CycleGirl CycleGirl Talkative? Registered: 08/29/05 Posts: 697 Loc: Oregon	I'm several weeks late with this. I guess Christmas this year was a little busier than I expected. Oh well, better late than never! In this article, I'm introducing the first title-specific index. The most successful title of the Silver Age - The Amazing Spider-man. The graph below shows how selected key issues have increased in value from 2002 to 2007. The complete article can be viewed here. Please let me know what you think!!

I collected ASM from a short time in 2003-2004 and I casually take note of the prices. They have indeed risen, no doubt. It's absolutely the most liquid title one can have in a collection...and it's also a complete bore from a challenge perspective. I guess that's why I sold 'em.

A $100 Spidey book in '02 is now only $144 now...5 years & 2 sequels later? Gotta admit I'm surprised; don't follow the title personally, but with it's top-tier standing I expected more...?

Rick I think that it's because prices were already high by 2002 when GPA started collecting data. This table is also in the article. Other titles did do better (e.g. X-Men, Iron Man), in percentage terms but their prices are still a lot lower. _________________________ Visit www.comicpriceindex.com My current Ebay auctions

Buffyfan Buffyfan Pedigreed Registered: 05/08/06 Posts: 6137 Loc: Dallas/Fort Worth	Maybe inflation should be factored into these figures? Seems like you'd see a higher return than 44% if you factor in the weaker dollar. _________________________ WANTED: (preferably pedigreed) Planet Comics 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 49 Fiction House Ghost Comics 1, 2, 5, 6 Extreme High Grade Vampirella's Savage Sword of Conan Magazines needed VF++ or better: 18, 30, 31, 32, 33, 36, 98, 129, 132, 134, 145, 151, 171, 179, 191, 192, 194, 196-210, 216, 217, 218, 221, 223, 226, 227, 228, 229, 235 UPDATED 03.19.2010

I agree. 7.6% per year is nothing to sneeze at. It's actually a good thing that we're not seeing a bubble. It's pretty ugly when a bubble bursts! _________________________ Visit www.comicpriceindex.com My current Ebay auctions
