jools&jim Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) I know this has been discussed ad nauseam, but it's still true, and (especially for the younger folk) bears repeating, along with what I am sure is a re-post of one of many primary sources from the era (see below): for those of us who were there, the first appearance of Wolverine was pretty much a big back then; Claremont, Cockrum, and Byrne, on the other hand, was where it was AT, baby!

Not much better than Rogofsky’s ‘ Do not ask for or expect a mint copy’. Even by 1980, grading was getting a bit more stringent than a VG to NM crapshoot.

WolverineX Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Nice! Just wait..X94 is way undervalued compared to GSX1 and Hulk 181 these past few years. First Chris Claremont FTW. That guy is a truly gifted storyteller. Plus, its the coolest cover... this is coming from a Wolverine fan.

makeminemarvel Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Pretty cool seeing this price list. I ordered some books from Mile High back in the day. Had to pay $2.00 for some of those Avengers to get my run back to issue #150. had no idea about first appearances back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jools&jim Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Also note that ASM 129 isn't broken out at all, and Conan 1 outperforms them all. The listing for Marvel Super Special 7 (Sgt. Pepper's) for $2.00 is also interesting, given that it was never published/distributed here in the US...

kimik Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 WWBN 32 and TOD 10 were dirt cheap back then as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semicentennial Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 You could have had eight copies of ASM #129 for the same price of one Howard the Duck #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer I brought it from said the other year that it's impossible since he would never have priced it so low because Hulk 181 was a hot pricey book right from the get go. With the sky high prices that Mile High is generally known for, I guess this ad from them proves that my memory is clearly better than the dealer that I brought the book from.

BrooksR Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Yeah x-men 94 and giant sized 1 cost more than anything else on the page. Oh, to have a time machine... Why does star wars 4 cost more than 2 or 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolverineX Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 So Hulk 181 has now shot passed GSX1 and X94... do you guys think this is permanent or will the trend be cyclical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
