GeeksAreMyPeeps Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 For 4, I like how CGC does it. If the character appears first without costume, it's first appearance of the character's real name. Then if the character appears in costume, it's first appearance of character's real name as (superhero). However, if the costume appears first without revealing the identity it's 1st Superhero. Then if the character appears without the costume it's 1st real name. Market-wise in most cases, it's whichever is printed 1st is worth the most money. Except War Machine, Ant Man, Venom, and even Cable all appeared in costume 2nd and those are the money books right? Insofar that Venom is a combination of a person and a symbiote, it's not until the two come together that it's really Venom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakesComics Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 It's borderline BA/CA, but look how much Spectacular Spidey #64 has dried up on ebay. Someone might be hoarding that one. I always thought it was a bit underappreciated. Cloak & Dagger were big time back in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, TTA#27 is erroneously listed as the first appearance of Ant-Man even though it's Hank Pym in street clothes. He becomes Ant-Man in TTA#35 and it's listed as Ant-Man's 2nd appearance... Shouldn't Avengers #59 be the 2nd appearance of Yellowjacket then?

I'm not sure how I feel about Ant-Man's first appearance. The Fantastic Four didn't get their costumes until issue #3 so is that their first appearance?

Hard to call it a cameo if the supposed cameo appearance doesn't look anything like the guy, right? It's very htf in high grade, and I love the cover, but if what's inside the cover matters at all, there really isn't a whole lot to work with here.

stroszek Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Not that it's worth any money, but Giant-Size Conan #1 is listed as 1st app Belit simply because her name is mentioned on one page that sums up Conan's history. She's not even drawn. Worst labeled first appearance of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
