Mar Vell is now a minor character who will stay dead in the Marvel Universe, whereas Carol Danvers is about to become a flagship character of the MCU and adorn little girls’ lunchboxes and backpacks across the world. Well thank you for your speculation. But this thread is about books that are heating up. If you want to tout the greatness of MSH 13 more power to you but this isn't the speculation thread. All I said was MSH 12 is heating up and hitting new highs but its still much cheaper than 13. I didn't say it should be worth more or even the same RockMyAmadeus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say it should be worth more or even the same Ah, ok. I was just responding to your phrase "closing the gap." From observing the market, the gap is widening. While MSH 12 has seen an uptick in value of a few hundred dollars for high grade copies, MSH 13 has seen an uptick of thousands of dollars for high grade copies. But yeah, I'd agree that MSH 12, being the first appearance of Mar-Vell and the Captain Marvel storyline, which I think will be heavily adapted in the upcoming movie (Jude Law's credits are "Mar-Vell / Dr. Walter Lawson), is heating up and will get hotter once the Captain Marvel trailer drops...next month?

That could change at any time. A year ago, most collectors could never have told you what the first appearance of Carol Danvers was. Nothing is forever in comics, and nothing is guaranteed.

namisgr Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) This one just fetched a price 25% over the previous GPA all-time high.

EXPLODED from ~$1,500 just 45 minutes prior to close. I figured if I could grab it for $3K it would be a great pick-up, hot damn though. The (1) 9.6 may never come to the market, so it might as well be the highest graded for now. Just crazy! ___ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the pics Ronan also appears to be in this movie, so I guess FF #65 could get another small bump. Also Amazing Spider-Man Annual #16, the first appearance of that other Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau. But that's not a Silver Age book obviously.

Yeah, I also grabbed a FF#2 mid-grade a couple years ago at a relative bargain. That’s a book that seems to be slowly gaining steam.

Callaway29 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I’m also happy to see FF2 do well (the very early FF’s command respect), but also surprised the first appearance of a race, vs individual character or team, is getting so much spec...

Dick Pontoon Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Meh. The run-up has everything to do with hype and dollar signs. Prices were relatively flat for years until the Disney/Fox acquisition. These kinds of huge leaps are always based on speculation and have little to do with love of storyline or the book itself. Although I don't think FF #2 will be dropping down substantially post-movie release, like many other super-villain hype books do.
