Hello, I have a comic called Web of Scarlet Spider #3 and on the last page it has the first cameo appearance of Cyber Scarlet Spider. But I also have New Warriors #67, which is Cyber Scarlet Spider’s first FULL appearance. Would any of you peoples out there give me you opinion on which book you’d rather have. Not necessarily these specific books, but any books where you’d have to choose between 1st full appearance or 1st cameo appearance. Which one out of the two is technically more noteworthy?

@JosephSMASH almost always the first full appearances are worth more to the collectors in general. Only a few exclusions/exceptions.

Thank you sir. May I have another? Siggy private msg quote post Address this user
I feel the 1st appearance, even if it's a 1 panel cameo, is the more important book to the history of a character. That doesn't mean it should be worth more, necessarily, but for these types of situations I try not to think with my bank account.

Till the day I die I will believe Hulk 180, X-Men Annual 14, and Amazing Spider-Man 299 are the 1st Appearances of Wolverine, Gambit, and Venom, and I will never have a problem with Hulk 181, X-Men 267, or ASM 300 being more valuable.

Correct. I knew it was 26something, and didn't have access to my scans.

If you think about actually reading vs just owning comic books, the market from that perspective seems more rational and consistent. The book with the higher value is typically the one that more people feel compelled to read because of that new character. The one that is likely to get reprinted over and over again because of demand to read it, that's the one that has higher value. While Wolverine appears in the final page of Hulk 180, it's Hulk 181 that has been reprinted several times because it's more interesting to comic readers. I'm sure there is some exception to this that someone can point out.
