Let's all play investment analyst

[RaccoonRaccoon]

Let's all play investment analyst just like you see on CNBC. You all know the drill, an analyst gets on tv to hawk their latest stock that will rise in value.

 

Well, lets do the same but only comic style!

 

If there is one comic book you can recommend, that you feel will rise in value, which would that be and why? The only rule is that the book must have a current value of $50 or LESS.

 

I'll even provide the appropriate disclosure:

All opinions provided in this thread are just that, opinions. These opinions should not be considered recommendations to buy as there is no guarantee in future price appreciation.

Okay, DOV: Infinite Crisis Special #1. Great artwork, great story. And I think, they are going to use the storyline to reboot Captain Marvel as well as launch the ongoing Shadowpact series. If either one of those takes, we are looking at a significant book.

I see that Warlord is coming back from DC so one to pick up for a quick return might be First Issue Special 8 and early Warlords, which are very cheap.

 

That's my quick pick, FIS 8.

DC #401- #425

[Timulty]

Refresh with the story arcs on those, please nikos.

Alot of nice Adams covers, and I really like Man-Bat, been slowly filling that run in 9.4 or better.

[Timulty]

Seems like I had a couple of that run at one point and sold them off in the early 90's. Yeah, I kinda miss those DC's.

The only rule is that the book must have a current value of $50 or LESS.

 

Overstreet value or market value?

 

Few issues in the Detective 401-425 run in true 9.4 would sell for $50 or less.

[the blob]

yeah, but raw? and i saw no 9.4+ qualifier either. 9.2s and 9.0s can be picked up easy enough for under 50.

[jimjum12]

That cover to #404 is AWESOME.The interior art is neat too.If I remember correctly,Kubert inks Adams for an unusual combination.There's a very sharp 9.6 on the latest comiclink focused auction,along with several others from the run that was spoken of.GOD BLESS...

I like the covers for 403 and 413 but that might be because they were in house ads at the time so have extra nostalgia.

[osborn_fr]

Where are the Marvel books ?

 

[nearmint]

yeah, but raw? and i saw no 9.4+ qualifier either. 9.2s and 9.0s can be picked up easy enough for under 50.

 

Yeah, for the purpose of this thread, raccoonraccoon should establish what grade we're talking about.

[OldGuy]

Buy gold.

[skybolt]

I'll go with ASM #194 (first Black Cat appearance). She's due to make an appearnace in a Spider-man movie. I think that book guides for about $40 in raw NM- condition.

[nik]

DD from #50 - #100 are always good buys ,

inexpensive, decent art and stories , but I figured you already knew that

[RaccoonRaccoon]

Ok to make it more detailed...

 

$$$ requirement is $50 raw or slabbed

Grade should be at least 8.0 (I feel this grade still has excellent eye appeal without too many glaring defects)

 

Without getting to precise, this thread is about a book that will rise in value, that even the average collector can afford. The spirit of this thread is not to recommend a somewhar hard to get golden age book in VG condition.

 

The thread is more about comics that the average collector can acquire without too mcuh effort. That's the whole reasoning behind the $50 or less limit. Heck the book could have come out last month as long as there is some rational reason to why you think this book will rise in value.

 

For example: I'm surprised that no one mentioned the Origin series.

[Sal]

any of the Cardy cover Aquamans from 37-56...iirc Guide Price in NM.

 

 

the covers are killer, you get zero mention of Aquababy - for the love of God, WHY - and did i mention that the covers were killer? at least a goodly number of them are.

 

 

plus, there's some sort of movie related buzz, but i don't see it

[SuperBird]

I'll go with any of the 2nd tier DC series #1's, be it Loveless, Jonah Hex, or Testament.

I heard the guy from Entourage was gonna play Aquaman and James Cameron was directing. Oh yeah, and Mandy Moore might be in it also.
