Having actually purchased a few of those keys as a kid circa 1972/73, I can tell you that at those prices you would have been lucky to get a VG copy. I'd forgotten that Overstreet has never been reliable when it comes to value of key books.

Anybody else noticed the big jumps for silverage prices between 1990 to 1994? there was huge increases, you could have doubled your money. This was before the internet and Ebay, I wonder if something like that would happen now? hm An example of this is ASM1.. HULK1.. XMEN1.. SHOW22.. GL1.. BB28

1990 2750.. 950.. 990.. 725.. 600.. 1100

1991 5600.. 2000.. 1900.. 2200.. 780.. 2200

then again

1993 6800.. 4000.. 2150.. 2250.. 2250.. 2600

1994 13500.. 7100.. 3000.. 3300.. 2300.. 3070

That Robert Overstreet sure had a lot of power back then,I would be very skeptical that prices would ever jump like that in today`s market conditions(internet/Ebay).

I bought my Spidey 1 VGF for $65 in 1975. I would have loved to be able to get a NM copy for $80.

 

Availability was also a significant issue in the early/mid '70s. Even if Overstreet was accurate, one might well be unable to locate a HG key.

I think you're confusing cause and effect. Prices were far outstripping the Guide in that time period--it just took some time for Overstreet to catch up.

True. I bought an X-Men #1 back then for $13.00 when it was valued at $8.00 in Overstreet.

Thanks. Wow - some of those just took off through the roof at the end of the 1970s.

 

No, where comics *really* blew up was between 1989-91 or so, when the sportscard dealers enveloped the hobby and prices skyrocketed. I think if you do the % increase math on many books, you'll find some very significant jumps in that range.

 

I can remember going to a show in 1987 and seeing a guy selling a stack of HG Hulk 181's for $30 a pop, then in 1989-90 these same books were $250+.

In 1990-1991 I think this when the Overstreet was monthly and the prices just went up every month like a stock market tracker. I remember going to shops and almost every decent Silver book sold as soon as they came in. It was a feeding freenzy with the prices exploding.

Yep, once the Sportscard dealers hit the market, OS started emulating Beckett, since that's what they demanded - constant price updates to fuel mass speculation.

You are not kidding!

 

A few years before, Silver Age books were very affordable. Not long after, prices started heading up-up-up. It was shocking how fast the change took place.

Also interesting are major keys not recognized back in 1971. Pep 22 was listed as part of the run from 21-29, listed at $10 in mint. Archie was not mentioned. Any other keys that were missed?

Exactly,back then we did'nt have the internet.Finding most key books were very hard to locate,and forget about grades VF was high grade stuff. :preach:

Exactly - I remember back in the mid-80's, right when the whole sportscard dealer "rookie card" phenomenon was taking effect in comics and driving previously-Commons appearances into the stratosphere, I was looking for a VF/NM or higher copy of ASM 14. I thought since the GG was Spidey's main villain, it would be a good pickup.

 

Remember, back then, villain first appearances was an emerging trend, and virtually none of them had any premium related to surrounding issues (Doc Doom is another great example). I remember reading OS updates around that time where some people were promoting them as "the next big thing".

 

I remember going from local show to larger TO show, back to local show, contacting a few mail order dealers, and finding NADA. And this is for a relatively common issue in the ASM run, not some GA rarity.

 

No matter what the Guide says, it was tough to find any early-SA key or soon-to-be key in high-grade.

Back then Overstreet only listed 3 grades and the price spread between low grade and high grade was a lot smaller.

 

In the mid 70s I paid $50 or NM price for a copy of FF #2 that was missing the top third of the front cover. When I asked the seller why he wanted a NM price he asked me if I had ever seen another copy. I hadn't so I paid. I still have that book and I've loved it for 35 years.

 

I'm also a dumb because a NM copy would be worth a pretty penny now.
