Very nice but it is the contents of this book that makes it valuable and appealing. Should be framing a 49, one of the greatest covers of all time and truly significant being first full Galactus (one panel last page is considered cameo ala hulk 180) 2nd Surfer, First Cover for both mega characters which is a huge deal in this day and age. A true representation of the imposing Galactus, Surfer there front and center with his trademark board trail and the rarely seen on cover, a team of superheroes running in fear. 49 has so much going for it that it is incredibly undervalued at the moment. I predict we will see more growth with 49 than any other FF book has/will see in terms of percentage.

*This is also relavent to the Copper Age and in fact any age of comics. The question is.... Speculation. Are there any possible Mid-Major characters left to speculate on across the two ‘ages that havent already been speculated on? And i’m meaning books that can spike hard if the character becomes a main player across the various cinematic universes. The reason i ask is because due to my occupation i have alot of time on my hands to do research on various interests of mine and ultimately i have come to the conclusion that there is nothing left... All of the Hero candidates are pricey enough it’s high risk low return ie. Nova, Warlock, Silver Surfer, Beta Ray Bill There are villians that may spike a little but will not hold but already the more prominant villians that will end up in a movie are too pricey. ie. Dr Doom, Galactus, even Mephisto And the modern stuff is just rubbish for speculation. I mean c’mon The Batman Who Laughs, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Gwenpool... pffft just rubbish and these characters will be nothing more than a phase untill the next ridiculous lot of characters are created. They are solid flips right now but for long term they will be fodder. Basically, are there any character’s from any age that has low investment risk with high gains potential long term? No...

Yeah i agree but 49 has the potential to somewhat bridge the current gap in value on 48. The recipe is there for 49.

Hot books for obvious reasons. Which of the 3 is likely to gain the most in value over the next 5-10 years? Obviously 48 is a must have book but i think the real undervalued book of the 3 is the 49. First Full Galactus is more important going forward than a noted cameo. First Silver Surfer is hard to top but combine first full Galactus with Silver Surfer second appearance combined with first Silver Surfer/Galactus cover. A true recipe for success in years to come. Such a great imposing cover that gives the true impression of the mighty Galactus. Ultimately does the majority agree that 49 is undervalued? Could this book be as valuable if not more valuable than 48 in 5-10 years time and beyond?

Just love these covers. Not expensive books but are easily recognisable as Silver Age with the colours, art and layout. Nothing over done

Ok thankyou. Is it a scarce book? How can i find out how many there are roughly? and i dont have one to sell i want to buy one

ffs? 9.9 estimate value 10 estimate value Scarce?

Slabbed

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can give me some information and possible value on G.I. Joe #1 2009 Dell’Otto sketch retailer variant in 9.9-10. I can’t find much info on this book at all online. Maybe i’m just looking in the wrong places but is this a “rare” book? How many copies of this could there be? I did find one sale on ebay from a couple of months ago sold for $350 in a 9.8. I really love this wrap around cover i just like to do some research before a purchase but can’t find much. Thanks in advance.

whatever?

Hi all, can anyone please help me out with an estimated value on this book. High grade

I have read this in an article dated from back in 2013/2014. It was something to do with a facebook game revealing the character along with readers putting two and two together from NA 10 Infinity 4 plus the game. In NA 10 despite how it reads he is not the boy, he is "the healer" helping the boy. Marvel were asked if the unnamed "Thanos son" from NA 10 was Thane and they confirmed it is. I can't find the article again but i am looking! Also just received confirmation from CGC that any future graded/slabbed NA 10's will have Thane's first appearance on the label. NA 10 will be a valuable book if Thane manages to get a gig in the MCU in the future. I know most have had enough of this Thane topic so that's it from me, just wanted to let you all know that CGC will now be recognising as first appearance. Cheers.

It's black and white there are no real grey areas here. He clearly appears in NA 10 i agree its not much of an appearance but thats the way Marvel wanted it done. He is sought out, found in which the images clearly show then on the next page it is confirmed that it is Thane. Not sure how anyone could say it is NOT his first appearance. I found one cgc graded sale from back in 2014. There is no mention of Thane first appearance on the label. I have contacted cgc to give a reason why. If Marvel themselves say it is his first appearance in a comic book then it's hard to argue anything else

NA 10 is Thanes first appearance. marvel have said it themselves. infinity 4 is first named The argument is...does a character have to be named to be considered first appearance? I dont think so.

Hi ya'll, ive put together a nice little lot in preperation for the upcoming Deadpool 2/X Force/New Mutants movies. I'm wondering what i am likely to get for the lot at auction? and if i should offload it now or wait a while longer untill the actual movies are closer to release. The market is saturated at the moment so i'm thinking of holding off or even just hanging onto them for a long time. Any advice/opinions would be appreciated. Most copies are NM great condition covers a few are ow pages. The New Mutants 1, X Force 1 1st & 2nd print, X Force 2, The New Mutants 1st,2nd and 3rd print with the 1st print a very rare Australian $2 price Variant.

He appears as an unnamed doctor/healer. Just had a look at a cgc slab for infinity 4 and no mention of first appearance thane.

Why that? I don't know a whole lot about JLA

It could be. I have not seen much about it before but my mate has done alot of digging and thinks he has found a few things that points to Thane being in #4. I honestly don't know much about it. I have my own theories on the next gen of Marvel and it's no secret they want to expand into the cosmos. They will phase it the usual suspects in the next couple of movies and bring in new to LAM characters. Which characters they will be going forward is the million dollar question? From what limited knowledge i have on this, Thane could be part of a side story interwined with the main. They have set it up for him to be included and they are probably looking at introducing some "newer" modern characters with not so much exposed history. I see it as a way to spike the interest in the diehards and also gain potential new fans. If they phase in too many of the common major players from back in the day that are yet to appear in the MCU then they may please the diehards but theres a huge chance that they won't and it also could put them in a situation where they are forced to stick to storylines when they may want to put there own spin on things, which has the potential to disappoint.

Can this be confirmed? As in would it be labeled his first appearance on a slab? I have 4 high grade copies of NA 10 so i am hoping that Thane makes his appearance. One of my mates has put alot of time into speculating the upcoming Infinity movies and he is certain Thane will be a major player in the 4th Avengers movie and possibly beyond. He believes it's part of the reason they will not release the name. I'm a little scepticle on that though as it just has to be called Infinity Gauntlet? And Gamora's actor(cant remember her name) let it slip didn't she? I see there has been no CGC graded sales of NA 10 in the last couple of years if at all. Is there a reason for this?

A number of people were saying all sorts of things! Mainly negative in terms of doubting the grade. I am not doubting the grade but even if it doesnt come up i will not lose money on the purchase. I have scope to fall back on with this, if the comic in general was going to decline in value then i wouldnt buy it but like an optimistic member stated, if Miles appears in the MCU the value will spike and will be easy to offload in Aus. If you don't want to give any advice then off you go elsewhere. Someone more usefull than yourself will have a more positive outlook on the situation.

All valid input from experienced collectors. Thankyou I have purchased it. What is some advice from when i obtain the comic? I'm not super keen on handling it in terms of taking it out of bag but i will if i have to. If i can't spot any imperfections i'll get it graded and slabbed. It's a bit of a pain in the butt as i have to send it over from Aus but it could be worth it. I'll post up some some close ups of the entire when i get it. Overall i'm happy with the purchase at the price. If it doesnt grade as expected well hopefully theres an appearance from Miles in the MCU going forward so at least i can make a little bit of money on it.

I am not experienced with CGC grading. It was bought brand new, never removed from bag, not one fingerprint on the book, stored well. It's worth the risk for only $45 i guess.
