zosocane Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Cool? No, it's sad seeing all the monkeys dance their dance time after time. Yeah I guess it is tiresome, but how else would a book like Thor 132 or 133 ever shoot up in value without some movie hype around it. I don't see any harm unless you are trying to complete a run of Thor and now a couple of books became a little harder to obtain. I don't think people will be doing hoops to buy the first appearance of Ego I said the same thing about Howard the Duck and Rocket Raccoon after GOTG1. People are bananas. True. But everyone had heard of Howard the Duck and I think many of us knew of Rocket, so I think these books have collectible value in them in grade. But "Ego"? No. This is comic book speculation at its finest -- has nothing to do with collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. This is comic book speculation at its finest -- has nothing to do with collecting. Strictly speaking, Ego is a lot more important than Rocket Raccoon. If no one would have used (and thwarted) Rocket Raccoon in this "Guardians of the Galaxy" the character's popularity would be very limited. Also, one should also think "globally" nowadays: each and every italian reader of Thor in the 1970s and the 1980s still remembers Ego, while Howard the Duck was basically never been published here (until recently, as they did an Omnibus). On top of all that, Ego was created by (Stan Lee and) Jack Kirby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thor 132 is a warehouse find. It'll take a great deal of buying to corner the market with that book. True, there are 66 CGC Universal in 9.8 alone, 367 in 9.4 or above. Those are big time numbers for a SA book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over time, Chuck sold off 100s (it wouldn't surprise me if it was more than 1,000) high-grade copies of that book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaillant Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It’s a single storyline. :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhymenoceros Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Looks like census on #133 is only 134 copies total, the first full appearance (and first cover appearance??). It sounds like the cameo is just on the last page of 132. I like 133, especially since at this point in time it's "rarer" in high grade vs. 132.

jimjum12 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 One should get both..... especially at current prices. Right now is the first time in years that I don't have a high grade 133...... it's one of my favorite SA Marvels...... great cover and the interior is full of Inspired Off The Chain Kirby.... square in the middle of the Inhumans/ Galactus/ Surfer/ Black Panther/ Him peak period.

erp3c Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Tales to Astonish 44 keeps climbing with two pretty good results in the last 24 hours: a 6.5 went for $900 and a 5.0 went for $525: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tales-to-Astonish-44-CGC-5-0-OW-W-1st-Appearance-of-Wasp-/331757604234?hash=item4d3e4b4d8a%3Ag%3At-sAAOSwqrtWnZ9T&autorefresh=true&nma=true&si=iHPFJfLz6uWz4gaBkXnUT2bVk1E%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 http://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/tales-to-astonish-44-marvel-1963-cgc-fn-65-off-white-to-white-pages/a/121604-14629.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515#auction-info Tales to Astonish 49 (first Giant Man) also has seen a big jump lately.

After March I'd say the buy in may be exceptionally more difficult to achieve unless you're Daddy Warbucks or the Monopoly guy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Anyone notice the crickets and tumbleweeds blowing through this joint? That's because the Silver Age market is stagnant. The Modern market is where the action is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
