SC22 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 FF1 is more valuable and JIM83 has been more popular in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not even sure where it truly stands in the top 5 SA Marvel books if it at all. I would start another topic ASM1 versus JIM83 because FF1 is in my opinion(I could be wrong but I am pretty sure this is accurate) for sure the more valuable book of the 3 in all grades.

KirbyJack Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'm all about FF 1 here; no brainer for me. I was very surprised to see JIM 83 ahead of ASM 1 in the Overstreet, however, so what do I know? FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namisgr Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) Fantastic Four #1 is, to me, the most important Silver Age comic of all, ushering in as it did the Marvel age of comics and beginning the Marvel Universe. So the book has more historical value than the other two. Since starting collecting comics in 1972 I wanted to own it more than any other Silver Age comic.

alexgross.com Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 perhaps defining what is meant by "value" would be useful. otherwise we can just look at GPA and some other recent sales to come up with a factual answer. do you mean value potential going forward?

Hard to tell what's going forward in value I want to know what book the boards hold as more value to own today.

alexgross.com Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 based on current prices, you'd pay the most for ff1 in any grade, so it's most valuable. but i vote spidey because in 5-10 yrs i dont believe that will be the case, so you will have gotten the most value for your money if put it into peter parker's britches.

FineCollector Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) I'm always astounded to see ASM 1 in the same company as those other books. No one builds runs anymore, it has the most hideous cover of the silver age, and it's a very minor key, so there's no reason to be paying what it costs, let alone expect prices to go up.

I doubt that no one builds ASM runs....it is probably the most popular run to build in the entire SA. Ryanfromottawa and AL Comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I believed that no one builds a run of ASM anymore (I don't believe that), in the current environment, people still build key collections. BTW, calling ASM 1 a "very minor" key is inflammatory. SC22 and AL Comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Kid Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) In order of personal preference I would pick JIM83, FF1 and then ASM1. That order is not applicable to value of each comic. Edited August 24, 2017 by Gotham Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrd Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 In personal order: ASM 1 ASM 1 ASM 1 FF1 JIM 83 that is all....................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spracknetch23 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 For my personal taste I'd say ASM 1 (and I actually like the cover. Not sure why it gets so much hate. Sure it could be better, but it's no ST 110 or NM 98, blech). For overall value, of the 3, I'd say definitely FF 1. No contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I always heard that JIM83 is the toughest to find of the big Marvel silver age keys ComicConnoisseur and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydogrules Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 While I can appreciate all the sympathy votes for FF 1, I think we all know in our heart of hearts the answer is ASM 1. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
