Uncanny X-Men Price Issues

spruce213 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:30:08 GMT

I noticed this price oddity with the Uncanny X-Men books.

Issue 220 and those similar to it are priced at 8.00 just like issue 185 and those similar to it.... BUT issue 185 at 8.0 is 4.00 while 220 at 8.0 is 6.40. How is this? Is this fixable?

I Found These

spruce213 — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:42:16 GMT

I'll start with this one and as I go along I'll put more up...

Incredible Hulk... 389 NM 9.4 is listed at 3.00, but several issues before and after are all 4.00? Is there something wrong here?

Heavily in need of Price Fixing...

Here are a few final EBay sales for the Avengers that I wrote down. Couldn't spend too much time on this because of work. Here in California and obviously on the EBay network Avengers early issues are going for above guide because of the buzz stemming from the upcoming movie as well as these issues being bonafide collectibles.

Takes this and do with it as you wish.

Avengers Annual 10 9.2 42.49 Nov 18 170396608491

Avengers 83 9.0 60.00 Nov 17 230356393817

Avengers 87 9.0 65.00 Nov 17 230356393909

Avengers 71 9.2 90.00 Nov 17 200407094765

Avengers 16 9.2 308.00 Nov 15 150386921863

Avengers 17 9.2 78.00 nov 15 150387292628

And these are not even for NM copies.

Also here's a link to the final sales for Avngers 21 in various conditions.

Also on the Fantastic Four i've noticed some odd pricing. Issue 261 to 245 is listed at 4.40 NM. How does one get to 4.40? I doubt enough books were sold at 4.40 in 9.4 condition to warrant this.

Here's the link for all final silver age sales on EBay for the Avengers.

Please do not take this harshly or in any other wrong way. like someone said, "There are a lot of titles and only a few volunteers." I'm a die hard Marvel Comics enthusiast and i'm doing this to make this GUIDE the best GUIDE available. I am volunteering my services to help keep up the Marvel Comics section of the guide. If the guide is really short on help... then here I am.

Hey Earl

spruce213 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:27:26 GMT

I know you hate getting these posts but I was wondering about the prices in Avengers vol.1. I feel they are in need of a serious update. I mean, it's like you didn't really feel like pricing them so you just put Avengers 31 - 90 at 60.00 except for key issues.

I don't understand because I know the earlier Avengers MUST be more sought after than the Avengers in the later digits. I can't think of anytime I heard of an early Avengers at around upper VF or NM going for these prices.

Am I wrong?

Tomb of Dracula Values.

kevingenewhite — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 04:27:44 GMT

I was wondering if the prices on The Marvel series Tomb of Dracula were current? The current Overstreet #39 has prices way higher than on the CPG site. Have these values been updated? Also-- Werewolf by Night? Prices way lower that Oversteet.

Comic watch lists

rayne5446 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:29:42 GMT

Hey all,

What resources do you use to track 'hot' comics, whether they are new releases or back issues? I saw the Comic Watch List on the front page and a few random forum posts that were helpful.

I'd like to thin out my old collection from the 80s/90s over time, but with thousands of back issues, it's difficult to find which books are sought after when I haven't collected comics for ten years (although I have been picking up the Walking Dead TPBs, great stuff!).

Back in the day, Wizard had a top ten list every month and the price guide would show books that were heating up or cooling down. From what I remember, these prices weren't that accurate, but it at least provided a quick and dirty way to figure out what was popular at the moment.

Thanks!

Giant-sized 30th Anniversary Spider-Man & Clonage Alpha

Siggy_Awwsum — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:54:29 GMT

Recently My Husband Handed Me Two Large Boxes Of Comic Books That He Has Kept Over The Years And Told Me To Look At Prices And To Sell Them. Looking Through The Guide I Couldnt Find The Price Of The Giant-Sized 30th Anniversary Special Spider-Man. I know Nothing About Comic Books, Just Wonder The Price Of This Comic.

ALSO

I came Across a Spider-Man Maximum Clonage Alpha. I Looked On The Site, Along With Others To Tell The Difference in The "Gold Edition" And dont know I Have Yet To Figure It Out!!

The Cover Is Smooth, But Colorful. When In The Light It Is Shinny.

Any Help With These Two Comics Would Be Greatly Appreciated!

Autographs/Signatures on comics!

Set 0ne — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 02:04:51 GMT

[b]Signatures on Comic books- Good or Bad?[/b]

People tend to think having a signature on a comic is going to raise it’s value..Is this right or wrong?

Many people debate this issue on comic forums daily so here is a small guide to help make up your mind before you get an artist to sign your comic.

