Only three acquisitions this year (as the TOS39 required foregoing some purchases - but was well worth it ) #1 - Tales of Suspense 39 CGC 2.5 - a book I never thought I would own after the price increases the last couple of years, but sold a few books to make it possible - and I love it #2 - Original Art Page from Amazing X-Men #4 Page 1 - I had been looking for a page from the Original Age of Apocalypse storyline for quite some time, so had to snag this when it came up: #3 - Superman 75 CGC 9.8 SECOND Print - by far the smallest purchase, but I love this book so figured I would make a run of all the printings in 9.8 to go with my MOS 18 CGC 9.8 Print Run 1st and 2nd Print down, now just to grab the 3rd and 4th

I hope so! Would love a MOS sequel - such an underrated movie IMO and I really enjoy Cavill as Superman. Would be great to see a sequel with Brainiac or something building towards Darkseid ....

Darn - nice grab!

Looking for a minor panel page from the Death of Superman Storyline or Reign of the Supermen Storyline. For a DOS page - I have no preference and will look at anything you may consider selling (although budget constraints are the issue here - hence the minor panel page) For a Reign of Supermen Page - I would be partial to a Cyborg Superman or Eradicator page - and would have a strong preference for a Green Lantern #46 page. PM if you have something.

But of course I love newsstand copies and will pay a premium for them - I think they should be a variant 👍 a newsstand Batman 497 in cgc 9.8 is one of my favourite books I own (even though it is a copper book). I am trying to reconcile whether I need the 5th print - given it was printed a couple years later..... but if I can grab for a good deal I will pull the trigger. I want to put together a 9.8 run of Superman 75 printings as well.

Still need a fifth print - but love this mini set

Marvel: - Strange Tales 89 - Tales of Suspense 50 - Iron Man 1 and 55 (yes it is bronze - but you have GSXM1 listed ) - ASM Annual 1 (I didn't see it listed - but likely you have it in your run?) DC: - Adventure Comics 210 and 283 - Superboy 68 - My Greatest Adventure 80 - Tec 225 - Flash 123 and 139 - Showcase 8 and 9

I am betting the Census will expand rapidly in the next little bit - prior to the announcement it was likely not a book many people went out of their way to slab ...... but who knows, it will be interesting to watch both books to see their trajectory.

Hahahaha fair enough - mark me down for the camp that AV47 or AV48 will decline value wise after the movie appearance and that prices being paid right now are too high. I presume you are in the other camp. Neither of us knows - and no point going around in circles when it is all opinion. Cheers.

Sure GOTG books have done well relative to when they were $1 bin fodder - but compared to peak prices they have not. If you bought AV47 or AV48 as a dollar bin book - then yes have at it and sell sell sell. Likewise if you can find a copy for pre-announcement pricing then yes buy it. However, absent those two situations, the trajectory of this book is not good for a purchase. So wait until after the movie (which will be in a year or two? NOt sure when Eternals will release) - but I don't expect this book to sustain value - but happy if it does (as a rising tide etc.). As to the question - as to which book to pick-up prior to the movie - if you want to make money on it then likely neither as it has popped (unless you find it for pre-pop price) and if you want to hold long-term because you are a big fan - then likely neither as well, as it will likely decrease substantially after the movie so you can pick it up then for cheaper.

I understand the big picture here - just think this book is massively overvalued. The character does not have a huge following - this movie is not likely to change that, and even if it does, it is likely at or near peak pricing already. This is an obscure reach for Marvel - more obscure than Guardians of the Galaxy was - so even if we say it becomes as successful as Guardians of the Galaxy - how have any of those first appearance books fared price wise (maybe TTA13 has done well - but that is more due to scarcity - which AV47 and AV48 don't have)? Do you see the Black Knight being more popular than the Guardians of the Galaxy ..... I think that would be tough, and those books have not held value. Heck MSH13 and Captain Marvel (a bigger comic character, with an on going series and a bigger actor/actress) have not held their value particularly well - and that was a $1B movie with the plan for Captain Marvel to be the face of the MCU moving forward. So not sure why someone would be buying AV47 or AV48 right now - BUT then again buy what you want and what makes you happy. However, if the ultimate question is which one of these two books will be worth more in the long-run, I would vote AV48 - just due to the cover appearance. But I don't think either will hold value well and both are massively over-inflated price wise - so if you want the book, just wait a year or two and buy then when it is back to being a modestly priced "key".

I understand MP15 is a TV Show - my point was it will be a rather insignificant book that will pop because of new found hype and will deflate rather qickly like MP15 did (I think MP15's fall was quite quick after the show and I expect either of these books to do the same). I actually think Iron Fist is a more marketable and bigger character than the Black Knight as well. I just think this is an obscure character that no one really cared about (more so than other movie hype characters) and it is not going to translate well to a fan base. But hey maybe some GoT fans will latch on due to the actor and maybe Marvel will surprise (as they typically do). But really no point to buy this book - because even if you are a fan it is too inflated right now (so just wait) and if you are speculating it is also too late as this book went nuts. But maybe I am missing the huge loyal following that the Black Knight has ...... who knows.

I would vote neither ...... they will both pop (as they have) and then recede after the movie hype dies down - similar to all books, but I think a bigger crash than other movie "keys" - i.e., I could see it being like Marvel Premiere 15. If I had to pick one - I would say 48 - because of cover appearance ...... but who knows.

Agreed on the IG Arc - it was one of the first big comic events that got me hooked as well ....... I need to grab a copy of this book Beautiful 6.0!

Are these signed lithographs available for sale separately or only with the package? I am unable to attend - but would love to pick one up for my son's room depending on price ......

Where did you get the CGC 2.5 TOS39 sale at $3,000? The last GPA recorded sale was at $3,412 in February 2019 the last 2.0 sale in July was at $2,995 ...... just wondering if GPA missed a sale. Both books present very well and have fairly good signature placement - especially the AF15! Iw oudl think the Stan Sig on an AF15 would add more value than on the TOS39 - but it is a bit subjective.

Who has this much free time ...... serious question

Thanks everyone - looks like it is worth the read

My long search is over - I finally was able to snag a low grade copy (I happen to love detached covers in low grade because you get an awesome presenting book otherwise) and am finally in this club - very very happy to be a member Happy to welcome Mr. Stark to the family .... blue under the table, but unfortunately no "double quotes" ah well

Thanks for the replies everyone - with this info I can go away and do some homework

Closing this down - shoot me a PM if there is any interest. Cheers.

Wondering if you wise folks can provide some advice on the going rate range for a Ron Lim Silver Surfer Page from the regular series - not a splash page but rather a panel page featuring the Surfer. Just trying to get a general idea of affordability as I try to track down a page. I realize page significance and composure and issue # will play a role - but just trying to get a high level idea.

Will close this down on SUNDAY - send me a PM offer if you are interested.

Thinking of picking up a series to read - it has been a VERY long time since I have read as opposed to collected (I collect SA and BA keys) - so I am wondering if the 2016-2018 Thanos run (this one: https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/22653/thanos_2016_-_2018) is any good? Is it available in a graphic novel yet - I see some Thanos Graphic Novels out there - but not sure which ones contain this run. Also, was this the extent of the run #1-18 (i assume it is not ongoing?) Thanks in advance for the opinions.

It does not need to be titled "Origins" - I do not care about the title. I just want a solo Magneto movie - does not even need to an origin movie per se - just Magneto as the main character played by Fassbender (it was a perfect casting IMO - not as perfect as RDJ as IM, but close)
