I have been following more than just comics collectables market over the past few years and one thing I notice is the Marvel silver age keys are not only hot in the comic book field but are some of the hottest collectables in any field! They have quite a following,those silver age Marvel keys have probably outperformed the stock market in the last 10 to 20 years and with Disney in control now I expect the Marvel silver age keys to continue to be a sound investment. Just an opinion so my question Gator to you is what will be the better investment over the next 5 to 10 years? the Marvel Silver age keys or golden age Superman/Batman comics?(leaving Action 1/Superman 1/Detective 27/Batman 1 out of the equation of course) marvel SA keys are very liquid, no doubt...my opinion is that due to the seemingly readily available supply, there would have to be a larger demand increase in order to create a larger price increase (investment potential)... compare that to an action 1, etc, where supply is almost non existant and you only really need a single person to increase demand to increase price...so, the mega GA keys are a better investment to me, in terms of return, but also come with more risk due to the much higher initial price point SA keys above 9.2 are always in high demand. Somehow my question has morphed into whether SA is hot and you can make money off of it. Outside of the prospect of a SA key possibly making you money, how excited can a typical dealer be about possessing one? What is your emotion when offered a #1 of any of the mainstream marvels, as opposed to your reaction if offered a Suspense 3, pre-Robin Tec, or even a Startling 49? Dealer's don't normally get excited like the mainstream buyer.

SA keys in .5 and up are always in demand. I can't tell you how many dozens and dozens of each of them I've sold over the years. Demand never seems to slow down. I see many twenty-something collectors snagging them too, so the future still looks very bright. Mega GA keys are not as good an investment in my view. That's where I disagree with the Gator. His perspective may be skewed though as he has always had the capital to lay out to test the market. I just don't think there are enough players in the five figure and up market to sustain it, and he is rightly indicates supply is also a problem for these items. More big GA keys have done down in value than up over the past twenty years. Take the primo ones mentioned above out of the equation and you'll see what I mean. I agree, other than early superman action covers, superman 1, pre robin tecs, batman 1 and maybe a few superman war covers, you don't have much left that is going to be in great demand. The only GA run that is very popular and probably always will be is Captain America. On the other hand there is a lot more interest and upside to SA Marvel keys and even villian keys. The Joker is probably the only sought after GA villian.

Yes, definitely. I think it's affecting SC23 and 24 also. Anyway high grade 10cts DC are so rare, they MUST be valuable. It's crazy to see AF15 so expensive when you see the number of copy going around DC rules I disagree because there are 40x as many AF 15 buyers than SC 22.