Ask yourself some simple questions beforehand:
1. Why are you getting the comic book signed?
2. Is the comic going to be just for your personal collection?
3. Should the comic be signed on the cover OR inside of the cover?

If your getting your comic signed for personal reasons then by all means get it done when you have the chance. The comic itself will hold more personal value to you even if it’s not worth much money wise. Some people get their comics signed on the inside of the comic book (first page) to not reck the front cover appearance. But again if you have no intentions of selling it get the signature where you want but if you plan to possibly resell in the future think about where the signature is going to be put.

In general people are only going to pay for a signature on a comic book if it’s a key book or they really want to own the book. As Joker states on the CPG forum- [i]“The only time signatures truly increase the value of the book is when it is a key book, signed by a key person in the creative process and CGC Signature Series encapsulation.”[/i]

Comics that are signed by well known artists and are dead could possibly raise the price of the comic but again you’ve gotta consider the condition of the book too.

Overall signatures on comics comes down to personal opinion!

Captain America Vol 5 updated Values

kevingenewhite — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:41:40 GMT

Gentlemen,

I believe that this series is in dire need of an update on values. Issue #14 is going through the roof!!! Could you check the values on the whole Winter Soldier storyline?

Thanks,

Kevin

What a SURPRISE...

PJM — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:06:12 GMT

to get to my point - I was suprised to find out my GI JOE (1982 series) has the first printing of the 2nd issue...and from what I can gather from different sources it could be worth a nice bit of change...

Also in my pile is #4 hot wheels from 1970 and the monkees #1 from the late 60's...from the internet these 3 seem to be my prized comics...

Next step - send them down to CGC for grading...I'm thinking 9 or above...they have been well kept for 28 years - in comic bags w/ cardboard - near mint - only read once or twice and put away...

does anyone have any thoughts on value as a pre-lim...? thanks

New to this forum and likin' it.

cheers

Phil

Dreamwalker # 0

Imatrukker2 — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:13:59 GMT

With 6 days to go...Already up to $46.00...Methinks it is due a revaluation in the DB....The Avatar Illustrated pre-dates this book but was shipped later than this one was...This one made it to market FIRST...Per Barry Gregory on Comic Geek Speak comic forum... http://www.thecomicforums.com/forum2//index.php?showtopic=157897

"Let me try to add some clarity to this if I can ... since I was the editor of both titles at the time. Yes, the very first printed appearance of the Goon was in a 1 page backup story in DreamWalker #0 by Jenni Gregory. I know because I'm the one who put it there. The same 1 page story ran in Avatar Illustrated but DreamWalker #0 was out first. Avatar Illustrated did have an earlier release date than DreamWalker #0, but it was late shipping and DreamWalker #0 actually came out before it.

DreamWalker #0 had only a 3,000 copy print run. Jenni and I each have a couple of personal copies, but the rest of the run sold out years and years ago. Finding one would be, I think, a major achievement.

The copy of DreamWalker #0 that is available at IndyPlanet.com is a digital reprint and NOT a first printing. It does NOT contain the 1 page Goon story -- though it IS an absolutely terrific comic."

Walking Dead Value Changes

kevingenewhite — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 15:18:29 GMT

Gentlemen,
My wife recently purchased a stellar issue of Walking Dead #1 for my birthday, and I was amazed by how much she paid for it on Ebay. Wizard has it for $150, Overtreet has it for $40 and CPG has it for $80. I was just curious if the price needed to be adjusted for the recent demand on the market.
Thanks,
Kevin

Miracleman?

pmadreenter — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:04:11 GMT

I notice that the later issues of Miracleman are valued higher than the earlier issues. Seems like a bizarre anomaly, makes me wonder what the reason for that is. Anybody want to splain to the noob?

Capt. Atom & Blue Beetle Charlton: Need pricing help

I'm going to try to sell my Charlton [b]Captain Atom's[/b] and [b]Blue Beetle's[/b] but I don't know what to sell them for and where? :)

Have tried [b]eBay[/b] (not one bid), have tried [b]comicbookclassifeds.com[/b] (barely an itch) and listed a few yahoo groups (nothing), so where is one to go then? CBC.com you get responses with cutting your prices, paying by the pound or wanted FREE shipping. Maybe its the marketplace right now. :(

Here are my books:

Space Adventures: v3#40 '61 (F+)
Strange Suspense: v1#75(F-F+), 77(VG+-F), 81(F+), 82-83(VG-VG+), 84(F-F+), 85(VG-VG+), 87(VF- - VF), 88(F-F+), 89(G-G+, title ripped off)

Confused About Pricing

Rev.SpongeBobSP — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 11:46:03 GMT

I have several comics that I am checking value on, but the covers do not match what are posted. For instance, I have a Marvel Collectors Item - Issue #1 Spider-Man The Legend of The Arachnknight. The cover is similar to what is shown in the price guide, but the guide states it as hard cover (mine is not) and it shows a white background while mine is black. Also where the date is, mine simply has 1 AUG, nothing else in that box. Same with my Spider-Man 2099 Double Size Edition.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Top Ten Hottest Back Issues

spruce213 — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:55:07 GMT

I noticed the Top Ten Hottest Back Issues on the main page hasn't changed in awhile so what do you guys think may be the Top Ten Hottest Back issues.

