Broke as a Joke Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Boba Fett heat continues to rise. First time over $600 for this issue? So people looking for Boba third after Harley and Deadpool? eBay sale - Star Wars 42 CGC 9.8 on 5-10-2015 Well he is getting his own movie...he already was mega-popular, now who knows how big he will get. I just don't know what the normal Star Wars collector would rather have: Star Wars 42 or a vintage toy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikingreed Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I have a lot of friends who are Star Wars guys. They buy the figures and vehicles, and not the comics. Limited test group, but it has been that way for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakesComics Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Here's a question, guys? While SW #42 is Boba's 1st appearance in a comic wouldn't Marvel Super Special #16 be the 1st Boba Fett? I believe it pre-dates 42. Very similar to the MP #7/Hulk #271 deal with Rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So chasing "first appearances" of movie characters in comic books that are adaptations from other media really is a thing now? Speculators must be looking for pretty much anything to buy now.

Jeffro. Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Buzzkill He likes to apply his values only to anything that has to do with comics values or significance. Right or wrong, SW 42 seems to be the one that comic collectors want and that's all that seems to matter these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakesComics Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'd love to hear the other options. TMNT 1 would be my choice, but I'm not so dug in the trenches I couldn't be persuaded. Not that my opinion is of any consequence, but I enjoy the historical perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are by no means original comic book properties or creations. (Much like Harley, Boba, etc). (thumbs u -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
