Lol.  I was just about to post this.  In his other post he said the question hadn't been asked in 3 years.  Apparently 1 week = 3 years.

I just picked up a key book graded 9.0 by CGC for $100 - Marvel Feature #11 (first solo Thing, Thing vs Hulk issue, & origin of the Fantastic Four). Lots going on for this great issue and I think it will climb value wise in the future.

If you're talking raw copies, priced like raw copies, I'd add:

 

Next Men #21 - 1st full color appearance of Hellboy

Death Rattle #8 - 1st appearance of Xenozoic Tales

Starslayer #2 - 1st appearance of The Rocketeer

BLIP #1 - 1st appearance of Mario and Donkey Kong

Marvel Spotlight #32 - 1st appearance of Spider-Woman

Marvel Premiere #47 - 1st appearance of Scott Lang as Ant-Man

DC Comics Presents #47 - 1st appearance of He-Man and Skeletor

Adventures of Superman #500 - 1st appearance of Steel and Super-Boy (large print run, but 2 great characters' 1st appearance)

There are many Valiant books that could take off if their movies are good.

I got this from the Make Comic Book Collecting Fun Again Facebook group. I'm pretty certain that all of these fall under the $100 mark.

 

 

I think Bedlam's first appearance is Factor X #1...not X-Factor #1...that's a cool list though.

Adventures of Superman #500 Platinum is a good solution to this problem... it's still cheap (especially raw) and overcomes the "millions of copies printed" problem.

Looking nm 9.2 to 9.8 only.

[jjonahjameson11]

I think my definition of a 'key' book (AF15, Hulk 1, Showcase 4) varies widely from yours, given the imposed threshold of $125.  I can think of no book I'd consider a key for anything less than $5K in NM- 9.2

If you think ROM #1 or the 1st Squirrel Girl are 'keys' , well, I suppose this thread should end.

The first appearances of the Punisher, Venom, Ghost Rider, Harley Quinn, Moon Knight, Thanos and the new X-Men team aren't keys?

So strict! I am impressed, offended and horrified all at once!

Can you guys help me compile a list of significant key issues 1st appearances or villains of heroes or just key story arcs or complete set that you can get for around $100 or less? (125 is ok but not more than 130)

 

 

If Hollywood ever does something with this. Look out!

 

Can be had for $100 or less depending on condition on Ebay.

Other than Darkseid's first appearance, there are a ton of first appearances in Jack Kirby's 4th World books that are still around $100 pr less.  So issue #1 of Mister Miracle, Forever People, The Demon, and Kamandi are all good investments.   As soon as these characters get announced for movies, the value of these books will soar.

I hear that stock in Wizard is the key to fat stacks.  Go get you some WIZD before it’s too late!

Thor 337 is in your budget.

[GeeksAreMyPeeps]

Most Valiant characters' first appearances (that are owned by Valiant) are under $100 in 9.2, and many in higher grades as well. The thing with Valiant is that there are movies on the way; if the first is successful I would think we'll see a decent number more be produced. It's not like Marvel or DC where the obvious candidates for movies are already well-known characters whose first appearances are far more expensive than the range suggested by this thread.

Buy 50 NM +++++ copies of Turner’s 1st APPERENCE in spider woman 33!

That thread escalated quickly from affordable to TMNT1 and Marvel silver mega-keys.  This thread's for the 99 %.

It has been a real bear for me to find a reasonably priced Demon #1 in decent shape. I suppose I could pull the trigger and pay the going rate (not that it is super expensive but the rest of the books from all the other Kirby 4th world series I got fairly cheap- except #1 Kamandi). -- but I think it comes down to me not valuing the character enough. I have the others-- and opted for decent but not high grade copies. Don't forget OMAC. I have given up on ever getting more of the Jimmy Olsen books - especially 134.

That's actually a tough book in above 9.0.  I bought a copy off the newsstand, and then bought about 12 copies in attempted upgrade.  I think my current copy is about a 9.2.....,

Super tough.
