Hi all  I got a question for you. What in your opinion is more important to a character's first appearance? Their 1st Cameo or 1st Full Appearance? I've seen differing opinions. Sometimes the 1st Cameo is worth more than the 1st Full appearance and vice versa. Some Examples: 1st Wolverine Incredible Hulk #180 (1st Cameo) Vs Incredible Hulk #181 (Full) In this case 181 almost always sells for more. But on the flip side... 1st Black Bolt Fantastic Four #45 (1st Cameo) vs Fantastic Four #46 (Full) Fantastic Four #45 almost always sells for more. There are hundreds of more examples either way, Thoughts? Usually the 1st Full is worth more. But do you all agree that should be the case? Technically Cameo is the 1st appearance. |

| There's also Venom. First Full was Amaz. Spider-Man #300, but his first technical appearance was last page of Amaz. Spider-an #299 | ||

| "First full appearance" to me simply means "second appearance", or even later. But the market decides which is worth more, monetarily. To me, the real first appearance is what should matter, but that's just me talking about myself only. |

| I think it's more the cover than anything, especially in the case of Hulk 180/181. | ||

@DrWatson Ya but then why is Fantastic Four 46 worth less? The cover is awesome. 45's cover is boring in my opinion.  |

| @KingNampa I prefer 45 to 46. I have always hated floating head covers. | ||

@DrWatson Ahh so Cameo or Full doesn't really matter, its how cool the cover is. I think I'm getting it now.  Hulk #181 does have the better looking cover. |

| It matters to some people. Once a first appearance is established, it's difficult to break from what's established. | ||

| Cover makes a big difference to me. If a person appears in a single frame or two but isnt on the cover, but then has a book featuring them fully cover and all, I want the latter book for my "first appearance" collection. | ||

| Warlock was probably the hardest to figger out first app. They settled on Thor 165 but it could have been any number of others. | ||

| @Kav Ahh I see its Thor 165 vs Marvel Premier #1? That's a tough one. In Thor 165 they never refer to him as Adam Warlock. Its like 3 years later they come up with the actual Adam Warlock name for Marvel Premier. I'd argue that it should be Marvel Premier. |
