See the price is up to $449 for case. Is this ok buy? Or to late to get in?

3 cases here

2 cases here, probably just going to flip them for a quick profit. Hopefully I can turn the profit into 1/2 case of UD2 hockey.

Im 5 cases deep....
More or less a rookie at this, I have done some dabbling...

DC Legacy lost for me, but I got greedy
Marvel was a winner....and two things I learned

B&W v Color.....didnt really matter when it came to pricing.....
I think I got better $ out of Marvel Sketches
Here is what I think matters
1) Artist (Scarcity in set, and popularity overall)
2) Subject (Popular subject, or scarce subject with cult following)
3) Scarcity (No similar sketches out there, and print run of artist)
4) Quality (Detail, and plain artistic talent)

Now my Color Marvels went for even more than my B&W Marvels...but I think scarcity played a big role.....if they all were color I am sure I wouldnt have gotten a premium for color

NOW the BIG winner in Marvel Masterpieces was all the sets
Foil set, Gold set, Spiderman set, Spiderman Foil, Xmen set, Xmen foil, Ross/ Struzan/ Adams set, and the case toppers......This took a loser into the winner column big time.... and even the base sets have life.....

Heroes has me a little worried, since those sets and subsets arent there.....
Bascially you are looking at relics, autos, and sketches to make your $....
Assuming 1 per box, you need to average $40-50 per special card just to break even (depending on your buy in).
Now I still think this might be a winner because cases have been so scarce, and a large oversees fan base.....but I dont think this is a slam dunk by any measure.....
