[Linguini]

I dunno for sure, but X-Men (vol. 1) 8 is probably the most rare one I have.
Daym I wish I had one that early, howd u get it?

[Harlock]

Actually my brother traded a bow and arrows for it when he was a pre-teen and I later inherited it from him when he got out of comics.

[Linguini]

bastard....... is it in good condition?

[Harlock]

Yes, it's in decent shape.

[Linguini]

I remember I started collecting when USM 1 came out and I was to small and stupid to buy a couple of them. Now look at the price.

[FrogMan]

Amazing Spider-Man #63
Daredevil Vol.1 #25

[Expletive Deleted]

UNCANNY X-MEN #14-16, the first Sentinel storyline.

They're not in great shape, but they're the oldest comics I've got.

SEAN

[cyclops2500]

I have Avenger (vol 1) #1. It's in terrible shape, but all of the story pages are there. Somebody actually sent out the mailaway adds and all.

[agrich]

Incredible Hulk (Vol. 1) #2. It's kind of beat-up, but everything is intact and there's no writing or anything on it.

[maniacmatt]

i dunno but i have the first appearance of speedball.

[Stagier]

giant sized x-men #1

[Babylon23]

Hard to say, since I don't really look at rarity and value too closely. I have Uncanny X-Men 39, 44, 50, 52, 55 and 94 up, Avengers from 29 up, Captain America 105, and Star Wars 1-2.

[Tony Starkz]

Hmm,I don't know about rare.But if you're talking older notables then:

Wolverine #10(1st Wolvie VS Sabes story)
Various Uncanny including the MM issues,1st Rogue on team,1st Morlocks,1st Mr Sinister,Trial of Magneto,etc

I really regret buying older back issues when I got back into comics.These days I'm all about reading new comics over and over again.My old ones just sit there.

[Fireball]

Avengers (vol.1) #7

followed by

Avengers (vol.1) #57 (First Vision)

Found them both in a back issue bin for like $30, still in fairly good condition.

[rilokyle]

I don't really having anything too rare, but the best I have is the Uncanny X-Men/ Teen Titans one-shot crossover from the 80s. Marvel says its worth $20, except mines in shat quality. My oldest Uncanny is issue 152, where Storm and the White Queen switched bodies. Other issues that are "hot" according to Wizard guides, are Uncanny 281 (where the Hellions die and the White Queen "dies"), and New Mutants 95 and 100. I'm hoping one day my Mutant X #1 will be worth something lol. :p

[Herald of Asgard]

Either Journey into Mystery #114, 118, or Thor #126

[Herald of Asgard]

Journey Into Myster #85 - 1st Loki

I hate you (not really, but...yeah)

Warlock (1st series) 11, The Strange Death of Adam Warlock

Infinity Watch 1, signed by Angel Medina

[Agentum]

Well i have a rare one with 5 diffrent cover, X-men 1 from 1991, a treasure.


I bought them for a couple of hundred dollars, they will be worth a fortune in the future.

[dingo]

Fantastic Four 33,42,52 (first Black Panther)

Avengers 19 (first Swordsman),27,33

Amazing Spider-Man 31

Of those the one I am most "proud" if such a word can be used, is FF 52 which I would say is in Fine maybe even Very Fine condition. The others are good to very good. I have a bunch of others a bit older than those too.

[thomas_catbiscuit]

daredevil 181 (elekta dies)
uncanny x-men 94 the wizard edition signed by dave cockrum (should get that cgc'd really)

[Agentum]

uncanny x-men 94 the wizard edition signed by dave cockrum (should get that cgc'd really)

Isn't that just some modern reprint?

[Angel of Death]

X-Men #12 (60's) bought it on ebay in good condition (reality: pretty shabby) for like $18 years and years ago.

[thomas_catbiscuit]

Isn't that just some modern reprint?

it is a reprint but you try to buy the signed version. its sold out and hard to get hold of, comicbookpriceguide.com valued it at $250 cgc.

