| TOS 40 (2nd Iron Man) 4.5 OW/W TOS 53 (2nd Black Widow) 8.0 OW/W FF 52 (1st Black Panther) 4.5 OW/W Alex Ross “Creature from the Black Lagoon” litho (limited to 100 printed) I can pull the trigger on one of these. Which would you grab? |

| TOS 53. 8 is a good grade. If I bought one of the others I’d have to upgrade later to a higher grade | ||

| FF 52 - more long term potential. 2nd appearance usually lag in price drastically. Lithographs are easily forgotten. |

| Take the best condition you can afford. Suspense 53 in this case. | ||

| i Feel like ff52 is due to drop a little in a year or so. I thought I’d heard black widow was getting a solo flick? My thought was that her 2nd may get a bump since her first app is kind of out of easy reach. I could be wrong | ||

| @Deesnutz She is. Bonus, an 8.0 #53 would go well with my 8.0 #52. |

| The Fox deal with Fantastic Four and Black Panther on screen together might make FF 52 a hot book in the future... Personally I'd go with TOS 40..it is probably in my opinion the most stable of the bunch long term. |

I don’t know anything about the litho. Maybe that’s the gem! I just wouldn’t do 52 right now, especially a 4. #40 at a four is probably pretty good. An 8 though, |

| I know this goes without saying. But I will say it anyway. Choose the one you would be most happy with. The one you will be proud to own. Let's do it this way: Pretend you already own all of those. And that financial times are hard. You have to sell one to get by. Eliminate that one from the list. Now go to the second one you would let go. And so on. Until you only have one left. The one you wanted to keep above all of the others. My guess is, it will be the 8.0 for you. For me, it would be a tough choice. But I would probably go with the TOS 53 also. The FF 52 is a five hundred dollar book I think. The TOS 53 is around $350 or so. I don't see a 4.5 growing a lot. But I can see an 8.0 silver age book growing in value quite well. And the origin of the Watcher is not something to sneeze at, when coupled with the 2nd Black Widow. |

| Good call, @conditionfreak. While I’ve been looking for a FF #52, I’m not a huge Black Panther fan. It’s more of the “that’s a nice 1st appearance to have” sort of thing. A book I’d have no real problem selling. At this point, I only want to settle for VG or less if it’s mega Key. TOS 40 is approaching that status, but I’d like a 6.0 minimum. The litho I’ve wanted for a long time. But proper professional framing with museum glass adds quite a bit to the cost. I have a raw (4.5?) TOS 53, but this world be a substantial upgrade. And at 8.0, a nice piece worthy of displaying. Thanks for helping me think this through everyone. |

| Buy the one that makes you the most happy. The one you will want to display and make a strong cocktail and look at. The one that brings you the most joy merely staring at it. To hell with getting a deal.....thats nonsense unless you are merely flipping it for money. FOLLOW THE EMO DUDE - its what comics were created for.... Good luck! |

| I got the 8.0 TOS 53. The others remain on my “want” list for future cons.  |

| That’s a nice book. I’d be proud to own it. The tos 40 was nice too, bud had some unrepairable issues. Awesome buy! | ||
