divad Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 What do you guys think of Shazam 28. The prices have been going up monthly. Possible speculation on The Rock playing Black Adam? Low CGC census, is that due to no one caring or low print runs? Sold a mid grade for $50 recently. Not particularly easy to find for some reason. I don't even know where my high-numbered Shazams are . . . the attic maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think Shazam 28 will blow up though. I've been trying to grab some and they're getting harder to find and the prices are slowly increasing. I guess if Black Adam doesn't show up in a movie it could die down? Im betting on it though I got lucky on Avengers 55, Iron Man 55, Jimmy Olsen 134, and New Teen Titans 2. On the other hand I've lost money on a Super Heroes first apps go figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonzilla Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 If you can track down 15-20 copies of Shazam 28 and unload 'em fast, you can buy Black Adam's real 1st appearance http://www.ebay.com/itm/Marvel-Family-1-Captain-Mary-JR-Golden-Age-Fawcett-/371045467478?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item5664088556 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Marvel-Family-1-Fawcett-12-45-CGC-4-5-Restored-Grade-/261423560220?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item3cde0ef61c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Kids, Comics! Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 You would think "THE WORLD'S MIGHTIEST VILLAIN RETURNS" on the cover would be enough.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclops Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 People pay plenty of money for Batman #234. That's not a first appearance, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slym2none Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 That always got me... I mean, it isn't a new character, nor a new person playing an old character. It is the "first Silver Age appearance," which to me, sounds like it should hold as much water as "first full appearance," as that line only appears when it isn't the first actual appearance. -slym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there are tons of examples of later "first appearances" being worth good coin. Avengers 4, countless batman villains, etc. I'm not saying youre going to send your kid to college with this, just that I think you can make a nice flip.

This whole "First Silver...", "First Bronze..", etc. appearances is just pure BS concocted by OS and their dealer coalition to drive demand towards more available books. A lot of these GA books are quite rare, so instead of looking for them fruitlessly, the OS advisors decided to artificially create new first appearances based on era. Those books were easily obtainable, and flipped for massive profits, so the trend continued. But it's just one big scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonzilla Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Got a really nice (9.0-9.2) Shazam 28 at a LCS yesterday for $9, so I need a dozen more or so to find and flip to get a Marvel Family #1. Seriously, I've wanted that book ever since I was a kid and read the abbreviated version in the View Master reels "Good Guys Gift Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
