that is HIGHLY debatable. is it his 3rd app? is it a second cameo?

Isn't GSX 1 before Hulk 182?

NO. GSX was about 6 months later

Right, I was thinking of X-Men 94 ... GSX1 was about the same time as X-Men 94, not Hulk 181. Thanks for the correction

If you think comic prices are crazy this is a whole different sport.


I've spent most of the morning sitting through a live magic apparatus/props auction. So far, I've won one item. I've put in bids totaling more than $4K on less than 17 lots. I'm not even in the ball park on many of the lots. I'm getting crushed on the items I'm trying to win. As I type this, I'm watching an item that was estimated to go for 900.00 sell for 2200.00. It is insane.

Most of the items are going for much more than the estimates. The hobby has exploded like comics and comic art.

Thanks Darkseid of town.
Found mine after your post, luckily had not sold it. Only a 6 or so, still $500 these crazy days. Had it listed as “Origin of Nick Fury’. Did not even know there was a first in there.

What’s up with Daeredevil #1? I’m seeing listings for 4.0 copies going for double what I paid about three months ago.
I know he’s supposed to be in the new Spider-Man flick in some form or another. Other than that haven’t heard a peep.

Right on, at least now if you let it go, you can do so knowingly and get paid a little better.

rumor is that all marvel NETFLIX characters/actors will be crossing over to Disney+ (only re-casting IRONFIST and LUKE CAGE). they will be starting over and ignoring anything that happened previously

Bawaha I love the covid prices.

Bigger the price jumps, the smaller the market of collectors who can afford to buy them.

The variety of comics means there will always be an entry point for new collectors.
I notice my drek on Ebay has never sold better.
When I start selling the good stuff, I am a bit nervous about shipping my newly minted thousand dollar books, but I will get by.
And if I wait a couple more months 2 thousand dollar books.
Gotta love bubbles.

@southerncross I'll take the smaller market at higher prices. But when we're talking about books below $1,000, I'm not sure that's really the case. Seems that market is bigger than ever.

With 70 plus years of comic book publishing.
I always find bargains of interest so personally I'm fine with the market atm.

Absolutely. It's really only gotten super-expensive when we're chasing the same things that the "market" is chasing. I find that the massive price increases actually makes me realize that some of my books are currently not as valuable to me as they are to the market. But I'm still able to find plenty of books that are more valuable to me than the market is pricing them at.

It makes my day to find out that the $8 copy of Strange Tales 159 I've been storing for 12 years without purpose in now selling for $400. I was never in love with it as an $8 book, and I'm fairly good about moving stuff like that before I have a chance to fall in love with it as a $400 book.

I've been keeping an eye on Hulk 181s since @Darkseid brought up the comparison to GSX1. A couple of 6.5s have cleared $7000 in the past week. 6.5! gocollect still thinks you should be able to get an 8.5 or maybe a 9 for that much money.

The 1st time we see those claws exposed in an MCU teaser/trailer I can't even imagine where the 181 will go.
That is still probably several years from now.

There’s also been some blogs written about how undervalued DD 1 is.

GoCollect recently had a blog on it and I think a couple of the more popular YouTube channels covered it, too.

We seem to be in the Jim Cramer era of comic collecting.

If you can yell, have some crazy sound effects and extensive knowledge of comics, there’s probably an appetite for a comic investing show...

This, exactly.

I’m dumping a lot of these flash in the pan books while the market is crazy for them.

It is likely that the 181 moving forward now will be the best investment of the two books, although the past year would have been rather obviously better to go the Giant size route. If we start getting x men rumors and casting announcemments, it will drive Giant size 1 for another year or two...if they utilize the main characters introduced in the book...Storm, Thunderbird, Colossus, and Nightcrawler. I honestly do not see them moving forward without some version of Storm and Nightcrawler....at bare minimium. Also giant size technically introduces Colossus' sister who becomes Magik, and they might well utilize that character as well....allowing that in the New Mutants, she pretty much stole the show.

Side Note: If they do follow the secret invasion storyline, and utilize Mystique, we may well get an intro for Nightcrawler, via that arc as well.
Will Deadpool 3 bring us more of Colosssus? Does that help the Giant size book any? Not really sure it has this far at least.

Alot will depend on when and how fast they capitalize on the wolverine character...

Once they do introduce wolverine alot will depend how it is done and who is chosen, what incarnation of the character etc. There is alot of room to really screw it up if they arent careful.
If they do things as they have in the past, with superb casting, a decent story arc, and some good supporting characters, the book will climb very well.

What alot of people arent really getting is that they might well choose to leave Logan dead...and utilize the female character in which case 181 becomes a great book that isnt supported by the Cinematic universe. That is another reason I am very leery of getting anywhere near Hulk 181.

If they wander into a scenario where you get wolverine and hulk squaring off in the Canadian wilderness with a surprise visit from Wendigo and they manage to fix the weak spots in the plot, and original storyline......and somehow Hulk is healed and returns to being a creature of rage and fury, then I would think 181 has a great chance. Sadly I dont see this happening for multiple obvious reasons.

I have paid fair market value as per Go Collect on an Iron Man 1 CGC 8.0 (off-white - white pages), Defenders 1 CGC 8.5 (white pages), Werewolf By Night 1 CGC 8.5 (white pages), Nick Fury Agent of Shield 1 CGC 8.5 (white pages) and just today a Captain Marvel 1 CGC 9.0 (white pages). Seems Go Collect is behind on the price jumps and I have been leveraging their FMV prices as a negotiating tool when buying my PC slabs.
