So what does everyone thing are some of the most undervalued comics out there? I think major villains 1st app have always been undervalued. Its hard for me to think of Superman and not to think of Lex Luthor. Some other examples are Two-face, Penguin, and the Riddler. I think the Joker and Catwoman are exceptions just because they came out in Batman #1. But even look at Tec 45 which has the 3rd and 4th app of the Joker yet Batman #4 is worth more with the 5th app of the Joker. Now I know earlier numbers in series and how rare a comic plays a role in that but there is no way villains are getting their dues. It's hard to have a superhero with out villains. I think part of the reason is because ppl seem to hold onto those issues and there's not a lot of those Golden Age comics. So they don't get sold that often. I know many ppl will disagree with me and that's fine but I'm interested in what ppl think.

Slapstick 1!

 

At one time I would have agreed with you, but thanks to Deadpool, Slapstick has gone from the quarter bin to selling for $5-$20! We are truly living in a mad world.

With GA books, especially of popular titles scarcity plays a big role.

 

Look at the census.

 

13 graded copies of Batman 4

90 graded copies of detective 45

 

plus batman 4 is the better cover, fo' sho'

 

 

Villians are valued less than heroes because they are not in every month, so they will never be as important as the hero (Case in point, there's only one Superman but he has many villians, thus the villians 1st appearances are less valuable)

 

I will say i think Superman #30 with the first Mr Mxyzptlk is surprisingly affordable, and I've always liked [REDACTED what am i doing, dont tell him, at least not until i get my copy]

Fangraphix #1-4

 

The series was Tony Caputo's first venture into publishing, before NOW comics, which was a pretty big time independent publisher for a while. Having convenience store distribution alongside Marvel and DC, and owning some major licenses, like Ghostbusters and Terminator. #3 is the first appearance of Ralph Snart, which seems to be a forgotten property these days, but was NOW's biggest hit, bigger than their popular licenses, and is still being published today.

 

I think I got all four for about $1.15 each from Milehigh.

Hey, look! It's another "please share your hard work and time with me so I can become a flipper and make some cash money!" thread. :banana:

I feel these are equally opportunistic for the pump and dump sellers.

 

You know what's really undervalued? All this drek I can't sell anywhere else! Get it before the movie comes out, only a buck each!
