Lonzilla Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Strange Tales 178 in low grade is reasonable but high grade has taken off. Someone is asking $550 for a 9.4 copy on ebay. There's 2 9.4's with a $325 BIN on there now, though I'm not crazy about the wrap job on either of them. I don't wanna see any white on the spine for such a classic cover like that. Same goes for Captain Marvel #29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmiesta Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Lets see now, why? Because someone else is selling a 9.4 for $205, and there are a few other cheaper ones too, as for it being tough, there are 111 copies on ebay now, the only reason it is "heating up" is because it is the first appearance of some second rate character that is rumoured to appear in a future Marvel film, apparently that is all it takes now for a book that you wouldn't wipe your rear with last year to heat up.

Same goes for Captain Marvel #29 I agree with the classic cover, that is the only reason I would buy this book, but that will never happen at those prices.

the blob Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I see better interest in the Kirby Fourth world stuff like Mister Miracle, Forever People, New Gods.. not just the "keys," just generally speaking. Those were dead titles for sooo long. Not talking big bucks, but healthy numbers for books that were dollar boxers for a long time. Not on the point of sales, these are books I never read, but I collected them because I liked Kirby's chunky covers...so I'm looking at a few of them, but seriously, Drax is the name of Darkseid's brother?? Starlin really, you couldn't find a different name for Thanos's foil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind that there's 130 copies currently listed, the condition on the majority of them won't even get an 8 grade. As for slabbed copies, I would wager that the bulk of the 94.-9.8's are in permanent collections. It's a cult favorite run, pending movie appearance or not NM-MT 9.8 = 17 NM+ 9.6 = 78 NM 9.4 = 79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divad Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I've been trying to grab both of these in the last few months to no avail as yet. Surely we'll see Wrecking Club in the Marvel Cinematic/TV universe soon. If you like Wrecking Crew, I'd recommend Iron Fist 12 too, Claremont & Byrne with Iron Fist and Cap team up! Grap, and flip it quick cause absolute garbage doesnt sell high for long. What DREK The only reason these are cheap is because Overstreet never singled them out. Had they been labelled as first Wrecking Crew by Overstreet and Wizard in the 90's, key collectors would've hoarded them, and we'd be seeing prices where the Sabretooth appearances in Power Man are now. Sabertooth and Power Man (Cage)? Um, I don't think so. Did I quote this wrong? I don't think so, but sorry if I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooter99 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Wow, finally one of the books I hoarded in my youth is heating up. I need to see how many I have. Over/under is 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 2d app is not bigly expensive, at least raw, and I don't think the third is,ar all, so it's not inconceivable. Don't think we are comparing it to iron fist 14.
