ExNihilo Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Guessing it'll be the "death" of Jane Foster and the return of Odinson as Thor. Unfortunately, deaths don't seem to mean much to Marvel these days since characters inevitably come back. Heck, I'm surprised Wolverine has stayed dead this long. (and if it's any sort of comparison, Death of Wolverine #4 is selling on eBay for $7. Less if you buy the full series). So will it be key? Depends on the definition of key, but if a character does die (and warrants CGC labelling the issue as such), then I guess it'll be key. Doesn't necessarily mean it's something to buy 20 issues of and sell on eBay. at least that's my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson is the only Thor that matters. If that doesn't convince you, do a search of Captain America 25, come back, and decide if you still want to ask the question.

I'm starting a speculation conversation but let's suck the fun out of it before it even gets to that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's trying to tell you that it's difficult to predict whether it's worthy of being speculative in the hopes of making a few bucks on the book. Captain America #25 was the death of Captain America and per eBay is currently selling for $5 raw. Slabbed copies are going for about $40. Essentially it's going for just about cover price. Based on that, it's fair to assume that Thor #700 won't be worth more than the cover even if Jane Foster (or even if Odinson) dies. Then again, you have books like Totally Awesome Hulk #22 taking the aftermarket by storm and selling for $50. I think it's fair to say no one saw that happening. Then again, it's also fair to say that price might come down in the future depending on how the character of Weapon H is handled over the next 10 years. It's all hit or miss depending on what becomes popular and/or well regarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fun is the speculation of "what if" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FineCollector Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I am definitely no fun, but I'll play along. Omigod, Thor 700 is going to be the roxxors! Let's all buy 50 copies, they'll all be 9.8s, and we're going to sell them for huge money! *squee!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
