Planet Comics #48

Classic robot destroying city cover!

Beautiful Orange-Yellow book with a very solid spine and tight staples. Main flaw is tear on top edge about 1/4”. Has a diagonal crease that’s not color breaking. Super faint and had to angle for it to show, could be pressed out possibly.

 Like most planets this issue features some amazing Sci Fi GGA! Posted more than the usual interiors to highlight its awesomeness! Off white pages 

(5.0) 

$275.00

 

I'll Take It per PM, Thank You

Even cards which hobbyist consider common, like a 1968 Topps Nolan Ryan, is actually extremely scarce when the supply is balanced against demand. There are only 10,000 Nolan Ryan rookies in professionally graded holders.

There are conservatively 10 million Americans who have a touch with professional sports, trading cards, and the brand of Nolan Ryan. Supply can never even hope to meet demand.

This is just   and belies even a basic knowledge of economics.  Looking at 10 million fans vs. 10,000 graded Nolan Ryan rookies is completely asinine because PRICE RATIONS DEMAND.  At current prices, anyone can buy a Nolan Ryan rookie because they are not scarce and supply/demand is relatively balanced.  People don't have to keep paying up over last sale because there are so few to go around.  Also, over time, I guarantee you that fewer people will be interested in Nolan Ryan (most younger fans never even saw him play) - demand will inevitably decline and the supply will remain more or less constant, if not grow in the census as more examples get slabbed.  I'd bet that, after a decade of outperformance, this sports card index (with heaps of self-selection bias here) will mean revert in a big way.  I wouldn't be surprised at all if this index, in 10 years, hasn't even kept pace with inflation from present levels.  

Hulk #181 I am less sure about, but, feel like there is already a lot baked into the cake at current prices, to the point where I don't know that more X-Men movies is any guarantee that it's a good time to hop on the IH181 investment train. 

I collect both Cards and Comics and you are just wrong about the Card market. Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle are setting new price records every year and haven't played in decades. Also the prospect market is out preforming the variant market by quite a lot. Just look at Mike Trout and Vlad Jr. prices. 

There is room for both in my collections and both my Schomburgs, Key Bronze age books and HOF RC's have gone up in value in the last 10 years. My Roberto Clemente RC PSA 7 was purchased for $1200 just 6 years ago is now selling for close to 7K.  The people repeating that the sports card market is dead are just fooling themselves.

Uh, both of those characters are a success though and all indications are that they will be for awhile. The visual design of Spider-Gwen alone is enough to ensure she is around long-term. Both of those characters have their own current series running for 20ish issues and both still have valued first appearances on the secondary market. Bad comparison to whatever character appears TA Hulk 22.

Your definition of success is different than mine. They have had 0 important or good story arcs, the values have plummeted and nobody really cares anymore. 

Honestly this is the age of speculation and movie/tv shows. I agree there are some great writers and independent books but when your #1 maker of comics craps the bed like Marvel has been doing it hurts the entire category. 

They are dragging everyone down with their terrible quality and constant reboots. Marvel owns some of the most popular characters out there but doesn't seem to know how to use them. 

Also with independent creators abandoning projects, it has started to hurt as people are now waiting for the Trades just in case the artist doesn't finish the series. 

So how is this going to be different than Spider Gwen or Gwenpool? I understand making money and good for you but does anyone really believe this is going to be a longterm type of character?
