I think so. That's his 1st appearance in the post above. Looks more like Paste Pot Pete than Darkseid.

interesting video from GoCollect..GSX1 and Hulk 181 are #1s on both lists.

Video is probably a shocker for all those answering Hulk 181 is just unstoppable...but the sales trends support that this may continue for a few years and prices may adjust down for the one book while moving upward for the other.

Probably hard to lose getting either book long term, but the short term still seems to favor giant size 1 for me

Not that hard. We've all seen that collector attention can shift over time. Unless a book is fairly rare, it only takes a small shift in attention for supply to overtake demand at a given price point.

I wouldnt suggest either book is rare, similar to New Mutants 98 , rather high census numbers and multiple copies preserved in higher grades. If there is a ray of hope in that video it might be that it never mentioned New Mutants 98 as one of the top five ….nor ASM 129, etc.

I dont have much interest in Moon Knight, Blade, or Dracula, but im surprised to see Swamp thing finally getting some love. Always been a favorite to me....and a book I had as a child and clearly remember the panel where he says....I said....STOP!

That's probably a good investment book. I assume supply is low because it would be owned mostly by collectors and not dealers. So if someone wants a copy, the seller can dictate the price.

Glad to see gsx going up. Looking for a copy myself. Do I think it will get to 181 level no. But still a great book

and today the New -New Mutants trailer drops, featuring in all her mutant glory....Illyana Rasputin, and her sword....Magik !
Giant size x men 1 is her first appearance, although she doesn't become Magik until new Mutants 14 I believe, but that sure wont hurt the value of Giant size 1....

as a side note now people can get back to hoarding those copies of the new Mutants Graphic novel, New mutants 14 and 18 and 1

So now...like hulk 181 which has wolverines first full appearance, after the cameo at the end of 180, we get another contorted first appearance scenario to work with....Illyanna first appeared in giant size x men 1, but does not become Magik until new mutants 14, with multiple appearances in between if memory serves

If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. xkonk private msg quote post Address this user
She has a few appearances in Uncanny between the two, and her own mini-series as well.

she also seems to appear in most of the new mutants books running up to Magik's first appearance in 14

In any event and as I had surmised, this new development sure as fire wont hurt price levels for Giant size 1

incidentally for those saying giant size "wont ever reach 181 price levels....in GPA right now if you were to research a Giant size 1 in 6.0 most recent sale is 1500....most recent sale for 181 in 6.0 is 1975 ....its already happening, that gap is stunningly close already

I was planning on upgrading my 181 and gsx. Might be a good time to upgrade my 181 since the prices seem stagnate.

As far as Magik, cgc has her first appearance in NM 14. First adult appearance was xmen 160. Not sure how her mini series plays into all of this.

You can bet given how she was done in that trailer within a few weeks everyone will be experts on how it all comes together ...HA
I have multiple copies of NM 14 already



As for 181 right, the after movie adjustment from the last several movies is likely giving the book some room to slide a bit and and the Giant size was already on the move once Disney acquired the x men rights.....the new Mutants movie will just give the book further traction....

the mini series gets her stranded in Limbo with an alternate team of x men, and seems to continue from x men 160

Sounds similar to Carol Danvers/Ms. Marvel or even Bill Foster/Black Goliath.

Meant to say higher grades. Still won’t pass 181

named as Peter Rasputins younger sister, but she isn't called by Illyana until issue 145 of x men...used as a supporting character for several years before becoming a full fledged character herself.

The lesson here is don't give up on any character that has ever appeared in a marvel comic book. They can all become heroes one day. The nurse, the military liason, the little sister, give em all some time to grow into their full potential.

this morning when Kap posted the trailer for new mutants MCS had 42 copies of new mutants 14 offered in various grades, now there are 19 copies left...


Tell me again how this characters first appearance even without her powers, costume and name wont affect the value of Giant size 1...

I don't see many buyers getting gsx for her. They get that book for the big 3.

I also believe that Magic sister won't move the the meter on GS X-men 1.

While we're on the subject, am I the only one who thinks that X-men 94 is an over-valued book? It seems to get some association value from all the attributes that actually belong to GSX 1.
