| All the slabbing today and careful storage generally + better production quality means the inherent collectible value of all but the most limited print runs will be… limited. In place of true scarcity we have this absurd sub-division of grades of books that have been produced in the past 10 years… that silliness is the exact same type of silliness as the early 90s baseball card and comic collector market. Go see what some 80s and 90s rookie cards returned over the past 25 years… negative returns. |

| Here is one I have coming. The rumor is the Black Knight will replace Captain America as the leader of the Avengers in the MCU. Total conjecture. I suspect the silver age Avengers 48 will wind up more valuable than this one long term should that happen, but who knows? I do see the character as speculation worthy.  |

| It might be just the current market, but the preserved supply doesn't seem to be effecting the values of 80's and 90's books like Spider-Man 300 and New Mutants 98. On the minor vs. major character comments, people tend to forget that Deadpool was a character that nobody cared about for years. When he came out the comic world was set ablaze by a character named the Punisher. Over time Deadpool's popularity went up and Frank's has waned. For that matter, the Image characters were certainly more popular than Deadpool or any other character the Big 2 produced at a given moment in time. I don't think that many people get ramped up about finding a raw WildCats #1 in 9.8 shape these days. Every market has changing tastes. @Sunvox We define long term differently. I'm looking at a 10+- year period until my son leaves the hobby. In looking at how you define it you may be 100% correct. @doog Won't the values be effect by which Black Knight takes over Cap's spot? In the copy you provided Sir Percy is the Black Knight. In Avengers 47, Dane Whitman is the Black Knight. |

| Deadpool was popular at release and, yes, it is just today’s market. Same market where books released in the past 24 months trade at big multiples of cover. |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia I don’t think you can go wrong with EC books, especially the horror and science fiction titles. I absolutely love that cover, and have bid on a few over the years (but sadly never won). I did win the book below in an auction a few years ago. It was raw and not high grade, which made it affordable! I do think higher grade copies will show better gains over time, but how can you go wrong with anything Frazetta?  |

@esaravo Those Frank Frazetta covers are indeed......... "Out of this world"  Those kind of books have broad appeal and may very well stand the test of time |

Not my copy, but how about this book for long term investment value? |

| As much as I like pre code horror, cool art, Marvel and DC 1st appearances of characters in movies is where I prefer to invest. I own a wide variety so I have a good chance of already owning the next character added to the movie lineup. I prefer heroes over villains but it appears Marvel can now recycle any character.

That is true, Towmater, but I had that Golden age one fall into my lap and I love Golden Age. I don’t expect it to keep up with Avengers 47 or 48, but I hope it gets some legs from the name association. I have a nice 48 too, they make kind of a cool set at least, especially if it is a main Avengers character going forward. It’s weird, my collecting has devolved into talking to some old timer or my brother who offers me a book, and one thing I have learned is the answer always is “hell yes” |
