PeterPark Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Finally! I have all the top 25 bronze comics at the time an Overstreet comes out. Those Vampirellas from last year threw me a little bit. This year's top 25: 1. Star Wars 1 35 cent variant 2. Incredible Hulk 181 3. Iron Fist 14 35 cent variant 4. House of Secrets 92 5. Cerebus 1 6. Green Lantern 76 7. Scooby Doo 1 (gold key) 8. Marvel Spotlight 5 9. Giant Size X-Men 1 10. Amazing Spider-Man 129 11. Star Wars 2 35 cent variant 11. Star Wars 3 35 cent variant 11. Star Wars 4 35 cent variant 14. Iron Man 55 15. X-Men 94 16. DC 100 Page Super Spectacular 5 16. Hero for Hire 1 18. Batman 227 18. Batman 251 20. Uncle Scrooge 179 21. Amazing Spider-Man 101 21. Tomb of Dracula 10 23. All-Star Western 10 23. Batman 232 23. Detective Comics 411 Lots of good stuff in there but does anyone think Overstreet is stil undervaluing any issues? Obviously TOD 10 would be ticking up after the Mahershala Ali announcement...

PeterPark Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Now that I'm thinking about it, Werewolf by Night 32 seems like an oversight...and Special Marvel Edition 15 would be there with the price bump. paul747, Skunkboy and ComicConnoisseur 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Will Iron Man #55 still be on this list in a year or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Pontoon Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Unfortunately, yes, it will still be there. Thanos has legs, folks of all ages know him as a major character. One of my few regrets is selling my copy early on when the price was rising, expecting another MCU villain bump and drop after the film came out.

kimik Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I am looking at this list from a value perspective rather than character significance perspective. IM #55 has dropped decently since Endgame, and will be surpassed by other titles in short order (it is already worth less than other books listed below it). If the list is based on prices, which it basically has been in the past, then I can see it sliding out next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWBN 32 (there are 5 books I could replace on the list with this book) , ToD 10 (already on the list). The market ebbs and flows. As Peter said, SME 15 will also be on there next year (well should be, but looking at this list I don't think it will). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divad Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 My personal take on what can be dropped from the list: This year's top 25: 1. Star Wars 1 35 cent variant 2. Incredible Hulk 181 3. Iron Fist 14 35 cent variant 4. House of Secrets 92 5. Cerebus 1 6. Green Lantern 76 7. Scooby Doo 1 (gold key) 8. Marvel Spotlight 5 9. Giant Size X-Men 1 10. Amazing Spider-Man 129 11. Star Wars 2 35 cent variant 11. Star Wars 3 35 cent variant 11. Star Wars 4 35 cent variant 14. Iron Man 55 15. X-Men 94 16. DC 100 Page Super Spectacular 5 16. Hero for Hire 1 18. Batman 227 18. Batman 251 20. Uncle Scrooge 179 21. Amazing Spider-Man 101 21. Tomb of Dracula 10 23. All-Star Western 10 23. Batman 232 23. Detective Comics 411 I think the entire list should be redrawn. So many of these are no longer relevant. NP_Gresham and Jshaffer7390 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some Whitman variants that are fetching interesting prices now. Edited July 24, 2019 by kimik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) I am thinking of CGC 9.4 prices for the list. WWBN 32 should already be on there (higher than ASM 129 as well), and SME 15 may hit the list soon as well. Depending on what DC does with Darkseid, JO #134 could break the top 25 list in the near future. It is on the bubble right now, unless it has pulled back recently (I have been outbid on the last two I was chasing), and I would put it there ahead of ASW #10 (Jonah who?). Value-wise, Tec #400 should also be there ahead of Batman #232. Then there are a few other 1980 Whitman variants that fetch big $$$ as well (although I am not sure if they top $1900 in CGC 9.4). A couple of CDN newsstand editions may hit the mark in a year or two as well, depending on the BA cut off date. If I think about it further I am sure there are a few other books I am missing as well.

Detective Comics 411 I think the entire list should be redrawn. So many of these are no longer relevant. X-Men 94 definitely should stay on the list and still relevant imo. I mean you got the first regular X-Men issue with the new team and this is where Chris Claremont's begins his X-Men run which most of all the X-men movies shown are based off. scooter99, southern cross and WolverineX 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazyboy Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 You guys know this list is solely based on the random numbers that appear in the OPG, right? It has nothing to do with importance or actual values. RockMyAmadeus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH181 being near the top spot is definitely not random or coincidental, Hulk 181 is up there because of it's importance and it happens that the actual value of the book coincides with how important the book is.

PeterPark Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 The plot thickens. Overstreet lists WWBN 32 at $1500 which would put it at rank 15. Incredible Hulk 180 is listed at $850 which would put it at #26 but I believe that is undervalued. WWBN 32 should be on that list. The interesting thing is, apparently no issue listed in this year's top 25 was not in last year's top 25 according to Overstreet's own previous year rank. But if you actually look at last year's listed top 25 (in the 48th Overstreet), it doesn't exactly correspond to what this year says last year's were.
