Popular Post badback83 Posted March 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2021 I’m saying this right now. IF, and that’s a big if, my X-Men 1 3.0 will buy me an AF 15, that baby is gone!

silverseeker Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 It will be interesting to see how these prices hold up over the next year or two...if the people selling Bitcoin and other investments to buy X-Men #1 are true collectors I could see prices continuing to be strong. However, if the majority of people scooping up copies of X-Men #1 are just investors hoping it continues it's meteoric climb I can see things playing out differently. Only time will tell, but this market feels like it's too crazy to be sustainable... KCOComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy having a copy of X-Men 1. I like the X-Men, always have. I’ve owned a few different copies in my life. I like Spider-Man. I’ve NEVER had an AF 15. I would seriously like to own the biggest SA dog in the yard. Would I miss the X-Men? Yes. Would the AF 15 help get me over it? Yup.

Popular Post TheBook Posted March 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2021 I may be one of the few, but X-Men 1 over AF15 every day of the week. I'll never sell my XMen 1. I still cant even believe I own a copy. dikran, Jasonmorris1000000, srezvan and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still cant even believe I own a copy. I can't join you on that island lol. For me personally, I would take AF15, FF1, JIM83 and Hulk 1 over X1. I actually like the cover to Avengers 1 and TOS39 better than X1s cover. I own one, I'm happy I have it, I wouldn't sell it (because I would never replace it at theses prices), but it's borderline top 5 for me.

speedcake Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 4 hours ago, Batmanis#1 said: It's sustainable X-Men 1 was undervalued to me current prices are more respectable for what it is and it still has room in my opinion. Same goes for JIM83 and SC22. This is a good point. A decent % of X-Men #1's climb in value is certainly the book "catching up" after being severely undervalued for ages and ages. The market will correct at some point, likely, but I doubt its a book that will ever be as inexpensive as it had been over the last couple of decades. Having just recently finally gotten my own copy, I am in no hurry to sell it. I intend it to be my keeper as I am working on completing the run. But I can't lie and say the thought isn't deep, far, deep in the back of my mind that at some point I could trade up to a more significant comic like an AF15 or FF1, two books I'd also love to have a nice copy of. But for now no way. I love my copy. Jasonmorris1000000, RetiredOldMan, PKJ and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be several years ugh Or it could peak when into the 4th or 5th X-men film 20 years from now. RetiredOldMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreck-It Ralph Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I just bought a JIM 85 which was a nightmare to find and a TTA 35, my next plan was to get a TOS39 but I hear AF15 is on a downward spiral so should I buy the AF15 before the TOS39 what do you think?

Second, you heard wrong about AF15. See the mis-titled thread about AF15 (the author mistakenly thought it was tanking back in 2019)--more recent posts to that thread discuss its continuing strong performance. TOS39 is a great book too, but you should understand that, quite probably, AF15 will only get further out of your reach. Do you really want to put AF15 off any longer if you could manage to get one now? Just food for thought.

Sorry I have only just joined and not very knowledgable, I am an action figure collector with a few comics who heard AF15 was losing its flavour so thought now might be a good time to buy, hence my questions.

I collected comics for most of my life and never watched a movie until about a year ago. Me and my 8 year old watched the first Avengers. It was ok. I did watch the Netflix shows and WandaVision which I like. I'll go back and watch some of the other movies as my kids get interested, but I'm a reader.

Welcome to the Boards! What it is true about AF15, which could be important to you if you are on the fence about aquiring one, is that it is relatively undervalued because it has not been the main focus of the frenzy we have seen the past few months. But if very common bronze and copper keys are going haywire, its just a matter of time before folks appreciate even more that AF15 is akin to an Action Comics 1 or Detective Comics 27, but for the Silver Age, of course.

KCOComics Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) You guys take the thread high jacking serious around here lol. @Wreck-It Ralph AF15 is not in a downward spiral. It got insanely hot until about 2017, then stagnated to an extent. It's still the king and no SA book will ever catch it. Prices seem to be recovering and I doubt you'll ever see 2011 or 2012 prices again and the prices will just keep rising from here (if 60 year trends are any indication) Also, welcome to the boards!
