Thor 134 has 1st HE

The Galactus appearance is important here because it is his 1st after FF 50 and everyone is already interested in the book because of the High Evolutionary. 

The importance of the Galactus appearance is like Drax premiering in Iron Man 55. It sure is important but most people leave it at first Thanos.

They do begin an origin story in that arc, but the big G appeared in other, non-FF mags prior to Thor 160. Most impactfully, this head-turner in Thor 134!

There was DD 37 and Surfer 1 besides Thor 134? Anything else?

That cover appearance in Thor 160 is killer!

lol

I still can't believe a 3.5 hit that, but am really hoping it did.

A friend snagged a 9.0 in early Feb for a good price. He will have a nice fat 50%+ profit based on the 8.0 price if he decides to sell. Not bad for 5 mins of work and a 30 day hold.

Is X Men 4 really that hot?! :whatthe: I bought a ~3.5 last year for $400. WandaVision really has people out here doing all sorts of crazy things...(anyone who wants to trade that and my Strange Tales #110 2.5 for an FF #1 let me know I hear there's a Doctor Strange movie coming out :shy:...)

I bought a CGC 6.0 last year for $1,200, and I thought that I overpaid at the time. That's certainly not the case anymore.

I've been working on completing 1 - 5 of all the major marvel SA keys. 

I'm pretty close. The biggest book I need is FF5, but I had all the other big ones out of the way... Until X4 exploded. 

I really don't want to pay these prices for a book I de-prioritized for years.  I'm getting close enough that I feel pretty content with where I am and if I never get FF5 or X4 I'm ok with it. I would love to own then, but they've just gotten away from me this last year.

! I forgot he’s in 134, and sure had my chronology mixed up on Surfer 1 and Thor 160. And I don’t know know that I have ever read DD 37! doh!

I didn't remember DD 37, either.

Between ASM, FF, Hulk and now X Men that is no easy task. I have FF 2-4, X Men 4 and 5, Hulk 3-5, and no ASM under 6 so I'm certainly lacking some high dollar issues:tonofbricks:
