What non key Marvels go for the highest over book in VF/NM?

What non major key Marvels would you say go for the highest percentage over book in VF/NM?

[chrisco37]

I would say that ASM's are still the best for non-keys going over guide. Also, the mid-range FF's (Cosmic stories) are usually priced at guide or over.

 

I defy anyone to find an FF#60 in VF/NM or better (and not yellowed) for guide! And if you do, I'll pay you juice!

Non-key Journey Into Mysteries between 84 and 120 and non-key Fantastic Fours between 11 and 23.

30 and 35 cent variants. I'll pay anybody here 50 times Guide for a NM Kid Colt 209 30 cent variant.

[sfilosa]

JIM as a group far and away goes for the highest multiples of guide in CGC VF/NM or better.

 

X-Men far and away goes for the least multiple of guide (in many cases they actually go for below guide in VF/NM).

 

Amazing Spider-Man is actually the second lowest multiple of guide (of the Silver-Age Marvel titles) in VF/NM (probably because there a huge supply). In NM though, ASM goes for around 350% of guide which is in line for most of the other titles.

 

And yes, I do have Excel Spreadsheets to back up my information.

Journey Into Mystery definately, issues 84, 86 - 99.

[COI]

Journey Into Mystery #84, #85, and #89 are not considered keys?

[Kevin76]

Journey Into Mystery definately, issues 84 - 99.

 

What about JIM 114 in 9.0? That book and others (109) in 9.0 go for 4-500+ and they only guide for a 100.00 bucks or so.

sorry Andrew, I don't consider the 84 to be a key book,Just DAMN IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!

[COI]

You should have nabbed that 9.0 on PGCmint when you had the chance. Sure it was expensive, but try and find another. Even in VF, that book's impossible.

[Kevin76]

I know and i kept putting it off when it was around, i kick myself when I think about it.

84 definately not. 89 maybe, but only for the classic cover. I'll agree that 85 is a key, and will revise my previous post.

Sure, but the original poster was asking about non key books. JIM 109 & 114 are keys.

[Kevin76]

Since when is JIM 109 a key? Magneto apperance...big deal! That's not a key book,I can see the 114 being somewhat of a key cause it's the 1st absorbing man.but 109?...no

[Drummy]

I love the cover to 109 (and many others in the JIM run), but agree it is not a key book. The 84 is also not a key, but is freakin' scarce and the 2nd Thor is probably worth a little something to Thor/Kirby fans. I coddle my copy as if it's always near an open flame...

 

I also agree that early FF's do the trick (7, 8, 16, 17, 18 in particular?), as might a few tough early Marvels like Avengers #9, X-Men #11, Spider-Man #11, and Strange Tales #107. Some of these introduce minor characters but I'd have a hard time saying they were keys.

 

How about DC books?

Good luck. I've had a standing offer of 50X guide for a NM Weird Wonder Tales 15 for 5 years. My Kid Colt 209 30 cent variant is a CGC 8.0 and is the best one I've ever seen. Wait, let me amend that. Its the ONLY one I've ever seen.

IMHO non-key DCs: Bat 222? Beatles cover NM or 1st Ras Al Ghul would fetch over OS condition guide.

Good choices, though I think the first Ras (#232) might now be fairly valued in Overstreet. The other one mentioned frequently on these boards is #227, Adams' homage to Detective #31.

 

A couple of sleepers (and also classic Adams covers) might be Detective #411 (first Talia, not highlighted as such in the guide), and Batman #241, a book I had a really hard time finding recently in VF or better. (But #240 is everywhere, go figure.) Also check out the 52-page Giant issues of World's Finest (#204-212) for Adams covers, a good selection of reprints, and low prices.

It's certainly not a major key. Having said that I think there is an argument for it being a minor one.

It is not just a 'Magneto appearance', but the 1st appearance outside of the X-Men of a major Marvel villain. This means that many collectors want the book who would not normally be interested in Journey Into Mystery, hence a 'key-like' demand for the book..

It is similar in my view to other early X-Men crossovers by Angel and Iceman in TOS #49 & STT #120, both of these books are considered by most collectors to be minor keys.
