Mike's Rack Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 A book that will explode is Marvel Preview #2. It's tougher in high grade. I still haven't found a raw 9.8. and the slabbed ones I've seen are kind of weak IMO. It's the first Punisher origin issue and I think maybe his 2nd? 3rd? app.... Think Marvel Preview #4, and #7 (just to a lesser degree) It's not super rare in 9.4+, but I feel like it's currently undervalued. There's also Marvel Super Action 1 (link to info) An early appearance. Never read it but think that it does an origin retelling in flashback. Anyone read this? Just grabbed a mid grade copy, so will read it when it arrives. It's actually the first telling of his origin. I've had both of the Punisher B&W mags for years, and they're definitely worth having reader copies to thumb through along with higher grade ones to keep for the collection. The art is fantastic. Both issues were reprinted in 1989 as a 'Classic Punisher" single book. I prefer to read 'em magazine sized, but the reprints are dirt cheap if you wanna go that route to check it out http://www.ebay.com/itm/Classic-Punisher-Comic-Book-1989-/291490101566?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43de29f93e I agree with this 100%, the mags from those days were great. The stories were written to an older audience and the art looks great in black and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatest Lantern Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Does anyone think that Marvel Spotlight #32 is heating up? First appearance of Jessica Drew. I only keep tabs on the slabbed copies, but I paid (all prices in CDN by the way) $129.48 + 11 shipping for a 9.0 in April (BIN) Since then the following have sold 8.5- $135.66 +$18.65 shipping (BIN Apr 26) 9.0- $141.21 + $46.99 shipping (AUC May 10) 9.0 $246.60 +$19.86 shipping (BIN May 26) 9.0 $221.93 +$19.86 shipping (BIN May 27) That's a jump of around $100 since I bought mine. I only included the 9.0's and a 8.5 that sold for around the same as I paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeseFrog Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 If that's true, I would love to see it take Spider Woman 1 along for the ride. Both of those books have such iconic covers... Great reads as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygogolak Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Looks like my post killed the thread, so... Um yeah, punisher? Marvel Spotlight #32 has really jumped in value the past two years. How long ago are you talking about a comparison for the jump in price you mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatest Lantern Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 It's been a measly 2 months for that $100 price increase! And yes, I hope that the Spider Woman #1 takes off too, I have 10 copies of that in high grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonzilla Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Since Ant-Man will become Giant Man in Cap Civil War, now is a good time to grab those Power Man 24's while they're taking a nosedive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke as a Joke Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Why would Black Goliath have anything to do with Ant Man in the upcoming movies? Power Man 24 was one of those books that I hope you had and got rid of fast because it wont be worth more than it was this past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akaSteveRogers Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 If no one wants their PM #24 in HG...I'll take them off your hands. I wanted them because I'm a Black Goliath/Giant Man II fan not because of some silly speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the blob Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'm also now keeping an eye out for more copies of #32, just in case it is a book i hoarded when i could find nice copies in $1-$2 boxes 15 years ago. i am glad i have not sold too many for FMV over the years. one of the few i didn't unload too early.

Power Man 24 was one of those books that I hope you had and got rid of fast because it wont be worth more than it was this past year. If you are familiar with the Civil War story you would understand the correlation. I am familiar with Black Goliath getting killed at the beginning of Civil War in the comics. I am also familiar with the plot synopsis of the Civil War movie and nowhere is Black Goliath found. So how does it add up to a hot movie centric book?
