because I said so

I guess same reason asn 252 is worth more than SW 8. No reason that makes any sense?

Nah, i think first appearances in main title runs usually bring in more than first app. or cameos in annuals or off-shoot titles but thats my uneducated guess

[joe_collector]

Because X-Men 266 is his first appearance with a nice cover pic and blurb, while that Annual bit was nothing more than an unintended cameo that somehow beat the regular book to the stands.

Except that in that case ASM 252 was out MONTHS before SW 8. Don't let continuity fool you as to what was on the shelves first. SW 8 is something like the 30th appearance of the black costume.

good point RR

well that does it for me, Annual 14 is way under valued in my book. HELL! the art is even better and it has a dark cover.

I think I've got a few unread copies. What does it guide at?

[supapimp]

OS 32 has it at $25, i paid $12 for a NM/MT copy along with a Annual 9 for $9 at the WC for Arthur Adams to sign for a CGC signature sub. damn! i'm starting to feel like Alex H. CGC 9.6 for below OS guide

[joe_collector]

I remember seeing a CGC 9.8 copy go for under $20, and more like $16.

[supapimp]

i'm sure there are gazillions of NM/MT copies out there, being a squarebound it's more likely to stay in HG.

Or you could look at it the other way and say that #266 is overvalued....

And what's so wrong about feeling like me??? I think that's a great book to have signed.

 

More on topic, but I'm surprised the example of Hulk 180 versus 181 hasn't been mentioned as a classic example of 1st full appearance/1st cameo appearance where the full appearance is more expensive.

[supapimp]

gambit was in 5 pages as noted in the OS, but that's not considered a cameo appearence. i might also add that if the book was regular sized and not a KING SIZED ANNUAL he would've been in more than a 1/3 of the book.

[Darthdiesel]

got a case of annuals to unload, Pimpy?

[supapimp]

seriously no, but i'd like a set of 30 days of night from you.

[Darthdiesel]

see a jump in ptice at wondercon?

[supapimp]

no, i posted a WTB thread in the marketplace about a month ago...so no.

[Darthdiesel]

i've been selling the set for $150 for forever now... it's yours if you want it...
