No one is expecting CGR to appear in the MCU, that is not the reason why this book is money. The reason is collectible is because CGR has a following, and Cates has a bigger following. A Cates creation will always be a modern collectible. Thanos #13 will never drop below $50 in NM shape, not a bad investment to collectors who bought in early at cover price.

 

Actually I think CGR does play some part in the appeal. As for profit, it is really a minimal gain. The other factor to consider is the amount of effort involved in constantly trying to turn over Moderns for small sales. Again, the big picture.

I see your point. I bought in at cover price so from my point of view it has been a great investment. Personally I wouldn't be paying over $50 for a copy myself. 10/10 times I would invest in this book over "limited store variants" though.

At some point these moderns especially first appearances will see increases. Since you can get in at cover price or less if you preorder I’d say it’s a decent investment. I sold all my Silver and Bronze Age Keys several years ago and now prices are out of my reach for most of them.