I'm excluding Golden Age and Silver Age for mine because I do not follow nor collect books prior to 1965.... too expensive.

1 - New Mutants #98 1st Deadpool; The merc with the mouth that just won't shut up just won't let up... in being a hot book that is.

2 - Walking Dead #1 (1st Print) Still a hot ticket even with the trade paperbacks out there. Will these Zombies never die?

3 - Chew #1 (Hot, hot, hot) People want this book. I still want this book!

4 - Green Lantern 36; The Blackest Night is still the biggest rage whether it be the brightest day or the blackest night.

5 - GI Joe #1 (Marvel) GI Joe books are in high demand right now thanks to the upcoming movie. Go Joe!

6 - Amazing Spider-Man #600 (Queseda variant cover) Spidey's big 600 has hopefully brought people back to his book. So far so good.

7 - Iron Man #128 (Vol.1) I don't know why but this book never goes for under guide; any guide. With it's classic cover and storyline as well as being rumored as being the plot of the third Iron Man movie, Tony Stark and his alcohol issues are set to sky rocket.

8 - Dark Avengers #1; I haven't read it but, people seem to love it.

9 - Amazing Spider-Man 300; 102 sold on eBay this month; $100 - 150.00 seems to be the norm for the Venom 1st appearance in Mint form.

10 - Green Lantern 37 (variant issue) People want it more than they do a job it seems.

Finding Values of Marvel 'King-Size Specials'

musimac — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:41:24 GMT

I have several Marvel 'King-Size Specials' that I'm having trouble locating in the CPG. For instance, I have a Tower of Shadows King-Size Special #1. When I look in the Marvel listings in CPG, I see the normal issues and the Annual...but no King-Size Special. And, the same on other titles, too. I'm sure it's easy, and I'm doing something obviously wrong, but if anyone could steer me straight in this matter, I would appreciate it. Thanks, HH

Signed Comics

SUPERMAN AND SPIDER-MAN

VenomZeus — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:11:01 GMT

Why is this thing so cheap in value? When I bought it about 10 years ago at the comic store for about $20-30 I thought I was getting a great deal. The comic looks really special and cool.

Other than that comic store, I have never seen it anywhere sold in Montreal, even in conventions here and ones in Toronto... So I thought it was a pretty rare item.

With the low price in value, does that mean they printed tons?

Wizard Price Guide

spruce213 — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:41:30 GMT

One thing i've noticed between this site and the Wizard site is that the people on here are so courteous and helpful.... heck, Earl even discusses prices with you and takes into consideration your advice.

Sometimes I frequent the Wizard board where actual staffers frequent and they're very rude and protective of their work.

If you offer constructive criticism they scream at you (through typed words) and pretend that there is nothing wrong with their magazine.

Where are the best places to get comic book price values?

Donny V — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:05:19 GMT

Obviously I know CPG is a good place and eBay. But what other sites do you guys use
to figure out what a book is worth? I have the Overstreet guide but it feels dated whenever
I compare the prices to eBay or CPG. I'v been collecting heavily in older books (between late 60 and early80s) for the past 5yrs now and really want to start finding out how much the collection is worth.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Fantastic Four odd prices

spruce213 — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:36:16 GMT

Going through the FF listing I noticed some odd pricing. Issues like 277 NM are priced (9.4) at 4.40. Where did you get an unusual number like this? Why not 5.00 or 4.50 or 4.00?

Just wondering.

Price Guide

1Tryder — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 01:28:16 GMT

Sup everyone!
I'm new to the site, obviously! And I hear everyone talking about how CPG has a good price guide and all. I've been looking over and over on the site to find this guide, but can't seem to find it. Can someone help me out with this?

Thanx!

Chew

dhurley40 — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 07:27:32 GMT

I am new to the comic industry and dont fully understand why Chew by Image comics has had the price go up so much in the last 8 weeks. Makes me wish I bought about 5 copies when #1 came out. And next week Image is coming out with the 4th print for #1. Is the price way up due to not alot of copies being made?

