AGGIEZ Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Ayesha, Pip and someday soon...HIM! Fantastic Four 67 get em ready! Yes, that'll be one of the books to have, but I think THE book to have will be Thor #165...the 1st FULL appearance of HIM (Warlock). After a quick look, it looks like GPA is already trending that way: Fantastic Four #67 CGC 9.4 ~ $1,700 CGC 9.0 ~ $500 CGC 8.0 ~ $200 Thor #165 CGC 9.4 ~ $2,000 CGC 9.0 ~ $800 CGC 8.0 ~ $350 Obviously the other book to grab is Marvel Premiere #1. I think there is going to be a lot of fanboy confusion as to what book is the 'right' book to have once Warlock shows up so all three of FF#67, THOR#165, MP#1 should increase substantially. That's my $0.02... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my $0.02... Do you have the equivalent sales trend for MP 1? I believe the dollar figures for MP 1 would be substantially lower since it is a much later #1 book and hence, was much more highly collected in grade as opposed to the earlier Thor and FF books.

Bronx Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 There will be plenty of room to grow. Aggiez mentionns FF45 and IM 55 which are good examples but also look at the trajectory of FF 46, 52 and Strange Tales 110. Yep, I believe that Warlock done right will have ST110 legs as he was a huge factor in Starlin's birth of the Marvel Cosmic Universe and also in the Infinity series that rocked the Copper Age. And this is no Loki, Warlock is a hero and was the only one who could take down Thanos. That 9.0 current price will be a dream if he is done properly.

I'm curious how much rarer ST110 (1963) is than a book like Thor 165 (1966). A CGC 8.0 of ST110 could have been had for $2,000 five years ago. Now it's an $8,000 book...a 300% increase. Take a $350 price tag for a Thor 165 two years ago, with a similar 300% increase, and you've got a $1,000+ book. It's now a ~$350 book and has been for a while now...certainly some room to grow.

I remember picking up my first ST 110 and thinking the price was pretty low for such an important character. I considered myself lucky even when I purchased it. I have the same feeling when I pick up any Warlock key. I just happen to love FF 67 best. Great character, unlimited powers, and huge influence on the Marvel Universe. I wish I could address print run questions but will just have to check the census for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Strong result for a solid 6.5 AC252 at $5400. I'm sure the off-white pages helped, and it sure looked pretty to boot. AC252 CGC 6.5 For a book that maybe looked like it was cooling a little after the TV show hype, I'd definitely be happy if I was the seller.
