ygogolak Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Keep in mind that the high sale was for $1,250.00 (!!) last year though. If I had $1250 laying around I sure wouldn't spend it on a Hulk 271 Seems a little better than Shazam #28. A second appearance book vs "1 st Bronze age" appearance book. Which is the more perplexing? The fact that people try to figure out why others pay $x for a book. If it helps, those are both second appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that neither is a first appearance is perplexing At least Shazam 28 is a 2nd appearance where the first appearance, Marvel Family 1, is next to impossible to find. Both Hulk 271 and Marvel Preview 7 are readily available. I did not know Black Adam appeared in only one comic prior to the Shazam #28 appearance. Wow. Learn something every day. In my opinion, that just makes #28 that much more desirable. Maybe I'm crazy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite comically I might ad. If you want to read the story pick up a reader of Shazam #8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vane Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) DC Super-Stars #17 CGC 9.6 @ $91 & 26 watchers. Keep in mind the 9.4 ended up selling for $193. I think that's a fair price considering what the last 9.8 sold for. What did the 9.8 sell for? $1080 back in last December. Ebay Sale Link The All-Star Comics #58 (Power Girl First Appearance) on Comiclink went $1150, that's $70 more than the DC Super-Stars #17. Wow! both of these books are hot right now. http://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAuctions%2Fdefault%2Easp%3FFocused%3D1%26pg%3D34%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%23Item%5F1047816&id=1047816 Edited February 25, 2015 by vane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it went higher than I expected. there will be plenty of others where that came from I certainly hope this sale will bring out more 9.8 copies. However, given what I've seen so far on the other books that have ended on ComicLink, speculation on key issues have taken a whole new level.

If you want to read the story pick up a reader of Shazam #8 So, I guess that makes it two comics in which he appears Some may look at it that way, much like an ad or preview is a 1st. More so it is accepted that a reprint in not a "new" appearance. Like Where Monsters Dwell #6, it's not widely considered the 2nd Groot, the perception is Hulk Annual #5.

I went big on it (I thought, haha) and still got buried. This CL auction has a ton of books going for big money. Good time of year for it I suppose.
