    In this video we take a look at some comic books that are worth picking up if your are into comic books as a investment. The prices of comic books ebb and flow consistently, but the issues in this video are those that I believe are most likely to continue climbing in value. Please let me know of any books you feel collectors can never go wrong with. Enjoy!

    The girl on the cover of House of Secrets #92 is Louise Jones, later Louise Simonson, legendary Marvel editor and writer of the 1980s, and Mrs. Walt Simonson.

      @@Dante19883 It's odd both Secret Wars #8 and Transformers #1 came out around the same time and Transformers #1 has the black costume (ie Venom) in the bottom corner. I believe they came up with the idea for Transformers.

    Hey thanks for getting back to me this is Bob in Connecticut but I was way off on the amazing fantasy 15 6.0 I only paid $4000 about 10 years ago in New York 6.0 just sold for $96,000 last week. X-Men 17.0 that’s another great story of mine because I only paid $300 years ago for a not graded comic and it came back 7.0. well on eBay there was two copies of 5.0 this past week they’re sold for $28,000-$30,000 and that’s only for a 5.0.🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

    1 tip. When you're holding the comic book, you never want to hold it by the spine. It can potentially lower the value if you damage it.

    @Deephouse_Gent66 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You are correct in that most of the books featured in this video have been worth a pretty penny for at least a couple decades if not longer. Some of the Bronze-Age titles like Werewolf by Night have skyrocketed in value over the past decade or so because many books from that era are starting to become rarer as secondary market copies dwindle. I can recall going to conventions in the early 2000's when bronze age material would be all over the place for pretty cheap. As those copies have started to disappear, their rareness has raised the value. Not saying that's the case with all bronze age titles, but it is for many of them.

    • @Dante19883
      @Dante19883  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Totally agree! As time progresses, Bronze Age books are becoming as elusive as some silver and golden age books. I know a lot of collectors who have resorted to focusing on the 80s and 90s era comics as a result

    Nice to see a new video from you! I have also been surprised about how valuable Werewolf by Night 32 has been getting. Moon Knight is far from a top tier character, but he does have a cult following. I think the main reason is a combination of the cult status of Moon Knight and the fact that Werewolf By Night had a pretty low print run, especially in the later issues.

    • @Dante19883
      @Dante19883  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for stopping by! Always a pleasure to hear from you! I never thought about it that way. But now that you mention it, I guess the fact that night has called status, and the fact that werewolf had a low print run would make it a perfect recipe for a valuable book. Thanks for the insight! Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for commenting as always

    I was thinking today, “wish Dante would post a video,” and you did and I very much enjoyed it. I think we agree about collecting: I just want a nice copy to say I have it - and if the water damage doesn’t distract from the appearance, I wouldn’t care, either. Again, great video; I wasn’t familiar with a few of these comics, but will definitely be on the lookout for them. PS: Yes, everyone is STILL talking about it 50 years later, but killing Gwen Stacy is the worst thing Marvel ever did IMO....and one last thing: GI Joe 21 and DC Comics Presents 26....both of these are steals at current prices.

  • @TheJohno95
    @TheJohno95 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    As always, Dante, great video! The mystery of Moon Knight...When Moon Knight first appeared in Werewolf by Night #32, I think they were trying to come up with a nemesis for Werewolf that would add some excitement....The sales weren't great with all the monster and mystic characters he was fighting. So, I think they thought a superhero type might work better. Didn't save the book, but....Moon Knight caught on. Let's be honest....He's basically a Batman rip-off in silver. But, they wrote his early solo appearances like the dark Batman books of the 70's, so that style caught on with Marvel fans who might not be big on DC. Or just wanted more stories like that. Finally, he became a superstar in the early 80's when his own book by Doug Moench and Bill Sienkiewicz started. There were not as many new books coming out in the early 80's, so that gave him a leg up on new readers. And the books was very dark and moody, which got it a lot of notice and critical acclaim. When Marvel tried three books on the Direct Sales Only market, Moon Knight was one of them and that pretty much killed it. All three actually. Ka-Zar, Moon Knight, and Micronauts all had pretty solid sales. But in those days, having them only available on the direct market caused their sales to dry up and they died. Moon Knight seems to be luck, though, in the sense that almost every time he pops up in a book, they sale. Since Marvel really doesn't care much for the character, he's a great place for new writers and artists, and they've done a lot of good for him! Now, finally, as a Werewolf by Night collector, this has always killed my collection, since most of those old issues are VERY reasonable buys, but they you hit #32, #33, and a fake Moon Knight in #37, and there are three books that crimp my style! It was bad in the 80's, when they were like ten bucks on the after market, but now, being up in the thousands? Not worth it. Always watching for some banged up copies just to have a complete set, though.

For example, my boy TaskMaster from Avengers#196 ( 1st appearance); I love the character and was jazzed he was created by George Perez months before he created Deathstroke, was a fantastic villian/ Antihero to Avengers/ Captain America and became my favorite fighter in Marvel vs Capcom 3. No one cared about him until he got announced as the villian for Black Widow. Now his book bring a mere $18 book is now a $50+ dollar issue.

