KirbyJack Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I have JIM 83 in the 5 slot, and Avengers 1 ahead of both FF 5 and Strange Tales 110. Then again, I haven’t bought a major key in over a decade. So as usual, I have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about. zosocane and 1950's war comics 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 The two books I’d add to your list are Sgt. Fury 1 and TTA 27 (or 35), but more for their importance than value. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is nice to see it getting appreciation. Doom is the “Joker” of Marvel. The most important Marvel baddie. You have to figure top three marvel villains are some combo of: Dr. Doom Magneto Thanos probably in that order - although for me Doom and Magneto are real close It is an awesome book that WAS on my list - but not at current prices.

zosocane Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 A CGC .5 Stan Lee SS sold this month for $1,265. CGC 3.5 copy closed this month for $2,800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is dated thinking, but the "Big 3" Marvel villains, to me, have always and continue to be Dr. Doom, Green Goblin, Galactus. These are the villains that when you'd get next month's issue and you see any of those 3 in a new story arc, you think, "oh sh#%."

I can maybe see Galactus - but Green Goblin is only really a Spider-Man villain and has no real impact on the marvel universe. Plus not even sure if the Goblin is a bigger spider Villain than Doc Ock (he probably is but I prefer the good doctor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayzr Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I remember about 8-10 months ago there was an FF 5 CGC 3.5 on MCS. For $1300 ish...I almost bought it but decided to pass. What a regret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman619 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Anybody worried about the Disney Fox deal failing due a competing bid by Comcast? Does FF go back in the dust bin if that happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent Silver Age Hierarchy poll conducted by 1koko +/-2 years ago of the "Premiere Silver Age Keys". I think he does this poll once every (5) years. Remember, this poll was taken in mid-2016 when all of the Fantastic Four books were pretty much dead. Yet, even in 2016 when no one was interested in the Fantastic Four books, FF #1 was still able to place in the #2 spot (just behind Amazing Fantasy #15). Just thought I'd bring this list to your attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inovrmihd Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Zosocane, when you say the Fox deal will close, have you actually looked at the antitrust issues, or are you assuming it will close based on strategic logic? FYI, Comcast just announced their intention to make a higher bid for Fox. Edited May 23, 2018 by inovrmihd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're just going by the SA and BA you'd be correct, although I think the personal clash between GG and Spidey is just as interesting as the more cosmic stories. If later books after Norman's "resurrection" are taken into account, he became one of the most Machiavellian villains in Marvels history, manipulating and interacting with every major Marvel character.

When I said Doom was “Marvel’s Joker”, I meant he was the most important villain; the “Top Dog”. Personality wise, Joker is closer to GG. No doubt about it. And GG is, undeniably the ultimate Spidey villain. But, across Marvel, Doom is #1. He’s the greatest villain. Always has been, always will be. Heck, he was the inspiration for Vader (according to Lucas). Can’t get a better endorsement than that. Dark Knight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTD Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Always thought FF5 was the most recession proof villain key for Marvel...if I was gifted a silver age key that I had to keep it would be my second choice behind AF15...love that comic and never pulled the trigger on it unfortunately...
