blahposh Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 What are some of the undervalued key issues from Bronze age? I have these on my watchlist and my thinking behind them - 1979 Marvel Premiere #47. Scott Lang 1st app as Ant-man. Post Infinity-War, MCU will likely focus on a new core of Avengers, it appears Ant-man will be a regular. - 1976 Nova #1. This is Nova 1st app, since MCU is going cosmic and Infinity War is bound to introduce Rich Rider after Thanos destroyed Xander, potentially a Nova solo movie in the near future? - 1980 X-Men 129. 1st of Emma Frost and Kitty Pryde. Two of the most influential female character in the X-Men universe. what's on your list? ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisco37 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 All 3 I’d those have had run-ups. MP47 was awhile ago (when the AM movie came out). Xmen 129 most recently. Might be a little meat still left on the bone. I’d say it’s got the biggest potential of the 3 as they are the first apps of some pretty major characters. Nova? There are too many “more important” cosmic characters. If it’s cheap, maybe pick up and hope for a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your question followed by Marvel only books in your list seems to be the crux of the problem. Expand your horizons.

You could target something more exotic and off most people's radar. For example, try finding a Marvel Team-Up #1 in 9.8 W. It isn't the fiirst appearance of any character but I think collectors need to think beyond that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lonzilla Posted January 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2018 Strange Tales #181 - 1st FULL appearance of Gamora. 180 is just a cameo and her name isn't revealed until 181.

A speculator would have to be even dumber than the average speculator to think buying random non-keys will ever make any money for them. 3 hours ago, Lonzilla said: Strange Tales #181 - 1st FULL appearance of Gamora. 180 is just a cameo and her name isn't revealed until 181.

"Dumb" is a harsh word but it happens, a la the prices paid for WWBN #32 in 9.8. Those people will never see their money back. Rarity can work for anyone if they make intelligent choices.

NoMan Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) It hurts my feelings that you guys don't like MP 47. I love AntMan. I bought a MP 47 in 9.8 WP for like $550.00. (I seem to be the only one dumb enough to say what I actually spent on certain comics.) I was hoping to sell if for 3k by the time of the new AntMan movie and finally say good bye to all you 4th graders. Come to think of it I have a 9.2 pedigree one, too. Some kinda pedigree up in Canada, the Montatumbo pedigree or something. I gotta a COA to prove to ya'll Yeah, I just checked GPA, another colossal NoMan failure. Good thing I like these comics Edited January 29, 2018 by NoMan Checked GPA (in hind-sight, of course) for guaranteed bummer factor ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian48 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I've been seeking reasonably priced copies of Vampire Tales #2 (first Satana) for a little while now, but I think it might have caught on with other folks as well. Graded copies are priced way, way above of what you'd might expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I like these comics Ant-Man probably has the worst rep of any Marvel superhero movie recently. Ant-Man 2 is coming out this summer and there is absolutely no buzz about it. Aquaman has more buzz. With that said I thought the MP 47 was a cool take on Ant-Man and enjoyed the Ant-Man movie. Hopefully Ant-Man 2 changes the perception of Ant-Man.

I think the Starlord/Rocket Racoon combo got everyone looking through the b&w line to see what other 1st appearances were hidden away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjolnir! Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ms. Marvel #1 is a book I believe is still undervalued. Eventually Marvel will feature their first female super-heroine movie and my bet is, it will be Ms. Marvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put money on Captain Marvel being Marvel's "first female super-heroine movie". I'll also bet that they cast Brie Larson in the role and release the movie on March 8, 2019.
