Was anybody pleasantly surprised to find one of these in their collections? Let me know in the comments below what other content you may want to see on our next video. Be cool and #StayNerdy!
I found 3 of these titles and recently received them back from CGC a few months ago. After clean/press CCS and graded these what came back. ASM 361/3 newsstands, 9.8/9.6/9.4. New Mutants 98/2 newsstands 9.6/9.0. X-Men 266/1 news 9.8. I stopped buying new comics right about 1993 so it's awesome these were my last hurrah. Fun fact: bought the two copies of NM 98 during a beer run while in college standing in line to pay doing the pee dance.
I was at the bookstore in the mall back in the day when the black/white baggie Death of Superman comic came out. So many kids and parents buying them up declaring it would pay for their college years down the road. I bought a sealed one a few years ago for $10 shipped.
I remember buying NM 98 back in university for 15 bucks to complete my collection and, oh how I hummed and hawed over that decision. I’d never paid so much for a comic before.
I have that copy of harbinger, I need to double check pretty sure I have a coupon in it is in outstanding condition, kind of trying to look at where this should go, but it makes sense to wait till the movie comes out and then have it graded? Or is that a risk?
Yup I had death of superman, too. I was gonna sell it to my LCS, they said 5 bucks and I walked out. Dude outside was like hey man i will give you $30! Made my day.
Haha yeah fast forward to like 2006? Marvel tried killing captain america. It worked. I was back to reading marvel/avengers full steam. To thier credit, civil war was a GREAT read and still one of my favorite all time comic crossover events. Tied with secret invasion. I feel like house of M should be up there too but full disclosure: I haven't read that.
Found I had a New Mutants 98, submitted that one, came back at a 9.4, but grader notes say waves in cover, so candidate for CPR, have the second printing of NM 87 - the gold cover
A lot of comics popularity and pricing are fickled based . Takes one movie or a TV show to launch a stampede towards a particular comic title or issue . Eventually Hollywood will move from the superhero theme movies popularity and then the prices of comics will drop just like it did after the 90s get rich craze in investing in comics had fizzled out . A lot of key issues could have been attained at reasonable prices after the 90s comic investing went bust . I've seen a lot of key issues at comic con in the 2000s at affordable prices but unfortunately I didn't take advantage of because I too was fatigued from spending money on comics in the 90s . Give it time , the cycle of low prices will come back around.
Most of the books on this list have skyrocketed since it came out. You did miss Dreamwalker 0, the 1st appearance of Goon, it's rarely ever spotted in 9.6 or 9.8 but checks in close to 1,000 dollars in 9.8 when it actually comes to market. If they ever make the movie, expect it to double.
Nearly two years later, (from this video post), that Wolverine 145 Nabisco variant, graded at a CGC 9.8, was sold for $8,100! That sale was in Dec 2023. I think that high sale was due to the combination of the upcoming Deadpool/Wolverine movie and the rarity.
Just on a point, you would normally have no problems selling Spawn number 1 and Superman 75 number 1 in high grade for well over 100% profit on eBay these days. If they sold them now, and they sell well at lower prices, there is definitely a return. Spawn number 1 in high grade usually goes for a bit now actually.
"Raw copy" = "readable comic book." "Slabbed copy" = "Who knows what's in there? Who cares? It's EXPENSIVE, nerds!" CGC is a trash company that has done irreparable damage to comics.
That is freaking funny cause no joke I got a Batman Adventures #12,Batman Mad Love and some other keys for $100.I was shocked to see Bone#1 in the number 1 spot but Bone#38 Frank Miller variant is a high dollar book as well and I found a copy in the dollar bin,it has been a good month for me.
I feel like some of these key Valiant books from this era are due for a comeback. Especially Turok. He even had a couple video games that hold a lot of nostalgia for some of us.
I don’t what it is with Malibu Sun 13 but I found 3 of them when I first start collecting comics 14 years ago, and just could never find one worthy of getting graded
I used to own most of the New Mutants, including #98. I made a move and lost a long box with all of them. I hired two friends for the move. Was it them?
Awesome list and lucky to have them all..well my bone #1 copy I recently found out is a 2nd print. But that's cool for what I paid a few years back. Good job and awesome to see 90s books getting love.
For those of you who are looking for 80s X-men & New Mutants there is another Mutant title called Power Pack. I actually remembered that name due to the Fall of the Mutants Crossover Event.
There's a lot of insane sellers listing facsimile or reprints of New Mutants for over $100. Buyers(new) beware that these have very little true value BECAUSE they're REPRINTS made decades after the originals! If you're going to throw money at comics, make sure they're worth it! Stop paying for HYPE! Most newer comics aren't even worth the cover price, so reprints are actually worth less.
To a degree, I agree w/you. However, if (like me) you purged your comics when you found sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll, buying a reprint to complete your run is definitely better than not having the book at all. It will also stand out like a sore thumb when you’re looking through your collection thereby lighting a fire to save up for that OG copy🤘
@@hayesnick1556 The only point I'm making is that you should never pay collector prices for reprints. Of course it may be something to do if you can find a reprint of an issue that fills a gap in your collection where you can't find an original copy for a reasonable price. Any reprint book priced more than $2 to $3 is a waste of your $$$.
I have a copy of New Mutants 98 in my collection and had no idea it was worth that much. I knew it was valuable because of the first appearance of Deadpool but not that valuable. That Batman Adventures #12 is one of my grails, because it's the first appearance of Harley Quinn and I have a large Harley Quinn collection.
I think it’s stupid that coupons/tattoos/advertising inserts debarking complete or incomplete is a stupid idea. We are not talking about detached or missing pages here. I don’t mind the cost reduction though.
Fellow P24 member here. Love the channel. Collected comics like it was my job back in the '80s as a kid. I have about 6 long boxes in storage from that period. I last went through it in 2008, wasn't much of value then. Would love to see a video from this era. Or, if you already did one please share the link for my lazy ass.
Haha will do. But I’ll make it even easier. Checkout the website “go collect” to look up (rough) values quick as well as the app “key collector”. Hope your well, I have read some of your forum posts when you launched your course!
@@Nerdzoic Awesome, thanks for the tip. The last time I wanted to check values I had to buy one of those price guides. I literally haven't opened the boxes in 13 years. As for my course, it's going well! I am actually using the new P24 courses to revamp my lessons or whatever. Then, I will revitalize my TH-cam channel.. I've neglected my subscribers for a long time. Shame on me. :) Good luck and keep up the great work!
I have the Batgirl one :) That is so funny that this video popped up because I was actually looking up the value for my TMNT comics then I found out about the Batman Adventures comic. It's in near mint condition I would say.

