Nice WW!

Cliff Chiang Batman (from Tec 816):

Oh yeah? You think it was an anamoly or?

Did anyone else notice the Avengers#4 cgc 9.6 on CLink last night?

 

I believe this Ohio pedigree copy took quite a hit ... they advertise it as having sold in 2011 for $91,500.00 but closed last night for under $30K ?!!?

Yikes !

Ouch! Prices in the high grades seem so volatile?

I like to buying these SA keys in the "collector grades" (I am looking for raw 2-2.5's and slabbed 4-4.5's)... much more liquidity and much less volatility!

I am starting to think more and more that this book may bump in value in the near future. In a few other threads there were quite a few people looking to pick one up. X-Men was a big book throughout the latter part of last century and those individuals are getting more disposable income.

I totally agree. I was into comics as a kid (in the 90s) , subscribed to Wizard, etc.

I didn't know what AF15 was until I started lurking this board a few weeks ago.

Before I started reading up on the SA Keys, in my mind X-men 1 would be my ultimate "dream book". I mean it honestly still is (even though I somehow want an AF15 , too!)

The popular characters of the present, 10 yrs ago, and 20 yrs ago, should be somewhat a relative driver of future demand. (Especially if we are comparing blue chip characters to blue chip characters... X-men and of course Spidey were big in the 90s... I don't remember any of my 12yo buddies thinking the Fantastic Four were cool!)... just one anecdote but bottom line I consider X-men to be very top tier in terms of mainstream cultural staying power. Would put Batman and Spidey in the same boat.

Sorry for the terrible picture!

Just picked this up today at my local shop, they believe it's roughly a "3".

Beautiful hulk #1!

I just picked up Avengers #1, not graded (local shop called it a 3 which seems about right). Was My first (non graphic novel) comic purchase in 15 yrs!
