Help! Which of these 3 comics should I buy? 0

[F For Fake]

Of these three, I'd pick the SME 15, just because the character still seems to have great upside and room to grow. The first movie did surprisingly well coming out of the pandemic, so the follow up should do great. Iron Fist is damaged goods for the forseeable future, and Gambit, well, I have always hated Gambit.

But my best advice would be to save your money until you find something you desperately want. If all three of these are really speaking to you, and the money is burning a hole in your pocket, sure, get the SME 15. But if that's not the case, hold onto the cash until you see the thing that you instantly know is "the one".

I guess it depends on which charector will be more popular in the future? That being said I wouldn't dismiss x-men 266 out of hand. But mp15 is a very attractive book I may look to add that one myself.

$275 budget whatever grade that gets me from each. What would you get?  
 

1

Marvel Premiere #15.  
First Iron Fist

 

2 

Special Marvel Edition #15 

First Shang Chi

 

3

Uncanny X-Men 266

First Gambit 

 

 

Sticking to these choices, MP 15

You can get a nice 8.0 for about $350

I always had a hard time with 266 - the art inside is absolutely atrocious. The Kubert (I think) cover helps it be recognizable, but the inside stinks. Not sure if people care that much about it, but it always mattered to me.

It would be hard to pick between the bronzes, I like both books. Flip a coin, you probably can’t go wrong with either.

Did what any sane person would do and ignored everyone’s advice including my own and snagged a 9.6 Savage She Hulk #1. I have a low grade but wanted a higher one. This has not seen it’s sealing. I have a feeling she will be part of the next phase of Avengers.

I did the same when I traded my doubles for the walking dead #1,

Spoiler

well I called it consolidation turning three (cgc 7.0BA#12, &9.0 NM#98, & Malibu Sun #13 8.0) copper slabs into one hopeful addition. And I too told myself I'd not do it

,

but picked up the she hulk as well, it looked to have dropped from $399 in 9.6? So I've seen what it "can do" amidst hype, and I'm in for the long haul ......

There is so much that if able now would be the time to accumulate idk though

I even upgraded lower grade place holders with bin books I've found for cheap, trading in to the LCS, I still kind of over pay haha

I'm not proficient enough!

@Blastaar my point being everyone told me NO.

Many a edit but finally widdled it down to sense 😂

It's funny if think as $300 books to buy are my wheelhouse, that are bronze there are so few or many points of view: ms marvel #1 #16 &17. Shazam maybe #1&#25. Idk just spit balling ideas. Firestorm #1 &4, higher grade marvel preview #16 but I'd say the coin flip was the best spoken so far

 

Or going with your gut.

Ya you can get a 9.6 Shulk for around $250. Which is crazy when you think about the avengers and fantastic four coming out. She has to be getting looped in there at some point.

Amen idk if the $399 past was a bum rush or whatever, but it's bronze and probably not "as common" as ASM #300. Who's to say with popularity for future gens but idk.

There are a few I still have my eyes on, ASM in the 200's now that #210 is still somewhat sensible and being used in moderns as well I think idk.

Brainstorming

Less flip and more "smarter fomo?" Haha before it's all too late 😂

[Blastaar]

While I was shopping around I noticed MODOK first appearance was still in that $300 range. Good book to get if you don’t have it.
