I mostly agree with your post here. Although I would NOT include TTA #27, at all, EVER! This is a "dead" character and one that nobody will ever follow, other than those who grew up with him. I don't care if he turned into Antman and then Giantman. There's just no market in that character, and it's more than evident that he's GONE. Too many re-inventions on a less than palpable character will do that I guess. I've got to say, I thought the TOS 39 would be doing better with the new movie hype and all, but it aint so. I agree Avengers #1 is VERY overvalued! I would take an Avengers #4 WAY before an AV 1! First SA Cap appearance, with that iconic cover, oh yeah! (thumbs u

Your statement above is a joke, right? Hulk 1 is available? In grade? really? How many in grade compared with ASM #1? Hulk #1 is the 1st appearance of a major Marvel character...can you say the same for ASM #1?

Definately agree you with you on the X-men 1, what happened here was for far too many years the fanboys put way too much importance on GS X-men1 and

X-men 94,this led to much neglect to X-men 1.

From what I have heard there will be an Ant-man movie but it might be this Ant-man instead

I don't readily know the significance of the book off the top of my head, my guess is many don't either

AMAZING FANTASY 15 FOR SURE MANY YEARS OF APPRECIATION

this is "the" bluechip SA book...

 

X-MEN 1 ( EXTREMELY UNDERVALUED)

I would agree...with 9.4s pushing 100K (will have to watch the clink 9.2 and 9.4)

 

ASM 1 ( EXTREMELY UNDERVALUED- YES SIREE- 1st ISSUE REGARDLESS)

I think the market has valued it appropriately...will always experience demand, though I doubt any "huge" price increases are in store...steady

 

AVENGERS 1 (LOVE THE BOOK BUT OVER VALUED)

it was run up (movie hype) and has cooled down, but still above former levels...important enough SA book, but second tier to the "big boys"

 

TTA #27 (UNDERVALUED AND TOUGH TO FIND CLASSIC)

relatively comman, and tougher to sell at strong prices (i.e. rising)...weaker SA demand, no reason demand will increase relative to supply

 

JIM 83 (THOR WILL RULE THE SILVER SCREEN SOON)

great book, tough in higher grade, good demand relative to supply, always seems to sell well

 

TOS 39 (SEVERELY UNDERVALUED)

this book ran up quite a bit with the Iron Man movie...I suspect other than high grade (as in 9.0 and higher), it is fully valued and will experience mild value increase at best

 

 

NOT SHOWCASE 22- A CGC 4.0 GARY DOLGOFF CANNOT FETCH $1200 ON EBAY NOW WATCH!

this book, much like AF 15 of 2008, has experienced INCREDIBLE upward price movements in the past year and is , as expected, going through a cooling off period... look for strong demand (second wave) as movie is closer... readily available in lower grade, near impossible in high grade...

 

NOT HULK 1 (OVERVALUED - THEY ARE AVAILABLE AND NOT AS ICONIC AS SPIDERMAN SO SHOULD NOT BE IN SAME LEAGUE AS ASM1). BOTH MOVIES FLOPPED DESPITE 2ND MOVIE IMPROVEMENT

not going to harp on what every other poster has mentioned... this is among the toughest of all SA key books to find in grade, and has the greatest potential for price increase, except there is not enough supply to drive up prices relative to demand...if more copies came to market, we would see a HUGE explosion in pricing...but, I think most folks realize that lower grade is pretty much the majority of supply

My thinking is almost the same...but Gator has more market insight than me.

 

TOS 65 is the first SA appearance of the Red Skull -- possible run up, if there is going to be one, it will be in the second half of 2010. This book will likely

 

AF 15 -- look for stabilization and actually a drop in prices (as has already occurred in 2009 in grades 6.5 and below). Long term, the best SA book to me.

 

X-Men 1 -- Maybe in high grade, otherwise, I see very little movement on this book in mid and low grades.

 

ASM 1 -- Likewise, no real reason for this book to move up dramatically in any grade in 2010

 

Avengers 1 -- agree with the consensus, cool book ,but over valued and over rated.

 

TTA 27 -- tough to find in high grade, but otherwise, who cares. Ant Man? Really?

 

JIM 83 -- potential for showcase 22 esque run up. If the Thor movie gets good buzz, this book could absolutely explode.

 

TOS 39 -- had a run up, but expect that and Iron Man 1 to have another resurgence, but I expect a slow and steady gain.

 

 

Keep your eyes out for:

 

TTA 44 - 1st Wasp, a tough book and presuming the Avengers moves come to bear, Wasp is the most important female (arguably) in the Marvel Universe. Want to talk undervalued and tough to find in high grade? That's this book.

 

TOS 50, 52, 57 -- in general, TOS is picking up steam. The first Mandarin, first Black Widow, and first Hawkeye will all continue to pick up steam.

 

Cap 100 -- I normally wouldn't put this on here... but I think similar to Iron Man 1 Cap 100 will have a similar run up -- it's a cheaper alternative with a very cool cover.
