kimik Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Are 1st appearance Silver Age comics a good purchase now? Especially with the upcoming solo films within the DC Extended Universe? I was wondering about the first SA appearances of Aquaman or even Green Arrow? ~ Go back a few pages and you will see the debate re: 1st SA Aquaman books.

___ Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Avengers #83 9.6 $850.00 Very nice sale and pick up on the bay last night. I still feel pre-issue 100 is silver but anyway this book is doing very well in high grade if you can find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Kirby's new Green Arrow origin in Adventure #256 is one of my favorite DCs to buy. I think it has a future! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin76 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 With the current market prices on the Silver Age books, I'd say it's almost all heating up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadwick Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 With the current market prices on the Silver Age books, I'd say it's almost all heating up Really?

Which is great for long time collectors with long boxes full of the drek, but not for short term "key" chasers that get sucked in...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keys for all of the various ages are selling for high prices in all grades, with the key pool expanding by leaps and bounds as more and more characters are being rumored in upcoming movies. Definitely a healthier sign and a nice change from all the talk on CGC highest graded copies, which was much more of the focus the previous few years.

Not all keys are created equally. The key is to buy the weaker ones low and sell them high. That being said, even if they are down 66% from the new high, that is still higher than they started out at in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mijael.Levy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 All those overpriced "keys" with a villian appearing in the next movie are , because the villian isn´t really a well know character and he´s a gets killed on the movie . I remember people paying a lot of money for Sgt Fury 5 or avengers 55 if you like villians get well know villians Magneto, Loki , Dr Doom etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember people paying a lot of money for Sgt Fury 5 or avengers 55 if you like villians get well know villians Magneto, Loki , Dr Doom etc The 1st appearance of Magneto is definitely a book to get................as it features the 1st appearance of the X-Men as well. (thumbs u My point was that if you are chasing movie related 1st apps of villains or lesser characters the time to buy is well before the movie hype starts in earnest. The time to chase them is when a film is rumored/announced by the big two, not after it has been cast or is in production. Buy early and at low prices, flip at the peak, and even if you are stuck with a copy or two you will still be able to move them at a higher price than you accumulated them at.