Wow just checked and I have about half of books on this list.
@@ThePeepshowmopguy You liar. Why are you such a liar? Liar😄
Pleasantly surprised. Especially The Batman Adventures and Bone. Some guy offered me $300 for my copy of Batman Adventures #12, the other day.
I found 3 of these titles and recently received them back from CGC a few months ago. After clean/press CCS and graded these what came back.
ASM 361/3 newsstands, 9.8/9.6/9.4.
New Mutants 98/2 newsstands 9.6/9.0.
X-Men 266/1 news 9.8.
I stopped buying new comics right about 1993 so it's awesome these were my last hurrah. Fun fact: bought the two copies of NM 98 during a beer run while in college standing in line to pay doing the pee dance.
Wow I used to collect back in the day, I still have them , watching this video was a surprise
I was at the bookstore in the mall back in the day when the black/white baggie Death of Superman comic came out. So many kids and parents buying them up declaring it would pay for their college years down the road. I bought a sealed one a few years ago for $10 shipped.
That Carnage part one, which I had a copy and didn't know how to store it properly.. damn!
I remember buying NM 98 back in university for 15 bucks to complete my collection and, oh how I hummed and hawed over that decision. I’d never paid so much for a comic before.
I have that copy of harbinger, I need to double check pretty sure I have a coupon in it is in outstanding condition, kind of trying to look at where this should go, but it makes sense to wait till the movie comes out and then have it graded? Or is that a risk?
Yup I had death of superman, too. I was gonna sell it to my LCS, they said 5 bucks and I walked out. Dude outside was like hey man i will give you $30! Made my day.
Nice! I remember seeing people buy those by the dozen
Haha yeah fast forward to like 2006? Marvel tried killing captain america.
It worked.
I was back to reading marvel/avengers full steam.
To thier credit, civil war was a GREAT read and still one of my favorite all time comic crossover events.
Tied with secret invasion.
I feel like house of M should be up there too but full disclosure: I haven't read that.
I'm sorry, but just as a clarification, "raw copy" means as is/ungraded?
Yes. Ungraded
I have Spiderman 361 in Italian. 9.6+ (raw).
What would be the demand for that copy?
I collected comics in the 90s and have most of the valiants from issues 1-10 all in mint condition. Thanks for the video.
Found I had a New Mutants 98, submitted that one, came back at a 9.4, but grader notes say waves in cover, so candidate for CPR, have the second printing of NM 87 - the gold cover
Good video! I remember the CRAZE about getting early Image comics. Those were the days...
Yes it was!
I loved the 1990s.
A lot of comics popularity and pricing are fickled based . Takes one movie or a TV show to launch a stampede towards a particular comic title or issue .
Eventually Hollywood will move from the superhero theme movies popularity and then the prices of comics will drop just like it did after the 90s get rich craze in investing in comics had fizzled out .

