Price on Iron man's comics

[osborn_fr]

Have you noticed an increase of the price achieved on Iron man #1 ?

I think so... Is it the coming movie impact ?

It's time to sell the so common Iron man #1...

[Room 237]

Yup, I'm a MASSIVE Iron Man fan, and #1 has rissen steadily over the last 2 years... might be a bot early for ovie impact on value, but I think its a good time to sell

Why is the first issue of this particular book so common in high grade? I realize it came out later in the 60's than did some of the other popular titles, but it also has a dark cover which seems like that would hurt it's chances for a high grade.

Warehouse find.... (along with Cap 100 and those other books that were launched in 1968...)

Ahhh.......makes sense. I remember seeing a nm copy as a kid for $15 and I didn't buy it.......D'oh.

 

Oh well.......at least it didn't turn out to be a $5,000 book now, so I don't feel too bad.

[Room 237]

same here, about 8 - 10 years ago, I could have had a NM #1 Iron man for $30

 

how the times have changed....

Yeah Bug, but one day it will be a $5000.00 comic.

 

Ok, ok .... let's not get into another one of those $19,000.00 Incredible Hulk 181 in 20 years prediction discussions, 'cause that would be

Even 8-10 years an Iron Man #1 in NM was still a $300-$350 book. It always (at least from '91 on) seemed to just stay at that price and only just within the recent years started moving up. It was very overpriced at $300 ten years ago so at $575 in NM it still isn't a great deal. Iron Man#1's abliity to hold these price levels has nothing to do with it's scarcity. For Iron Man#1 it's all about demand (people just go nuts for old shell head).

I love that #1 regardless of the quantites available. ad an easy 9.6 in my collection years ago. What made me love it? Gene Colan!

Hey Supa! Don;t be TOO surprised. I've seen at least THREE of those!

Regardless of how common they are, Iron Man #1, like Cap 100, will continue to hold a decent price. They're both great books, with great covers, and kick off 2 very long running series. Just make sure not to over-pay as there will inevitably be another one around the corner. There are a lot of super high grades, but a disgusting amount of VF's, and god knows how many low grades out there, and they ALL pretty much sell well.
