very good responses from all due to incredible  rapid relative change! Don"t get brow beatin' down Mitch!

Why? Reading those books doesn't require any brain cells. You only really need enough so you don't drool all over the pages and ruin the book.

   lazy boy ....indeed. Study History tons of it ! and so much more to understand  why the present is what the future might be . Context is everything when  giving something value! many SA comics stories are regarded by young collectors as very boring! Context! Context! C0ntext! 

the test is ......when films begin doing  films which  require brain cells. pre '64 books will skyrocket. they don't make 'em anymore. runs will again be  in for all those books!  Most of the rest good use as paper towels!

 all star8 1 to 1.5 mil.  a little scarcer then sensation, ww 1 relatively common

veteran here, all star 8  rarer then  both other ww books.

correct! How many times and ways can characters and series be changed until the essence and the thrill is gone!!

I've been involved since '61 and view this field  with an open mind, I do n0!t like this  Marvel propagandizing!

I agree. I think he made a cool choice but my '06 GMC Canyon is still alive and well.

I eat Marvel Zombots for dinner. Timely rules  and  I hate the pushers of post '65 ! So much toilet paper!

I know there are a few af15 related threads on here, but I felt like this was probably a separate discussion.  My bad if this has already been addressed in one of them.

As most, if not all, of us know, the price of af15 has skyrocketed in the past 3-5 years or so.  A mid grade that used to go for $5-$7k at auction is now commanding over $25k.  Craziness. 

I've been collecting since the late 80s, and can't personally remember any one comic jumping so much in value in such a short amount of time?  But maybe there are 1 or 2 I'm overlooking?

Anyway, I was having this discussion with my brother the other day.  Wondering if this current value for the book will hold and steadily keep rising, or if it's set for a crash.  I feel like the popularity in Marvel movies and Marvel getting back Spidey rights has definitely helped this book go up in value, but of course there are factors as well.  

I doubt I'll ever have the cash to own this book if it does hold it's value, which really sucks because I'm a few non-key books (not counting ASM1) away from having ASM 2-400.  At least ASM1 can still be had for a remotely reasonable price I guess.

So do you guys see this book coming back down to earth in price any time soon, or you think it will only continue to go up??

it could be worse----like Frizzes which only is a  notch above poisoned CoolAid

 Still cheap high-grade copies to be had, unlike the Four Color series, which really seems to have taken off recently. Unfortunately, well before I could track down all the issues I was looking for.

 

one of my faves of all time  is Foghorn but I don't know his 1st comic book appearance. And does Bob Overstreet have a hatred of John Stanley or what!?!?? Just a small fraction of his work is in the Guide!!! Check out Stanleystories .com