[ultimatespyder20]

Amazing Spider-man Vol.1 #152

Amazing Spider-man Vol.1 #158

300th Post

[Jack Flash]

Ummm... Gen X Underground special????

[TheHumanTarget77]

pre-1970's:

Avengers volume 1 #23
Batman volume 1 #165
Thor volume 1 #132? I think...the first appearance of some living planet...
other assorted X-Men, Amazing Spiderman, Batman, Avengers, FF...

[Agentum]

it is a reprint but you try to buy the signed version. its sold out and hard to get hold of, comicbookpriceguide.com valued it at $250 cgc.
Ok, i think something is wrong when reprints gets worth more than the coverprize.
But if it's worth $250 to somebody it is.

My comic books is probably worth that all together.

[WolverinesSon]

Nothing too old but they're all mint. I might shell out the doe to get em graded.

Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider Man #1
Web of SpiderMan #1
Gi Joe #1
Star Wars #1
Wolverine Mini Series #1
Wolverine V1 #1
X Factor V1 #1
Amazing Spider Man #298(1st McFarlane),299,300(1st full Venom)
Uncanny X-Men #266 (1st Gambit)
Amazing Spider Man #238 (1st Hobgoblin)

I can probably go on and on so I'll stop right there.

[scratchie]

I also have a copy of Fear #10 (first comic appearance of Man-Thing) and Man-Thing #1, both at CGC 9.2.Actually, that was his third appearance in a comic. He was in Astonishing Tales #12 & 13 (with Ka-Zar) before he got his own series in Fear.

My rarest is probably X-Men 94, bought for an outrageous sum (maybe $10??) when I was a teen.

My oldest Marvel comics are probably a couple of early issues of Captain Marvel.

[Harlock]

Hey Mini-Logan, you might get the McFarlane spiderman stuff slabbed. With the movie coming out next year there will be more demand, and right now high grade copies are doing pretty well on eBay.

[killerbass]

OK, no laughing -- I've only been collecting since November 2005...

Ultimate Spider-Man #1 (Red, Direct Version)
Ultimate Spider-Man #2 (both versions)
Ultimate Spider-Man #5
Amazing Spider-Man vol. 2 #36
Moon Knight #1 Sketch Variant

I have an Amazing Spider-Man vol. 1 #37, but it's not worth much -- wrinkles, watermarks, and a burned top edge!

--Tom

[Agentum]

I will probably never sell them anyway so i don't keep any in good condition, i have a problem with the american comics, they are mostly in great condition, but lower grades is not for sale on the net, i can live with lower grades as long nothing is missing or torn.
I don't really want to pay more than $1 for an american comic book used, it's a lot, i can often buy Swedish ones used for maybe 20c each.
But most comics is not expensive here at all, no million dollar books like you have.
The comic collecting seems to be a bigger thing in USA, but of course you have published hundreds times more comics too and most is probably really cheap for you to get, they just don't sell them on ebay:D

If i could i would buy lower grades of comics in large piles and send them here with surface mail.

[dingo]

I've got FF from 220 to present.

[Roquefort Raider]

Avengers Annual #10 (1st Rogue)


That was a great book. I'm surprised it hasn't been reprinted more often.

[Punkrawk]

Punisher #4

[DDM]

Geez, nice run.

My longest run is of the Incredible Hulk, from 136 - 450 or so.

Well, it took me 15 years to get a complete run. I started reading Uncanny X-Men #221 in 1987 when I was 15 years old.

[DDM]

That was a great book. I'm surprised it hasn't been reprinted more often.

Today's Marvel editors probably miss all the references Avengers Annual #10 has. Rogue is not as popular today as she was under Claremont because the editors have royally screwed her up.

[ednemo]

Welcome to the board, Ron.

[agrich]

I should probably mention Iron Man #55, the first appearance of Thanos. That one's in pretty close to NM condition.

