 are the stars but the following issues to 43 have a buy high grade signal while the next few to issue 49 are a buy at all grade mid and up. The following few issues are weakly buy at high grades or not.

Comments on the TOS issues.  The early run of TOS 39 to 58 have a lot of issues with buy signals across all grades as well. Be aware of the O biased issues of TOS 40, 47, 48 and 54 which would show a “sell signal”. After TOS 58 no issues are recommended.

 Comments on Strange Tales.  ST 110 is maybe close to top end but ST 101 and 102 might be

 viable to focus on. I suspect most are awake to ST 115 as well but I see potential in issues 103, 

 106, 107, 111, 119, 122, 126, and maybe 135.  I see that ST 126 is a strong buy but it maybe we

 are late to the game but look for mid grades issues at reasonable prices

Comments on this new approach % of Total in the “Bias Worlds” for each run. I had not considered this measure but I was surprised to “see” the data. It shouts to you! ST has 92% of those with a high O bias.  For our consideration I note that Low I Biased 61% of TTA is remarkable. I consider that fact a signal to focus on that run as it could imply this whole run has growth potential.  In contrast the TOS has about 57% of the High I Bias market and may mean those issues have peaked.

I leave you with a lot of both data to consider and questions that you may wish to ask.