      @@Dante19883 Can you explain to me what is "ruined?" If you actually like reading comics, and want to just read an issue but don't want to spend 50 or 100 bucks, there are countless ways to do so without spending that kind of money. First, you can download the digital issue of practically every comic book published for only a couple of dollars. Secondly, there are countless reprints and facsimiles of most key books, or even 1 dollar "True Believer" reprints. There are also cheap trade paper back collections, many in which you can actually read for free by checking them out of your local library.
      So I am just curious to what is "ruined" because you didn't get your hands on a book before the demand for it made the value increase? Is the fact that AF15 is worth thousands of dollars something that "ruined" comic books for those that actually like to read?
      I will tell you and Lowell like this: The fact that comic books actually retain and gain value... is the only reason why they still exist today.

      @@Dante19883 Oh and actually, they just released a $1 True Believer reprint of that Savage She Hulk #1 that you want. So the movie/show hype actually made that book cheaper for you, because you can get it for a dollar. And if you aren't satisfied with the reprint, then maybe the reason you wanted the book wasn't actually just to "read" it. I mean, did you desire it before the announcement of the show? Again, honestly questions. I appreciate your positive attitude in your videos and I don't think you're a bad guy (I mean, you're Canadian right? that's like an oxymoron!), I just think your perspective on comics is a bit warped and a bit self centered.

    Moon knights 1st appearance is so pricey because it's kind of rare. Werewolf by Night was not that big of a seller for Marvel in the 70s. So the print run was a fraction of there main titles at the time
    So yes the supply does not meet the demand even though hes a C list character

I believe the Transformers #3 is the real first appearance of the black suit spiderman (ie Venom) Also is there a big difference between TMNT 1 and the others in the run because there were 4 books in total is the first run of all 4 books rare?

    • @Dante19883
      @Dante19883  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey there! Thanks for your comment! I actually haven’t read transformers so I can’t really comment, but any early TM andT box are rare and are very expensive. The rarity and the high prices is because the print runs for the first books were very low. They weren’t sure what the TMNT series was going to do, so they kept the print run slow. Second or third and even fourth prince of early TMNT appearances are also expensive because as the prices continue to rise for first prints, collectors are resorting to getting the later printings resulting in the rise in price of those editions as well.

    Hey love your video anyway buying comic books is a good way of quitting your job. When I was a bartender and restaurant manager I was buying Marvel and DC and I have not bartended in about 10 years now I didn’t save any money when I was in the restaurant business but obviously I have to sell, comic books so I never have to go back to work. Of course the X-Men right now is king they were always worth more than the avengers anyway even though the endgame is the biggest movie of all time obviously the X-Men comic books are worth much more than the avengers. Just look what happened to X-Men 1 in the last year alone I have a 7.0 it was only worth about $10,000 a little more than a year ago right now it’s March 16, 2021 I will have no problem selling that for over $30,000 if I wanted the money. I was just offered $25,000 I laughed. But I only paid $300 it was ungraded and it came back at 7.0 off white pages. I have other keys that I did not sell as of yet but I don’t want to take them to my grave and I even have a superman 1 5.0 no trimming restore. It’s anyone wants a comic book that is taking off like a rocket that is relatively new they should get the first appearance of spider Gwen edge of spider verse 2. Well nowadays you have to be wealthy if you want to buy the KEYS . Everyone should think about getting the spider Gwen that is still affordable.🤑🤑🤑🤑😛

    Everything is dictated by speculators in the comic book industry and that's why the hobby is dying and publishers are having a hard time attracting new readers. Not everything you buy is a collector's item, but you'd never know that if you're a comic book reader. Why in issue number (insert all issues from one to whatever number the comic ends at, because they will restart the line with another number one) it's the first appearance of the main character..and his supporting cast..and this villain..and this hero who might get a Netflix show..maybe a series on SyFy..this issues has the art of the next Jim Lee..or whatever new young gun is on the scene nowadays..and on and on and on and on..The world's best storytelling medium is dying and it's because of the people who want to have every book in their collection be as valuable Action Comics number one. I love comic books but I ain't about to pay through the nose for any comic book because of the first appearance of a character like, say Gambit from the X-Men. That book ain't "rare" and there are storage units that are crammed full of that book but if you want a "near mint" copy, you'll have to pay (insert ungodly amount here). Nope. Not gonna happen and I'll wait until the hype train runs out of steam and I can pick the book up at or near cover price or I'll just be content to get a trade or omnibus and call it a day.

You shouldn't have to say that you don't know what they're selling for. No offense to you because I'm glad to see the effort but these are things that you should absolutely have a handle on. I'll keep watching and I wish you luck.

      @@Dante19883 like you, I too have been dealing with comics for a VERY long time. However, I have resources that might help you to address the points I raised in my comments for future videos. If you'd like to learn about them (they're free) please let me know. Best of luck to you in future videos. I'll keep watching to see if you've done you're homework. (Same guy here, I changed my name)