First appearances

spruce213 — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 23:40:52 GMT

I notices a few first appearances of some characters in comics get lumped in (price wise) with common comics.

Example: First appearance of Moonstone in Incredible Hulk 228 is priced the same as the issues before and after that issue even though comic store owners and eBayers sell that issue as a higher price.

Anyone?

cpg vs. overstreet

XcasperX — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 23:42:29 GMT

Who more accurate on pricing?

I think OS is.

DOn't give me wrong I love CPG for cataloging my collection.

What do you guys think?

Overstreet Price Guide

ohs69grad — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 19:21:31 GMT

I need to purchase the Overstreet Price Guide. Would I be better off waiting for the publication of the new edition or pick up a copy of the current edition now? Thanks.

Modern comics on the rise?

spruce213 — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 00:34:22 GMT

I must admit that i've only been looking at this site for around two months, but I've notice that none of the modern books ever rise in price nor do half of them reflect the market.

Maybe i'm wrong, but New Mutants 98 is HOT and like the Walking Dead, Fables, and Y: the Last Man should have risen in value.

Other books, Valiant books which sell for high on eBay and through Craigslist should have risen too.

No one is perfect, I know, but I offer you my help in dealing with the price guide. I have time on my hands till October and I would research eBay for final sales and also call comic stores for what they perceive as hot books as well as books that are selling for above guide.

Just offering my help and opinion. That's all.

Captain America Demand

cgilmer — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 10:49:06 GMT

I have to say I know Captain America hasn't been in high demand in the past but of the last months, probably due to the "reborn" events and announcement of the movie, a big increase in the demand for any of the comics is taking place.

As an example:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=110410337473

This particular listing is well beyond what's listed on the site...

Being a fan and collector of his comics myself, it would be nice to see some of this demand reflected in the market listings. I only wish I could afford to spend the money for something like the quality of the item linked above...

CGC has created a value based on condition, NOT on historical significance!

Deathlok2001 — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 23:39:57 GMT

When books like Champions #1 9.6 goes for $125! Its $45 unslabbed in Overstreet. Mirconauts #1 9.8 goes for $65! Its a $3-5 book!

Those are two examples of the new market. A market where values are based on condition of the book, not on popularity or historical significance.

Why has the market gone to batty?

Amazing Spider-Man 229

spruce213 — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 04:50:25 GMT

Quick question. Went into two comic shops and they were charging $25.00 for Amazing Spider-man #229. on eBay they all want about $30.00. Am I missing something here? When did this book become a high demand book?

Amazing Spider-Man (1963-1998 1st Series) #229 VF- (My Comic Shop) Item number: 310156193972 $18.25

Amazing Spider-Man (1963-1998 1st Series) #229 NM (My Comic Shop) $54.00 Item number: 130319536758

Amazing Spider-Man #229 VF/NM 9.0 June 1982 $48.40 (Graham Cracker Comics) Item number: 270397591877

And there's like 6 other sellers charging alot. Am I missing something?

Ultimate X-Men #1 (Autographed Wolverine Sketch by Art Thibert)

Tritium — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 18:29:39 GMT

I was scrounging through my closest and came across the Ultimate X-Men Issue #1 with an autographed Wolverine on top and it got me wondering how much it was worth. I dont even remember where I got it from, its in German (I think lol) and its sealed.

I read the sticky about autographs / signatures but I still had to ask just cuz its drawing of wolverine and its in german, so try not to flame to bad :)

The scratch you see in the second pictures isnt on the actual comic, just on the plastic seal over it.

[img]http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp331/NYankeekid/IMG_0425.jpg[/img]

Anyone have any idea how much its worth?

Why are books like the Champions in 9.6+ go for $100+ = no historical significance??

Deathlok2001 — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 12:24:18 GMT

it makes no sense, regardless how perfect the condition the book is, for a title with no historical significance in comic history, to be valued beyond $10. The title was never popular, only two of the original 5 characters have current titles, there were no later versions of the Champions, and Don (what the) Heck isn't an artist that's highly sought after by collectors.

This is the best example of the flaw of slab pricing. While it has established a standard in grading books, the pricing going on EBay is so removed from the reality of historical pricing. If Champions #1 is worth $125, then perfect first issues of ROM or Micronauts or Shotgun Warriors should be too. Hell even the recent Supreme Power slabbed which you think is stupidly over-priced, is actually a bargain in the context of EBay bidding.

Can anyone explain this to me? Why are non histrocial bronze age books going for such crazy prices? They price should not be based on condition of book alone!
