Hi,
Was wondering if anyone could shine some light on GI Joe 10 done by Ziff Davis. I think I may have found a copy in a collection awhile back. So this was the first issue due to some weird numbering system but does anyone know if its the first appearance of GI Joe? If it is the first appearance, any reason value of the book doesn't seem to be that high? Seems like a huge key to me.
Also any other information people want to share would be awesome to hear.

Batman 121 is more expensive than some GA Batman villain first appearances too. Batman 63 (Killer Moth) and Detective Comics 184 (Firefly) come to mind, but I think Mr. Freeze is a more important villian. Freeze is easily a top 10 Batman villain while the other two are not.
I was referring to main villains who most people have a decent level of knowledge. No disrespect to Moth and Firefly but they are hardly the names that the mass public has heard of. Mr. Freeze on the other hand while not A list is comfortably in the second tier of batman villains if not in the first tier.

Im a little biased since I have a solid 5.5 copy but I think the value of this book is due to
1. Being a true first appearance (not a first SA appearance).
2. Being a lot older than the next big first appearance (Poison Ivy).
3. Being priced as a semi-golden age key (first appearances of major Batman villains in the golden age are through the roof) and Freeze doesn't miss the cutoff by much and while not as rare as first riddler is still infinitely rarer than any other Batman rogue first appearance in the silver age.
Put all those together and I think valuations are fair in that its still much cheaper than say a first riddler from the golden age but still far more expensive than a first Poison Ivy.

Holy carp! The 7.5 cow pages sold for $10k in the May HA auction. Looks like some DC 10 ct SA keys are really blowing up in the higher grades.
I think Superboy 68 is primed.

are SC4 hammer prices softening up ?
Heritage 6.5 43K
I think so. A 2.5 sold in auction on ebay for under $10K.
But on the flipside, 2 different copies of Showcase 4 with the top 1/3rd of the front cover cut off and issues on the bottom sold for $3K and $4600 and those books are likely 0.5 copies. So the floor seems to be going up but the lower grade copies don't seem to appreciate that much per grade point.

NOVA movie rumors. Nova 1 heating up big time.

Got a debate going w my brother and was curious what other collectors think. We were talking about how FF1 is heating up so much lately and got on this 'would you rather' scenario.
As a collector (not a flipper!) would you rather own a mid grade Fantastic Four 1... or all of these three in mid grade: TTA27/TOS39/Avengers 1?
The other three books. FF1 is great but TTA27 and TOS39 are quite rare too. Don't care much for Avengers 1. Rather swap that for a big Xmen or ASM book

Thx, I recalled the X-Force movie rumor but wasn't up on the latest. I assume cable would feature heavily in any X-force movies; I wasn't much for the comics themselves, but I thought he was the centerpiece of that title. Just thought X-force movies would give him a longer runway, but as you say any major lift likely already occurred based on this upcoming screen debut.
In any event, I guess I'm in the "correction possible/no additional major run-up probable" camp on all three.
If there is an xforce movie does that mean my 200 copies of Xforce 1 will be worth something

yeah, the movie didn't do that book any favors, for sure. It was a stinker. A stinker that made a ton of money, sure, but still a stinker, and I don't think it really endeared Ultron to any new fans. We'll see on IM55. Thanos may come off better, people may really dig him. The directors have said that Infinity War is Thanos' story, so maybe the character will strike a chord with viewers. Regardless, i agree with the feeling that this is the most vulnerable of the three, by a large margin.
Definitely well put. I think ASM300 is the safest for not only being a hugely popular new character, but also being part of the beloved asm line and to top it all off its literally the defining art of Todd Mc who has a massive following. Asm300 has so much going for it that even if it wasn't a first appearance it could be highly valuable similar to batman 251. IM55 is risky for sure but NM98 might be equally as vulnerable, 1. NM98 has a much higher print run with tons of copies over 9.0 2. Deadpool 2 might suck 3. There might be a huge backlash from oversaturation for Deadpool where people get tired of the schtick.
But for right now yeah IM55 is prob the riskiest of the 3.

