Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town This book has been really undervalued for quite some time. It's a great key to own because of it's affordability and how these characters are still being used in recent storylines. |

| Another choice for undervalued/undiscovered key is Shazam #27 - 1st appearance of Kid Eternity since the Golden Age. I think the price for this book will skyrocket if they ever put him in a Shazam movie. They retconned his origin so that he is Freddie's brother. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by 50AE_DE I love this hunch. Two of my favorite Silver Age comics! Especially that cover on #30. I've always been a fan of the Crime Syndicate. Couldn't believe it when they killed 'em all off in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Damn!  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town BTW - I am selling my copy of Lois Lane #70 and Lois Lane #71 (1st and 2nd appearance) in this week's July Prime Auction. What's great about this copy of #70 (CGC 6.5) is that there is a corner crunch and slight tear on the bottom corner, on the left side. That is the only reason for the mid-range grade ... the rest of the comic looks fantastic. And personally, I think #71 was robbed. Even Heritage Auction said it was a 6.5 when I bought it raw, and they are usually tight. Love those Kurt Schaffenberger covers!   |

What about Wildcat/Ted Grant? He has been on Smallville, Arrow, and now Stargirl (which also has his Goddaughter, the new Wildcat, Yolanda Montez). He has been in several of the cartoons, and he even trained Batman early on. Here's his first SA appearance: |

| Everyone can shun me as much as they want because I'm throwing out a modern but any cover of venom 3. It's been 2 years now and it's not gone anywhere. Immortal Hulk #2 hasn't either. I'll get an argument like give it 5 years, and you could be right, but if you are holding venoms, or Thor god of thunders watch em grow. | ||

@Tedsaid - Here's my copy of issue #61, but I have seen graded copies and they don't say first SA appearance of Black Canary on the label - they say origins of Starman and Black Canary, and first SA appearance of the Mist. If this isn't her first SA appearance, what is? |

| She is on the cover of JLA #21, and JLA #29. And she also has a cameo at the end of Flash #129 (the second crossover story with Jay Garrick) which came out before JLA #21. I found a discussion of it here. Quote: Originally Posted by esaravo |

Quote:Originally Posted by Tedsaid Ouch. That hurts. I had a handful of Venom 3s ... sold them all about six months ago for $120 each. Since I paid cover (plus slab fee, of course), I was pretty pleased with myself until I read this. I had no idea the first appearance of Knull held such drawing power. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CatCovers Ah, sorry. If it makes you feel any better, I've sold 15 since February of last year, all 9.8 slabs. I've been buying them all that time, too, so it was just a gradual thing ... I buy a few, slab them, sell them, buy some more a little higher, slab 'em, sell 'em a little higher, etc. I have three left that I just bought at the beginning of the year. But I just try to be happy that I kept making some money off it. Even though every one of those sales would be higher right now. (The lowest were $89 in Feb of last year, and $86 in Oct. $105 in Sept; $101 on April 1st; $110 on March 15. The highest were $130, $150, $170, and $180, all since April 29th.) But now the raws are bid up almost as high as I was previously selling slabs for. You can still make money, buying one for, say, $200 and selling it for $350, but it's riskier. I'm not sure I'm willing to pay that much, when the last raw I bought was only $80 (the most I've every paid). Anyway, it's not like you can know for sure when something will hit. For awhile there people were saying #4 was going to be better. Something about someone on the cover? Not sure. Someone had a crazy theory that Knull didn't even "appear" in issue #3 because he was "just an avatar." Even though he drove the narrative all the way through that issue. Just dumb stuff like that. But I've kind of stopped trying to guess where this crazy comic book market will go next. Now some 3rd and 4th print copies are going higher than the 1st prints! That's just nuts in my book. Well, it's nuts, but it's fun to watch, too, if you don't take it too seriously. |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbaySeller I guess hallways and a Josiah Bartlet were not in the budget.   But in all cases their last attempt ended in Legends of Tomorrow. It was good, but I feel that they could use the last crossover as a means to reboot their first Arrowverse incarnation. It's more logical than doing a film right now.In all cases I can only recommend The Sandman (volume 2) #1 more than Firestorm, The Nuclear Man #1. As we speak both Neil Gaiman and Netflix have announced a live-action adaptation of the series, with the first arc cover 11 episodes. And COVID-19 pushing the release date to 2021, getting that issue soon is a smart call. Because once they announce the cast... Pop goes the dynamite. |

| While this discussion was going on I couldn't find what I wanted in a Firestorm 9.6 (once the CBCS on ebay got snagged), so to console myself I started cleaning out the mid-grade books at MCS. Books they grade at 6.0-7.5 but probably are 7.5-8.5. Each day I would buy the 3 or 4 in inventory, but they would be replaced the next day. Average price about $19 per book, so no huge risk on any one book. Thing is, I've now got 11 copies in transit to my house...I hope you guys are right about this Firestorm thing,lol! | ||

| that was the unique thing about Justice League of America, that nearly all the early stories are reprinted in the run often several times. Justice league had some rather stunning covers in the first 100 or so issues in particular...I am very fond of issue 16,29 51 for obvious reasons,and issues 100 and 101....the story from issues 100 and 101 is one of my all time favorite comic stories as well. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town There is a copy of JLA #101 9.6 for a pretty good price right now at MCS ... $115. I saw it just a few days ago and remembered you liked it. I'm glad you posted this, which reminded me to let you know. Some of my favorite early covers are the #30 already mentioned, and also #12 (the first Dr. Light, with a very vivid yellow cover) and #18, which is very dramatic looking. I also really like #55 for some reason, but I think that's just because I once found a really high-grade copy in the wild a couple years ago. Came back a 9.0, with that really vivid dark blue cover. At the time of those early JLA issues, Superman and Batman were DC's two biggest sellers. And so they were hesitant to use them in the stories, and especially to put them on the covers. My understanding is, they didn't want to annoy the "big dogs" who had editorial control of the Batman titles and the Superman titles. So Batman and Superman were part of the Justice League, but didn't appear on a cover until issue #10 (sort of) and #19.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by obrie2tm Yep, exactly! That wasn't the daughter originally, in JLA #75. That was retconned by Roy Thomas and George Perez some years later, in JLA #220, in a somewhat goofy and convoluted way. But it helped explain why a World War II era hero was so much younger than everyone else from Earth 2. If you don't know, Roy Thomas was a LONG time fan of comic books, and he was given his first job at DC when he was 24. They had previously bought a story from him, so they hired him on as an assistant editor to work under Mort Weisinger, a notoriously difficult boss. He lasted eight days before accepting a job offer from Marvel, directly from Stan Lee himself. His new job as "staff writer" was announced in the "Bullpen Bulletins" section of Fantastic Four #47 ... "Roy's a fan who's made it!" He used to write in a lot, and a lot of his "letters to the editor" appear in various comics. Including in Justice League of America #1 and Green Lantern #1! |

| Hey, I thought I recognized that one! You bought that from me, from MCS last fall. Hahaha ... what a beautiful copy. I think that is one I bought when I was a teenager, working at my LCS. I got maybe eight or ten pretty nice early JLA comics at that time, from a collection that just came in. I bought as many as I could afford.  |