Give it time , the cycle of low prices will come back around.
Just a heads up, keep an eye out for Twisted Metal 2.
Especially if you get it graded.
00:50, Indiana Jones didn't stash the Ark of the Covenant, that was done by "top men".
How do you look them up
Most of the books on this list have skyrocketed since it came out. You did miss Dreamwalker 0, the 1st appearance of Goon, it's rarely ever spotted in 9.6 or 9.8 but checks in close to 1,000 dollars in 9.8 when it actually comes to market. If they ever make the movie, expect it to double.
We need more comic book videos!!!
*adding..... 😁

I pull Superman 75s out of dollar bins all the time. Pay a buck or two, sell em for 7 or 8 if in NM.

Amen and helped drive the prices out of the roof for back issues.
It’s the NFT of comic books...
Random question for you sir, behind you where it says toys r us and kb toys what does it say under that?
Great eye! Its a logo for Lionel's Kiddie City. It was a toy store in the 80's in the northeast that was almost as big in my area as Toys R Us!
That is freaking funny cause no joke I got a Batman Adventures #12,Batman Mad Love and some other keys for $100.I was shocked to see Bone#1 in the number 1 spot but Bone#38 Frank Miller variant is a high dollar book as well and I found a copy in the dollar bin,it has been a good month for me.
I have some of these, the question is how do i sell them? Thanks in advance
Harbinger surprised me. All those Valiant comics go for next to nothing but that one goes crazy.
So does this one...again u need to have the coupon and almost 100,,% don't
I feel like some of these key Valiant books from this era are due for a comeback. Especially Turok. He even had a couple video games that hold a lot of nostalgia for some of us.
@@97ghosts84 naw-not Turok-his print run is too high-but some of early Valiant ones are good buys
@@terryfloyd3505 Turok's first appearance in Magnus is pre Unity i believe. I could be wrong tho.
I don’t what it is with Malibu Sun 13 but I found 3 of them when I first start collecting comics 14 years ago, and just could never find one worthy of getting graded
these prices are laughable a year later.
I have not one but TWO venom lethal protector #1 foil covers and I was so excited! Looked them up and eh... $30 each lol.
that is not a fun feeling
And still over priced
I used to own most of the New Mutants, including #98. I made a move and lost a long box with all of them. I hired two friends for the move. Was it them?