Villain stuff never seems to hold up as well as the hero keys. Thanos in two movies will help though....at least for awhile.
That's because Ultron was a weak villain that got spanked hard by vision even. Avengers 2 was just weak and people hyping ultron is quite rare. While IM55 may tank, Thanos is up there with the best baddies Marvel has to offer. Plus IM55 is the first appearance of Drax as well who will likely continue on.

This,not 50 percent.
20-25 percent is a decent drop. An example is you spend $1000 than a few months later the books are only worth $750 to $800 is not considered a good deal.
I see ASM #300 holding it's own while maybe some others losing steam after their movies appearances debut.
20-25% is not a bubble bursting. Its a correction and while no one ever wants to buy something at the top, it is far from mass hysteria with everyone trying to dump their copy for a fraction of the price. Buying asm300 for $1K and 6 months later you can only get $800 stings but it didn't go to a fraction of the price like what happens when a bubble bursts.
Spawn 1 is a great example of a bubble bursting. Went from $100 book to dollar bin drek for the longest time. That burst. The books mentioned have been hot and at some point could cool off in which case someone likely overpaid, happens in everything that gets hot. Someone always overpays,

Someone just bought my copy of Avengers 3 in a 5.5 OW-W for $420+ shipping.
According to GPA that is the highest price paid for a copy of that book since March of 2012 ($448) Yes, GPA will record the sale as $420.
Thank's eBay coupon!
However, I may sit out on the buying side this time around. Spent quite a bit in the last couple of weeks.
Congrats. I am sitting out this one too. All these coupons have resulted in me spending way beyond my normal budget. Oh well I got a Flash 106 and Daredevil 1 at great prices out of it.

Dumb question...Does the code appear at check out?
No you have to enter it at the bottom where it says coupon at checkout. Make sure you don't buy it now but put it in your cart then go to checkout and enter the code to get the discount.

Batman 121 seems to be heating up a 5.5 just sold for $3500 and a higher grade raw sold last week for almost $9K on ebay

Just bought a 4.0 Flash 106. $100 off was huge

Wolverine would have been a throwaway character without the New X-Men. Wolverine would not have become so popular without being fleshed out in the X-Men series. If GSX #1 did not exist, Wolverine would not not be the iconic character that he is today. I'll concede that it's the more expensive book, but no book had more impact on the Bronze Age and the explosive mutant madness it spawned than GSX #1.
Wouldn't you be implying xmen 94 is responsible for all that? Gsx1 was basically a bridge but 94 is the first issue of the series that as you argue fleshed out wolverine to its fullest. GSX 1 predates xmen 94 but really 94 is where it all truly began

BUT I want a Superman 30 more (I may be the only one though)
Also - this should be in the Bronze Section (just saying) - but while here, Hulk 181 is a beast and I don't think overvalued (anymore thant he whole market is overvalued) and while GSXM1 is a great book, it is nowhere near Hulk 181 IMO. The correct answer is that an X-Men fan should own both
You and me both. I got a superman 30 and don't have asm 3 or 4. And I'm very happy with my decision

The only difference is, there are very few AF #15s out there, whereas Hulk 181s are quite plentiful. Same with GSXmen 1. Logic tells me to go after a high-demand book with low supply. So I recently put an Amazing Spider-Man #4 on layaway. 181 seems a bit too much like Bitcoin right now. Some may not agree, but I'm going to hold off and see what happens.
Difference is, every single collector wants a Hulk 181. Not every single collector wants an asm4. While you and me may see the better value in asm4, sandman really isn't in the must have state of a hulk 181.
Similarly, you can look up superman 30 which is the first appearance of mr. mxy and see its worth far less than asm 3 first doc octopus, even though on the scarcity scale superman 30 is much rarer.

GI Joe 10
in Golden Age Comic Books
Posted
While I agree there is absolutely no real connection to the 80s GI Joe which became super popular, there does seem to be a connection amongst the title and all. Either way I do find its a cool book that had the GI Joe moniker. I guess I was thinking along the lines of how Brave and the Bold 25 is viewed as first suicide squad when the suicide squad that is almost universally used is a completely different story and detached from the brave and the bold book in almost every facet.
