The Most Overvalued Comic Out There...

[reykjavik]

I was curious to see what you guys think: What do you think is the most overvalued comic around? Since its a CGC board lets limit it to CGC valued comics, since a comic has different value, and not always of equal ratio, slabbed and unslabbed. NOTE: that I when I say overvalued I don't necessarily mean expensive, just overvalued.

 

Ill start:

 

I think ASM #300 is way overvalued. Its an '88 book, with probably thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of decent copies out there. Its cool that people are getting $400+ for it, but considering there are nearly 2000 slabbed, I think its greatly overvalued.

 

Opinions?

Where's the poll?

There is none. I feel I dont want to limit people to just a few answers and I would rather have an answer with explanation.

Hulk 181.

Then perhaps you posted in the wrong forum. Read the description of this forum on the main page.

As for Hulk 181 I totally agree. As for the wrong forum...too bad. I looked through a lot of the posts in this forum and a non-poll question seems to be not only accepted, but a substantial minority (if not slight majority) of all the posts on this forum. So youll just have to long-hand type out your answer

I proppose we appease the masses make this a thread more of a listing of "Qualifiers" and we can all vote on the books that get mentioned.... In a week or so.

Sounds good!

I'd suggest F.F. 48, Hulk 102, and Silver Surfer 4 to start with.

Getting more overvalued every week due to movie hype:

 

ASM 136

Batman 232

Marvel Spotlight 5

X-Men 101

 

 

Damn shame too. Unless you're selling.

 

 

P.S. - I just sold my VF copy of Batman 232 for 2x what I bought it for in 2002.... and I bought it as a VF/NM from a disreputable seller.

True that, good thing I just found a 12 dollar copy of ASM 136 that needs to get slabbed Of course its at best a 5.0 but Im sure I can sell it for more than 12 bucks.

IMO, these books are overvalued:

ASM 300 - first app of Venom and McFarlane art. Yeh great.. it looks nice and everything but c'mon the book is painfully abundant and Venom is barely even used anymore.

Hulk 181 - sheer volume available puts this book in the category to me, that and I've never really liked Wolverine that much.

Ghost Rider 1 - it's a nice book, but it's the freakin 6th app of the character and it's worth more than MS 6-11. That makes sense...how?

I was going to say the entire ghost rider series, but since I have a few up for sale I passed on mentioning it

Using that logic,how do you feel about Cap America 100 or Iron Man #1. IM #1 is Tony Starks gazillionth appearence, and CA 100 is much more avilable than the previous months TOS 99.

It's his 1st appearance in his own title.

Hoards of these books were found.They are so common that I have gotten them free from dealer's over the years.

 

Oh, yeah, and ANY comic book about sports are over valued

[Stronguy]

Iron Man #55 - 1st Thanos... in a cameo. No way this book should sell for more than 20% over #54 and #56.

I am going with Bats 232...that's probably because I want one though.
