Which comics are way underpriced ?

[BigLeagueCHEW]

Watching the auctions, imo the feeding frenzy level on SA auctions for the 5 major ongoing titles would go:

 

1) ASM

2) FF (CLOSE 2nd)

3) X-men(pretty close 3rd)

4) Avengers (DISTANT 4th)

5) DD( VERY distant 5th)

 

Again, i'm not questioning the superiority of Spidey but it still seems to me like X-men 1 is a pretty underpriced book in the 7.0-9.0 range imo

 

It's because it is treated pretty much like any other #1.

 

The characters that were introduced are .

 

Beast = okay your a hairy guy with muscles

Cyclops = okay you shoot a red beam out of your eyes

Marvel Girl = need I say more

Xavier = okay you can read minds

 

None of them are cool like Spider-man.

 

The team always changed and every other issue was a new mutant.

 

I can see your point BUT you're forgetting 3 other 1st appearances in that book, Angel, Iceman AND Magneto. The rest may be pretty but nobody can tell me that Magneto isn't bad to the 10th degree!

 

Angel = I can fly

Iceman = pretty cool

Magneto = True, not a bad character, I would agree with you

Well, Dark Angel is pretty cool and technically his real first appearance is XM 1.

Hey, i'll admit i'm biased. When i was a kid, i thought the Dark Phoenix saga was probably the coolest, most awesome story that could ever be in a comic book so i even think Cyclops and Jean Grey are pretty cool (thumbs u

I never cared of Cyclops. Not sure if they ever did it 'cause I've been out of the loop for so long, but I always wanted them to make a Jean Grey who can control her Dark Phoenix powers and keep her sanity. That would be a cool solo character.

It's true Magneto is a very cool character, but not "bad to the 10th degree!".

 

Not like Dr. Doom

 

or Thanos

 

or Galactus

 

or even Ultron or Loki...

 

 

But still, a key character in the Marvel pantheon.

Magneto= WAY cooler than Dr.doom

Magneto= not even close to Thanos's badassness(who is?!?)

Magneto= WAY cooler than Galactus

Magneto=Not even close to Ultrons badassness(again, who is?!?)

Magneto=WAY cooler than Loki (Loki?!? Is that a joke?!?)

 

Can you tell I love the X-men and Avengers but hate the FF???

[USArmyParatrooper]

Ultron

 

Magneto=Not even close to Ultrons badassness(again, who is?!?)

 

Thanos

Disagree here dont think its undervalued at all.

 

Lower printed yes and tougher to find, but not undervalued.

 

I totally disagree. Not only low print, but first appearance of a popular character and you can get a CGC 9.8 for $150 or less. I've seen CGC 9.8 variants of meaningless comics go for more.

 

 

So what exactly was the print run on NYX #3? I've been picking up 1st appearances of modern characters pretty cheaply but this issue that is still very modern I haven't been able to find even raw for under $90.

 

To be honest I don't know the print run. I was just assuming Fastball was correct. I'm surprised you can't find a raw one under $90, since you can buy CGC 9.8 copies for $125-150. Hell for 90 bucks you can easily buy a CGC 9.6 copy.

I am not disagreeing this book is selling well lately and will continue to sell well in the near future. I just dont think its undervalued and really unless there is some push by Marvel I see it becoming the next Uncanny 266. Hot for a few years then stagnant. The only difference would be a lower print run. This character isnt Deadpool and until it can carry titles like that character can I dont think it deserves the money its getting right now. If I had copies I would be flipping now. BTW you can get VF/NM to NM copies for $50-70 right now just not on ebay. Look around.

 

Really if NYX does hold its value then Wolverine Origins 10 should be a blockbuster in a few years as well. It seems to follow the same logic with a slightly higher print run.

 

Ha, I got Wolverine Origins #10 for like $6-$7 raw. I was buying 1st appearances (1st Deathstoke, John Constantine, Spider-Woman, etc.) up until I got burned on eBay on an ASM #300 that ended up having a water-damaged cover. After that incident I decided to stop buying individual comics that cost more than $20.

 

I just found it surprising that X-23's 1st appearance just smokes Daken's by a wide margin in the resale market.

And, if you are lucky, you can find a copy of NYX #3 REAL cheap. I found my copy amongst the drek at Vintage Stock. I paid around $2.50 for it. Although it's not a 9.8, I'm guessing it's in the 9.2-9.6 range (I should find out for sure soon as I just submitted it a few weeks ago for grading).

Smokin' deal find there. I'm happy to *hopefully* getting shipped to me What If #105 (1st Spider-Girl) for $11.00 soon.

You should check out this company called "CGC". I hear they'll catch that stuff for you.
