overpriced firsr appearances

[THE_BEYONDER]

Seems like it's only Marvel issues mentioned to this point ...

 

Well, all the major DC first appearances were in the Golden Age, and it's pretty hard to say that Action Comics #1 is overpriced.

 

I don't know. I think it could be argued that 500K for a comic book is retarded.

Sure, but it's still Superman, and not Sabretooth.

Amazing Adventures 11

 

Number one, no question. Nothing else even comes close.

I care more about it being the 1st appearance of The Jackal than the Punisher...

How about the guide value of $6 for FF 211?

TOD#10, to me has always been overpriced. Blade just is not that exciting of a character in comics. In fact, prior to the movie, he was barely even known.

 

Overpriced? Obviously.

 

But with that said...I thought Blade was one of the best characters in the TOD series outside of the main character. And one of my favorite original characters to come out of the Bronze Age. I thought his origin was very cool as a kid...

aqbout 4 years ago IF wasn't over priced you could still get a 9.4 for under 150.00 now it is stupid.

Green Lantern (SA) 59 - Do we really care about Guy Gardner anymore?

Green Lantern (SA) 40 - First Crisis. Is it really that significant?

Green Lantern (SA) 116 - See comments for 59.

 

I agree with Iron Fist 14 being overpriced also.

Amazing Adventures 11

 

Man, how did I miss that one?

 

It's probably tied with Iron Fist 14 at the top of my list, and is easily the most over-rated "key" in the entire BA.

 

Overated some of the books mentioned may be, but overpriced? Prices are determined by market forces, and a lot of the books mentioned have a fairly consitent track record in the marketplace.

 

If you are really talking overpriced, look towards some of the manufactured collectables like variant covers and retailer incentive books.

Sure, and short-term movie speculation is a "market force" right? Just wait til that POS Ghost Rider movie comes out, then see if MS 5 sells for $4K+ again.

I agree that movie hype causes spikes, but a lot of people are arguing for books like WBN 32 which has had no movie hype behind it.

You really didn't know that the Blade TV series had been hyping Moon Knight, or that whitey got himself a whole new series.

 

Nah, no hype there.

Could not agree more.
