If the 4500 that the 9.6 just went for on Heritage is repeatable, that puts it in the same ballpark as a nice mid grade Strange Tales #110. On the other hand it would break up my Steranko Strange Tales covers complete set in 9.4/9.6. At $4500 there would be no consideration, it would be gone. jimjum12 and PKJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the best thing to happen to the DCU (Harley Quinn was by far the best animated series of any comic property in the last decade) honestly, watching cuoco do physical dramedy on the flight attendant I have to wonder if she would have been better in the live action role than robbie, who definitely does look perfect in it and got it right about half the time in birds of prey. i hope DC doesn't give up on her just becauase BOP did a bad box office. I think they marketed it poorly and covid being around the corner probably didn't help matters at all. but Warner is a bunch of chickensh*ts, so now they're giving up on the character.

I'm not sure it will lose all its value . . . it sounds like this character will appear in the Black Widow movie and maybe other MCU films. Agree that the size of the spike seems unwarranted, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole market seems like reckless speculation now, but if I were to speculate recklessly at least with a silver age book it doesn't seem as foolish compared to more modern books given that there is some high grade scarcity in these, besides it is a classic Sterenko book which probably helps it too.

Bludriver Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I looked on ebay and the lowest price for TOS #50 is $1,000 which is crazy. I have a low grade copy of this issue so it looks like I won't be upgrading anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also just realized I have a TOS 159 that I had picked up last year in a random online auction lot (where I was mostly interested in a MSH 20 that looked VF+/NM but turned out to have a loose centerfold), so that pleases me.

Bludriver Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Another book I can't find any copies of below $850 (an 8.5 CGC) on ebay is X-Men #64. Is there speculation on Sunfire and people have grabbed all the low & mid grade copies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but is it really worth the same as ASM #42 the first real MJW appearance, because that seems where it's headed? I just checked on ebay and ST #159 is selling for almost as much as #135. So the first appearance of a pretty minor character is running close to the same as the first appearance of SHIELD and Nick Fury as a colonel in the then contemporary Marvel universe? Does that make any sense other than frothy speculation based on a TV appearance? Edited April 23, 2021 by rjpb jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
