The fact the 9.6 Avengers 8 is going more then Hulk ย 181 by 12000 is interesting!So volume come into play plus 181 not a real first appearance!๐Ÿ˜

Both are books that are obviously in demand; Avengers 8 is particularly hot right now obviously. Anyway if you were in the market for a 9.6 of either right now, you will be buying from a pool of 344 total census books for Hulk 181, or a pool of 15 on the census for the Avengers 8. That's the "supply" side of the equation and is just as important as demand. When either supply (there are very few copies of a 9.6 available) or demand (FOMO leading to people seeking high grade Kang book because of the movies) is way out of whack, you'll see extremes (as you noted) that may defy the rest of the market. You're also comparing 172 sales to 5 sales, so I'm not sure you could get much valid data to use in a comparison anyway.

Plus comparing FMV's of one comic that has sold 3 copies in the last 90 days with one that is based on a couple copies sold in 9.4 almost a year ago.

Popularity has to be a factor to right?

Mybe Fantastic four 48 would have been a better comparison?
