Heritage has a weird obsession with Captain Marvel Adventures 27 1 1

[William-James88]

I don't get it. Usually they stick to what guide says, which is also usually the same notes CGC puts on the label. But for Captain Marvel Adventures 27, they have been pushing a (wrong) first appearance for 16 years. I don't see why they would have a special agenda for this particular issue, but for some reason they keep pushing it hard. The deal here is all about Mr Mind, who's "first appearance" has been getting super hot ever since he was revealed in the end credits of the Captain Marvel film. They have been stating for a while that issue 27 is also a first appearance of the character since at least 2004, even though it is not and no such thing is written in overstreet or on CGC labels.

2004

27 (first full appearance of Mr. Mind)

2020

The first full appearance of the Mr. Mind, in panel and speaking. Previous appearances are either a disembodied voice, or one single tiny depiction/cameo in a single panel in what it now called his "first appearance".

 

That 2020 description is rather wordy to make the book more important than it is, and I just don't why they've been doing this weird song and dance about it for all these years. Clearly, judging from the prices obtained, it never resulted in anything. Just something I found odd and wanted to share.

I've noticed the exact same thing about Hulk 181!

Seems like someone likely made a mistake years ago and never fixed it 🤷‍♂️. I doubt it’s an “agenda” and likely more of a clerical error. But you’re definitely right, CMA 22 (1st cameo) and CMA 26 (1st full) are his true first appearances.

Yeah, it's not an agenda.  But it's still weird that they keep trying to make this issue more important than it is. Especially in their most recent auctions.
