Since the art of comic storytelling from the sixties and seventies relied so heavily on that closing panel cliffhanger to create a need to buy the next issue, its rather common out there.

I don't have deeply set feelings one way or another, but I do wish it was more consistently observed....i.e x men 266 is in no way Gambits first appearance, but look at what the book brings. I run into Newbs in the hobby who consider it a grail, unaware blissfully it is not his first.

Same thing for Ms. Marvel and the mess of Mystiques first full and cameo appearances.

Jimmy Olsen is a classic case of cameo confusion given 134..single panel....135 single panel..forever people 1 first full appearance, but then his 2nd full appearance is new gods 2.

There should be a thread for all the cameo/following issue full appearance occurrences!

Now you got it No need for dilemma or anything else- If value (including demand) were to somehow completely be removed from the hobby while the number of copies and owners remain the same, I doubt the 180/181 debate would be as it is.

I'm not saying EVERYONE is in it for the money, but if NO ONE were...

IMO

People -should- be in it for the art form - not money. There are more tried and true, and lucrative, ways of investing.

People should do comics for any reason they choose, the very nature of a free country. People shouldn't try to impose their own values on others...for any reason in a hobby.

After roughly 7 hours on lock down, let's try to play nice from here on out. Calling someone ignorant or lacking self-awareness isn't exactly civil discussion. Nor is it anything that merits warnings. But when a post gets reported and it looks like things could get out of hand, a cooling off period may be appropriate.

I apologize in advance and know this may not be nice, but I have 2 copies of #181.







I want to re-scan the one in better condition because the colors look wrong.
I'm not hung up on having super high grade, so both of these are completely adequate for me.

I think cameos should be 1st appearances. The entire full appearance thing makes no sense. As far as wolverine's appearances.

1st cameo 180
2nd full appearance 181
3rd cameo appearance 182
4th GSX 1

Pretty sure that is his first 4 comic appearances.

That's a whole other bag of cats!!! The most expensive appearance of Darkseid for instance is barely a cameo....at least wolvies cameo had hos full body!!!

You are correct in what you are saying but both grading houses, and even the Overstreet recognize Giant size x men 1 as his 2nd full appearance and I am going to go with the consensus of the market .

Yeah, 1 and 3 would be considered "cameo" appearances.

There is no debate or dispute as to which comic is Wolverines 1st appearance. It is universally understood that it is Hulk 180.

this is Wolverine in issue 180



But the market has decided that Hulk 181...(his 1st full appearance, 180 is considered a cameo) is the money book.

Hulk 182 is a cameo appearance and Giant Size X-men 1 is considered his 2nd full appearance.

Yeah, but #184 is the one that prints a letter suggesting that Marvel make him an X-Men character. Heh heh!

I'm working fully off of my memory and I haven't opened the comic in roughly 23 years, but to the best of my knowledge it's a definitive yes. I believe it's the issue where his shadow attacked him. A pre-hero era monster character tie-in.

Here's a really simple test: If you, as a reader of comics, became interested in Wolverine stories before they had gained value...which would you pull from the cheap comic bin? 180? of course not, you would pull 181.

Exactly correct. My point was that the ratio of available Jimmy Olsen 134 to Forever People 1 is probably very different than the ratio of Hulk 180 to Hulk 181 (which is most likely 1 to 1). I'm thinking this explains why a single panel appearance in Jimmy Olsen has a higher market value than the full first appearance in Forever People. At a local convention I might find 3-4 copies of JO 134 vs 30-40 copies of Forever People 1.



I am not so sure of those conclusions..the CGC census has 1371 Jimmy Olsen 134, vs 1420 copies of Forever people


The total graded is misleading because JO 134 has a much higher FMV and is more likely to be graded regardless of condition. Forever People is less likely to get graded in mid to lower grades, only worth about $70 in 5.0. A better measurement would be to compare the high-grade numbers (9.4-9.8). There you have 318 forever people to only 83 JO, about a 3.5 to 1 ratio. This ratio would make sense only if Forever People were the higher value book. When you factor in that Forever People 1 has only about 40% the FMV of JO 134, it's now reasonable to assume that Forever People 1 might be 5 to 7 times more common than JO 134. I guessed 10x earlier, but maybe 5x-7x is more accurate.

or the statistics could also be a relic of comparing a dark cover vs a white cover comic in high vs low grading which puts you firmly back at...less Jimmy Olsen's than Forever people 1

By your own admission if JO has a higher market value meaning more would be graded and yet there are still less known copies I would have to say...there ya go

Why cherry pick the stats to attempt a different outcome

Be careful with that Gocollect data, the prices listed aren't accurate. If you have a subscription and click the actual sales prices under each grade, often times you'll see several recent sales substantially lower than the listed price and you won't be able to find a single sale that matches the Gocollect estimated price.
