As this heats up, do you think it will sink the value of 266? Or will the increased interest in Gambit also drive 266 as his first "full" appearance?
I hope this is gonna go up. I have a store that is sitting on approx 20 copies in NM- or better at cover price. They seem to be sellin online in the 4-9 range .. so I might cherry pick a half dozen of the best and play the waiting game.
Why do you all think this is going to go up? I don't quite understand. It has always been known as the Gambit 1st cameo or whatever.
I bought a bunch of NM-ish copies of it from my LCS for $1 apiece years ago and am still sitting on them. I think the fact that this is an annual really sinks it. Avengers Annual 10 is a cool and popular book, but it doesn't pull alot of cash unless it's a 9.6 or better slab.
I've had this book for years but never saw it as 1st Gambit.
It wasn't listed on comicspriceguide or comicbookrealm as such and is
always available on ebay cheap.
In the last few weeks however, everyone & their dogs are labelling it 1st Gambit
I agree, if you read the story they even state that it takes place AFTER issues 265-267.
I guess the Annual was release slightly before #266.. but is intended to be read after #266...