[daletron]

Chris Claremont also created the New Mutants his original run is The New Mutants #1-54, The New Mutants Special Edition #1, The New Mutants Annuals #1, 2, 3, & Marvel Graphic Novel #4: The New Mutants (1st New Mutants), although Karma first appears in Marvel Team-Up #100 also written by Chris Claremont.

awesome, thanks for that. ima definately check those out.

but i'm more in particular not looking for just claremont's greatest works, but greatest works/issues in general. I guess this can be a whole topic on its own (and i'm sure done to death as i'm still new here), but like claremont to x-men and miller to dd, i'm looking for things like that. for ex i'm still lookin to get the death of gwen stacy spider-man 121-122, anymore reccomendations of must haves like that?

[mandog]

I have every Uncanny X-Men issue to date but 32 of the real early one. I will get those eventually. Thats what Im most proud of. Oh and I have all of Larry H's G.I. Joe books.

[Kirk G]

I dunno for sure, but X-Men (vol. 1) 8 is probably the most rare one I have.
I have issue #9, the maroon cover that features the Avengers vs. the X-men up top on the surface, and the Professor underground vs. the real villian.

It's in decent shape. I also have the issue with Unus the Untouchable, except some kids drew genitals on all the x-men on the cover in ink pen. Sigh.
But it's all there, and I've got it.

I got both approximately in the mid-60s when comics were given to school carnivals and resold in bulk for ten cents each no matter what shape and what it was!
I got most of my original collection that way, including Tales of Suspense #55, Tales to Astonish #46, Fantastic Four #18, 22, 25, 33, 36, 39, 44-50! and scattered issues of Tales of Suspense with Cap and Tales to Astonish and Strange Tales #129, 134, and Journey into Mystery #110, 112, 124-130.:)
Spidey #5 and Daredevil #4, 7, 16.

[Billy Parker]

I've got you all beat...with first appearance of Iron Spidey!

[overcomebyfumes]

Jeez, if we're talking complete runs - I have every Ghost Rider (Blaze and Ketch), Man-Thing, and Midnight Sons comic. Maybe I shouldn't be proud of that...

When I was like ten, I had the chance to buy a mint copy of Hulk #181 for $30, but I decided it was too expensive and passed on it. :(

Pax.

[Ron]

Welcome to the board, Ron.

Hey, thanks,

I've actually a returning member, I dissappeared for a couple of years, not really sure why my post count reset. Not that it really bothers me.

[Zenith23]

um ere.. now lets see my stuffs all at home but.

Captain Britain vol 1 all of em.

The Eternals vol 1 full run.

the whole b/w Daredevils run with Alan Moores Captain Britain.

Marvel Spotlight on MoonKnight no. 11 (I think)

Machine Man no.1 and the first appearance in kirby's 2001 no.8

Fantastic Four first appearance of Medusa can't remember the no.

oh hell boxes of stuff from the seventies but how rare they are i don't know!

and one i missed; I can remember in my junior school amongst the comics and mags to read a no. 1 of the Silver Surfer Vol 1... boy I wish I'd nicked that.

[Hombre]

Well i have a rare one with 5 diffrent cover, X-men 1 from 1991, a treasure.


I bought them for a couple of hundred dollars, they will be worth a fortune in the future.


A couple hundred dollars? They go for $5 each, at the most. Even counting overseas s/h, I'd say they ripped you off by about $150.

[ednemo]

A couple hundred dollars? They go for $5 each, at the most. Even counting overseas s/h, I'd say they ripped you off by about $150.

Yeah, any books from the 90s, barring low print yields, aren't worth much more than cover price. That was the age of the collector. Books from the 70s and early 80s, before collectors starting bagging everything, you have a chance at a little money. I have all of the 90s Image books and all those stupid foil covered POSs bagged in a box somewhere. I'm hoping to trade them for credit to pick up some new trades eventually.
