Yes it’s bonkers. Hard to find them too, rarely do you see a copy go for sale. Collectors not letting go of these, part of reason it’s driving the price up. badback83 and PKJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Mephisto quite a bit in the Marvel universe, but I see him as a tough character to bring into the cinematic universe - assuming Disney/Marvel want to present to that PG & all-family type audience. Maybe a one-off movie villain for Dr. Strange? He’d seem to fit there best. But - saying that - Surfer 3 is a tough book, at least in 9.0+ grades & white pages. A 7.5 at $2K seems like a reach right now. I didn’t see the book - maybe it presented amazingly, or has pressing potential? Disney/Marvel did a pretty good job with Thanos, but IM 55 is indeed very plentiful in 9.0+ aardvark88 and jimjum12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold my 9.6 a few years ago for something around that amount. Prices on this stuff make zero sense. The IM 55 comparison is a perfect example.

jcjames Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 SS3 is probably the only SS issue in almost all runs pre-2014 that I don't have. Welp, may just need to not have one for a while more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickSp Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The MCU seems to be getting too powerful.... insane that pure speculation for a character turning up on screen drives prices so crazy. I can’t even remember the prices these comics used to have when I’d visit a comic mart back in the early 2010’s. HighVoltage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see that sale . . . only thing comparable to what you are describing I see is here and the actual sale price (if you go into the page source code) was $1350. This is the last reported GPA price as well. Still high, but not $2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is the MCU getting too powerful, it is the ease at which people can use social media (YouTube) as a platform and be an "influencer" personality you watch some of these speculation vids and 90% of what they say in regards to a character appearing in the MCU and a related book appearance is "you never know" Agnes from WandaVision becomes Agetha Harkness and then it tailspins into it's like we need to spec on the first appearance of her bunny rabbit that appeared in the show because maybe the bunny rabbit later becomes White Rabbit (ok, no one truly said that from what I saw but that is the mentality).... as if FF 94 should be a $100 book just people playing off of people's FOMO bc and BlowUpTheMoon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to upgrade my DD16 and half the sellers were using that pitch, my thought is maybe, but I am buying it for the artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
