Totally agree. Those EndGame rumors would make FF 48, 49 & even 50 skyrocket.

I believe Avengers 1 is the biggest bargain key out there and is poised for tremendous growth.

49 for the easy win.

You can love or hate his signature on a book. I grew up with the guy through comics as my storyteller and I enjoyed getting in line to meet my idol. It was worth every second. I got a chance to say hi and a few words and he held my comics in his hands. All of my Stan signed comics are my prized possessions. I don't think I will part with them but if life circumstances force me to than I will. The memory of waiting to meet him will remain no matter what. Stan fans will understand what I'm writing in their own unique way. That makes it money well spent.

Truly sad but great to remember this great storytellers amazing impact on me and all of us.

Both great books but FF48 will be the bigger Grail and the better buy right now.

Will be a bargain the first time we see Adam on the big screen.

It's all subjective. Jermaine loves the cover for 48. Others love the cover for 49. I love both covers. If I had to choose one it would be 49. Action, drama, color, power... but I ain't going to down the cover for 48 to make my case for 49. Both are amazing.

I hear and agree with a lot of your arguements but If you check the prices, it ain't quite such a cheap alternative anymore. 48 is a mega grail. 49 is about to become one. And I am a serious Galactus collector.

And finally the cameo question. FF48 is a Galactus cameo. An amazingly awesome cameo that is better than IH 180 as a cameo. The name on the cover, the story based on his arrival.... but still a cameo. FF48 will always be the one to own but FF49 will become an even more important grail that has to be owned along with FF48.

And a lot of talk about Hulk 180 and 181. Yes, there are some interesting comparisons with the cameo comparison. However these are way different characters from much different time periods. In a rational world FF 48 & 49 should be worth much more than Hulk 180 & 181 but the comic market is not always so rational right? Hulk 181 has always had its detractors and people screaming its price will fall. And year after that price keeps rising. I believe the same will happen to FF48 and 49.

Both 48 and 49 are grails. Amazing covers, amazing stories, amazing art. Lee and Kirby. Silver Age royalty grails in every way possible. Right now the prices are higher but I believe these will be considered bargain prices by next year. You want proof, than just look at the prices that were being tossed around as "high" when this thread first started. Not so "high" any more.

Have to agree. Spec will be poor. Lots of nice covers but most will be dollar books in a few months. I like The Kirby cover for nostalgia and I love almost any Galactus cover but the story and art were not my cup of tea. I'm a hopeful fan so will give it some time.

Great story Sweet Lou. Sell that MS 13 9.4 and you can get several MS 12 9.4's. MS 13 is absolutely impossible to find in 9.4. Is that the highest graded? That's a nice problem to have.
