What was that comic where...?

Started by thekingofmikes3 pages

lets take a look at statistics shall we mane!?

First Carnage-$3.00
First Venom- $85.00

Ok so the second one isn't bad, but lets take a look at the first one... (which is newer then the second one to be fair...)
How can one of Spidermans most popular villians only be worth $3.00?? Simple... The comic was over printed, making supply greater then demand... basically we have a trillian copies of this issue, making it worthless. You could probably pick this up on ebay from neatstuff collectables for $1.00 ($.01 for the comic, $1.00 shipping) Personally I think neatstuffcollectables is horrible on shipping prices, but still, it's not a million dollar comic book, and you will never get rich off it, even if you wait 30-40 years.
Supply and demand make the comic prices rise and fall... That is the basics of making money off this hobby, not buying first appearences.
First appearences now are virtually worthless...

great point....and he's right, i just got Carnage's first appearance.....for $3.00 ($5 marked down).

Now back to the important question...

what were the URL's to these other comic book sites? it's against forum rules to promote yourself, but I don't see a reason why they would prohibit you from providing seemingly valuable comic information from the rest of the group...

Great job on veering the thread completely off topic everyone.

no arach, this is still very much a salvageable thread. I mean, look at the first 5 pages of the Hulk vs. Juggs thread...it's nothing but crap too.

Having another few sources to find some rare comics could go along with this thread quite nicely.

EDIT

Of course it's still salvageable, and I like the fact of having more resources, but still...

Anyone know the Punisher comic where he blew Wolverine's face off with a shotgun? It was either the Marvel Knights line, or the Max line...I can't remember.

oh shut up. youre a loser and you prove it everyday. just take a look at the comic book geek thread. talk about making an ass of yourself.

what do you expect from a Superman fan.

lol... just tried to name a few shops, but I can't post links. (Not well enough known or something like that.) I guess I have to get permission from the mods.

Mane- I wasn't knocking your belief, hell I believed the same thing you did up until about a year ago, when I started selling. I used to buy up hundreds of copies of first appearences just thinking they would go up in value. who knows how much money I lost on IMAGE.
I do agree with you to an extent, because most of the silver/golden age book first appearences are worth a lot... For those of you unfamiliar with the grading system, or the comic ages, would you like me to start a new thread so we can keep this one on topic? Also Moderators, could I please be granted permision to post links that are not my own?

this was directed towards SUPERMANDAMAN... no one else

Shadow_wolf, I cannot talk about the comic you are refering to sense I am the creator of that title, and it would seem like I was promoting it... To answer the question though, it will be released late this year/early next year.
