I sold off a couple at current prices to move some books but somehow I knew that book had legs. Now I have to scrounge around and find the other few copies.

I can't recall for certain, and I no longer have MSA #1, but I think her costumed code name in that one might also have been something other than Mockingbird? She's a female Hank Pym, what with all the changes. she went by "the huntress" for a bit. I am guessing they changed her because DC's Huntress became more popular, even though introduced later (not to be confused with the GA Huntress). granted, DC had a mockingbird too, but it was a totally different thing... with that said, why is amanda waller's 1st app worthless? i know they printed a lot of them, but she is a huge character in DC. then again, so are SHIELD Agents' Hill and Coulson...bias against non super heroes!

Thank you! I read that MSA, sold it, and completely forgot the name. And yes Waller seems cheap given her importance. She has kind of become their Nick Fury.

And if Ka-Zar had not appeared in Marvel Comics #1 would he have had so many chances??? Is there a golden age also-ran with more lives??? Maybe that’s it....they could just use magic or gamma rays to merge him with Zabu and make him some kind of saber tooth tiger were-man. Lords knows they’ve tried everything else!

Lords knows they’ve tried everything else! it is a different kazar, apparently. zabu is mutated apparently, by radiation, and has human intelligence or something. bobbi morse is his love interest for like a year in astonishing tales and shows up on 2 covers (one you can't even see her face). weird.

drotto Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) All of this amazes me. I got back into comic collecting about 10 years ago, but was being pushed in the direction of original art by several friends. After about 5 years, I realized to buy the art I like and would also be financially sound purchases was too rich for my blood, so I switched focus back to collecting comics, mainly SA and BA Marvel. I managed to get many good books in the subsequent 5 years. Now, I think the market for true keys is again too rich for my blood, and feel lucky to have picked up the books I have.

It depends on how lucky were were fishing moderns and coppers out of dollar boxes. seriously, for $10-15 in dollar box adventures you could have about $1000-1200 worth of recently hot captain america/falcon related books. the other day I converted $6 worth of dollar box books into an $1100 sale. (ok, some of them were not bona fide dollar box books when I bought them, they might have been worth $10-$20, I got lucky, but still) right now I could probaby convert a long box of hot moderns and coppers into a few legit BA keys, a;; bought for $1-3 each.. but not in high grade. the legit early SA keys, not so much. secondary stuff, sure, like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/tales-of-suspense-57-CGC-3-5-First-Hawkeye/284212538358?hash=item422c632bf6:g:SIQAAOSw~UJgRqrj I sold a copy of that book in a bit worse shape (probably a 3.0) for under $10 in 2002 or so. ouch.