Very cool!
What About TheMortalKombatComic from TheMK-1 Cabinet Advertisement?
Some of those sound familiar... in particular, new mutants.
Time to check my long boxes!
Yes go check them
For those of you who are looking for 80s X-men & New Mutants there is another Mutant title called Power Pack. I actually remembered that name due to the Fall of the Mutants Crossover Event.
Bald dude talking about comics...didn't think it would be interesting. Wrong on me. Great info and execution. Loved it and subscribed.
Thanks Charlie for watching and subscribing. This is a great community of people that share a mutual love of collecting.
I think 90's Comics have a lotta potential...🤘🏼💯✔️ Also, I love'em...❤️
Would you do a top 10 marvel universe list
#4 is one of the 3 slabs I have! Mine is only a 9.2 tho.
That is awesome!
So what you are saying is that I should not pay $600 for the copy of New Mutants #98.that I am saving money for.
I wouldn't buy it if it wasn't graded.

What about spiderman vol125
I wish i didn't hate the new mutants in the 90s, damn my love for spiderman.
if my Batman Adventures Batgirl is in another language how much it worth ?
What manufacturing error on Spawn 1?
Good Question. This articles sums it up! recalledcomics.com/Spawn1Error.php
I was not expecting The Goon #1 to be on this list...
Me either !
I have a copy of New Mutants 98 in my collection and had no idea it was worth that much. I knew it was valuable because of the first appearance of Deadpool but not that valuable. That Batman Adventures #12 is one of my grails, because it's the first appearance of Harley Quinn and I have a large Harley Quinn collection.
Is it for sale?
I think my cat is laying on a copy of that Malibu Sun with Spawn on the front.
I think it’s stupid that coupons/tattoos/advertising inserts debarking complete or incomplete is a stupid idea. We are not talking about detached or missing pages here.
I don’t mind the cost reduction though.
I have a raw copy of that carnage and am shocked that it could sell for $270
The DC Elseworlds you showed was wrong.. its the 80 page giant.. not the reprint 100 page spectacular..
Now do a top ten Playboy Covers!! WOoOOOO!!!
I got the silver surfer… I’ve had it for 30 yrs 😯
Awesome
Damn I had them 90s Spiderman and Uncanny X-Men.
Spawn 1 Newsstand goes for crazy prices.
Fuckkkk… I had 6 of the top 10!!!
I gave them away smh
Wow that's a lot. Try not to beat yourself up.
lol spawn number 1 is worth 100 now I bought it for 15 bucks luckily before it shot up in price
What does it mean when he says “raw”?
I'm thinking ungraded.
Now spawn 1 is increasing in value for … reasons. There are still millions out there, assuming many got thrown out.
I think I had that harbinger
Freakin love big nerdy top tens
Big nirdy! Will we ever get a best of video on the power of the force line ?
That would def be a great video!
Wait hold on!!!! So your telling me my Prime #1 is not in the top 10?? Great now what am I supposed to do with the 30 copies I have? Ugh
Lol
I bought comics in the 90sand never opened them and put the in their own ziplock and still have them
I have some of the old Cable comics.
I have a few copies of that spawn 👔
Pokemon Pogs? That's a new one to me!
I have three copies of x men 266. I should get those graded 😅
Do 60s comics!

I have
#10
#9 maybe
#8
#6 had it sold it for $45.00 it would grade t a 7 to 8
#4 maybe
#2 maybe
#1
I'm a fan of 90's comics (1990-1999).
Where is nm 98 $150?
Surprised Amazing Spider-Man 300 didn’t make the cut.
1988.

Very cool! Get that thing graded my friend!
I got 3 of those. Wow!
how about transformers1,2,3 and 4, thats why I searched the worth and this video is what I found
Italian grandmother thing.
I have 3 possibly 4 of these but I doubt they are top grade
That is the case of almost all my comics
Just goes to show you that comics do not stay hot forever.. these prices have dropped.
Im cooked I thought spawn was cool (punisher too)
Lol raw copies of NM98 for $150… in low grades
What is a "raw copy" and why are they so cheap?
Spawn #1 is a $200 book
LMFAO I've never read none of mine only collected for profit
What? No X-MEN #1....😏
HA!
SymbiOtes, not Symbites.
Wow
IIRC, Bone was popular and had decent value in the early 90s, then interest dried up and value plummeted, and now it back at high values again.
pleasse
My favorite comic all time is the' what the... Wolverine vs punisher
i dont understand why nobody collected youngblood comics from 1990s
