BAF countdown to 22 years of Marvel Comics!!! 1 1

[*Bronze age fan*]

I've gotta ask ... how many long boxes does it take to house every Marvel book from 1960 to 1979?

 

 

Whats up Bro? Well the years 1965 to 1979 Marvel put out 5,303 comics. Long boxes fit 250....so over 21 long boxes for those years. I have not figured out the total number of books Marvel put out from 1/1960 to 12/1964. I am sure I will now add them up now that your asked. OCD is a bad thing. I have about 70 long boxes of comics...

I have not figured out the total number of books Marvel put out from 1/1960 to 12/1964.

 

652 if you are measuring by cover dates.

 

Beginning with 4 cover-dated 'January' issues in September of 1959 through to 7 cover-dated 'December' issues released in October 1965.

 

667 if you are calculating by books released to the newsstand in January 1960 through December 1964.

80s baby!

 

 

Funny, I have a Want List for Marvel up to 3/1985, the last Marvel 60 cent issue. Comics lost something for me when they went to 65 cents. Sad part is i dont need that much more of that drek. So it will be 25 years of Marvel Comics. I think you understand the OCD, since you said 80s.

According to my research you have listed six books which have cover dates that predate January 1960.

 

A Date with Millie #1 (October 1959) and #2 (December 1959)

Kathy #1 (October 1959) and #2 (December 1959)

Patsy Walker #86 (December 1959)

Two-Gun Kid #51 (December 1959)

20 cent books rock! Come on now! I already have the six books outside the range that your pointed out. I had to get the first two Kathy and A Date with Millie...my OCD would not allow me to not finish them.

Numbers match then. (thumbs u

Thanks for checking it for me Bro!

 

 

I was looking thur an old price guide, Comic Values Monthly #51. Thats what got me back into collecting in Aug 1990, I bought CVM #51 and Spiden-Man #2 (the McFarland newer title new on the stands at the time)...after three years of stopping collecting in my teens. I wish I would have started buying the Marvel keys at that time. AF #15 and Amazing #1 were 3,500 each in NM, FF #1 3,300. in NM. Hulk #1 1,200 in NM. JIM #83 950. in NM. X-men #1 1,250. in NM. TOS #39 1,100. in NM. Avengers #1 900. in NM But I bought new books and bronze and copper back issues, the Mcfarland Spidey run, because I liked the art work alot. If I could only go back to 1990. Its just amazing how much these books have gone up over the years!

[Kevin.J]

I have an old catalogue that I bought from where AF #15 is £350 & ASM is £300.

Its all relative, I had just started work and my wages were around £10 per week at the time so these books were just as unaffordable then.

If only I could invent a time machine.

Yeah I know what you mean Bro, but in the 90s i was spending 100s of dollars on back issues. Putting in orders with dealers, hitting LCS finding back issues....but all the stuff I was buying was newer stuff, and stuff that has really gone no where. Just wish i would have just gone after the keys and left the drek alone for later. Hindsight is always 20 20.

The late 80s & 90s for me was a boom time and that is the point when I completed most of my Marvel collection, I still did wrong as I worked backwards.

I was a big Spidey fan and picked up back issues from 200 back over, like you say I should have bought from #1 at that point and worked forward.

For me getting 10 issues rather than 1 key issue always seemed better value.

Big mistake, but I am still making the same mistake now with DC stuff.

I have most titles from about 1957 on but I am continuing to chip away at them with the cheaper stuff.

I should be saving for the Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman etc number ones.

I think that its just that they seem so unachievable, the same feeling that in that old catalogue AF #15 & AMS #1 had seemed.

I guess I will never learn.

Just won this off Ebay. This is the rare....pinhole though the entire book copy. Quite rare. Could not find a copy of this for a long time. Just need one more issue of Millie for the #94 up run!!! Anyone have a copy of issue #97 for sale???

Just got this in the mail from Top City Comics. Great seller! This is the last issue of FF I need for the run to current!!!! This set took years for me to complete. Been buying FF and since the late 80s. This and Amazing are by far the most expensive runs to put together!
