What is your goal or purpose for the long term data analysis?

I'm very interested in these two books, but I'd like to have a better understanding of how they have priced over the decades. How much variation has happened decade to decade. It comes down to trying to decide whether or not to buy at current prices or hope for a correction. I'd love to see how the prices changed or not after 1975, 1987, 1995, and 2000 to see if there is possible link to stock market valuations. I'm also curious to see if there is a significant difference in appreciation percentages based on grade. From my very basic research so far it seems big name books can actually have bigger percentage appreciation in lower grades, higher dollar appreciation in upper grades, but lower percentages. Also, just curious because I love to analyze stuff

It is largely true most DC keys are a buy in price as compared to their marvel counterparts, but there are quite a few marvel keys that still have ALOT of room to move upwards and will do just that.
Consider Incredible Hulk 271 and its pre cursor Marvel preview 7...the original first appearances of Rocket, the beloved "rabbit" as Thor called him, from Guardians of the Galaxy. We know Gunn is now filming volume 3 of that title and it will hit the big screen perhaps 2023 0r 2024 latest. As anticpation builds for this new chapter, so will prices for the two intros of this character, once more. The census tells us there are 694 copies on hand of the original intro in Marvel Preview 7....and 3500 or so copies of the other book. So that suggests of the original magazine intro, published almost 50 years ago there are less than 700 total copies and since CBCS does not encapsulate magazine formats, the CGC census is for now the closest we have to an accurate count.That is an amazingly low introduction for a key character in an upcoming movie....as for the Hulk introduction into regular size comic formats, it was an assistant editors month issue that caught most collectors sleeping, and has a white cover that makes finding higher grade copies especially fun, however of the 3500 copies on census, the majority are sitting above 9.0 which is a solid indicator that people arent submitting the book as much as they will once prices go higher in lower grades.
If you caught anything Marvel is putting out in regards to their new projects, you doubtless saw that Ruffalo/Hulk appears in the trailer for the upcoming She Hulk series...we KNOW that he is slated to become Banner again, in order to help her with her medical issue. Marvel seems to be moving the character back towards it roots, leaving open the likelihood of a new movie featuring the Jade giant. In a previous thread I demonstrated his introduction in Hulk 1 is ridiculously short in numbers at around 1800 copies. Anything featuring the character, or a stand alone movie will send this one spiraling .
If you saw Shang Chi you had to make note that for whatever reason Marvel dusted off the character Abomination and used him for this one. Why? I can tell you that the character also plays a role in the upcoming She hulk series....First appearance, Tales to Astonish 90 ....a book with less than 500 copies in census, and one third are over 9.0 suggesting another key book that has not hit a high enough plateau to draw alot of slabbing below the 9.0 level.
Another marvel key with plenty of room to move, a known use in upcoming Marvel events and the liklihood of a decent surge higher quickly.
Those are just a few Marvel books with bright futures that will continue moving higher and faster for a number of solid reasons.
I can agree that many Marvel books have moved out of reach or high enough they are difficult to plot a course for, however there are gems to be gathered from the beach still
