No worries. We'll make room for these on the Bronze Age Keys list. I think we're only up to 120 books so far on that one. :P

Obviously these are important in some way because of their featured first appearances, but do these books hold any extra collectibility value because of them?

 

Many yes - but also many would be no as well right now. Brave & The Bold 200 can go for $45-$60 when in 9.8 condition. So you won't make a fortune selling this one. But you also won't be giving them away. Many would fall into the speculation camp as there is always a chance the characters will relaunch or get the right level of new attention.

 

But books like The Realm #4 (1st Deadworld) have been speculated on for many years due to rumors of a movie deal. Yet nothing ever comes of this news. So it is always better to buy what you enjoy from this list, and if it never goes up in value there is no concern on your part. Either way, you have books which fit your collecting focus.

Alien #1 Dark Horse is a Copper key but it is no way the 1st appearance of Aliens in comic format. The Heavy Metal May 1979 issue and Alien: The Illustrated Story fight for that status.

If Rocket Raccon's 1st appearance is accepted as being Marvel Preview #7 (magazine) then the same must go for Alien, right?
