    Great list! In my opinion Batman 227 isn’t a Bronze Age horror comic. It’s an amazing cover, but not a horror comic or horror theme to me. Would absolutely replace that with House of Secrets #88! I would also add House of Mystery #214, my personal favorite Wrightson cover! Thanks for the list, I still feel that BAH doesn’t get the love it deserves!

    • @rhmidwestcomics

Also, I appreciate your thoughts on 227. That choice was really made for the cover art and not the stories, but I definitely see your point. Thanks for the comments. I enjoy these discussions.

    A definite slant towards the DC Bronze Age horror comics. I've never been a fan of the DC horror stuff, but we all know the saying about opinions... I'm just always amazed that the excellent cover of Dead of Night 1 by John Romita is left off of these lists. To me, it's so reminiscent of the pre-code horror stuff. I know it's a reprint comic, but like the Golden Age, it's all about the covers--not the stories.

    I guess it depends on Your definition of high end vintage. There was an ungodly amount of high end sealed vintage, graded vintage, prototypes ect. Going to a toy show expecting great comics is like going to a comic show expecting great vintage toys. There’s always some because of crossover collectors but it’s definitely not the focus. I could always do with less modern personally no matter what show it is but realistically a lot of people buy modern junk.

Even at this massive toy show, there were more graded comics than toys. I was surprised by that, but maybe the toy hobby just hasn't grown with grading like comics have.

There are some comic books still setting records, like the case of the first appearance of the green goblin.. amazing Spider-Man 14 8.0 sold for $9900 record price on eBay about two months ago.. 9.6 sold for $50,000 on Comic Link recently and the fair market value Go Collect is $35,000.

There are many older collectors that aren't flippers or dealers and will eventually want to sell their collections. Obviously we all would like people who've been collecting their entire lives to get the most money possible for retirement. Don't you want that for them?

      @@rhmidwestcomics the video itself isn’t boring, it has some solid insights and I appreciate the research. My qualm is with the focus on these same books from multiple channels. Some content creators have even gone so far as to try and create an “index” using these books. Ha!! I get it, they are heavily traded and sold, so I understand the logic but a fresh crop of books or a focus on overlooked/rare books is highly needed to diversify people’s interest and potentially turn them on to something new, thus driving collectors to new pockets of collecting and generating excitement.

    It's not getting ugly, everything has just fluctuated down for a while because the economy has shifted, the movie franchises have had little impact and overall excitement seems to be down. It will go back up eventually.

    Hulk 181, gsx 1, and asm 129 have close to 20k each in census which is very high. Books like HoS 92 and MS 5 (ghost rider) are actually quite rare in anything above a 6.5. with only 5-6k each in census total. So naturally I think over time the market will reflect supply and demand fluctuations accordingly. Hulk 181 will always be a popular book with high demand. However its value may also be beholden to its high cgc census numbers. The people collecting these books aren’t effected by economic trends as much as the average consumer but the global economy still has an overall impact. Younger generations have shifted their collecting more towards Pokémon cards. These social shifts also influence the value of bronze keys especially. As those younger generations aren’t coming in droves to scoop up hulk 181.

      Yeah and about 1000x more people interested in Wolverine x men and even punisher Supply is important but Demand is also just as important in economics.

    I predicted a drop in comic prices about 15 months ago, based on forecasts from leading stock market analysts and economists who were warning of an impending recession. It was logical to expect that the comic hobby would follow suit. With the current high inflation and economic uncertainty, people have less disposable income to spend on comics. As you mentioned, it's great news for those who do have extra funds, as they can now acquire key comics for much less than a few years ago. Unfortunately, this downward trend in comic prices is likely to continue for another 12 months.

      Well, the pandemic bubble ended over two years ago and the prices quickly began to drop then, so I don't think you were in a minority with your prediction (except for dealers with their vested interests). I do agree with you about the continuing drop, and I think it will last longer than 12 months.

    I always keep an eye on the High Grades, Prices at Heritage, as a comic collector since I was 8 years old, (71 now). still collect too, I find it amazing about comic art, that never seen much in my early collecting days. We just knew collecting was going to change when the CGC started up, hated it. Mainly because I couldn't get nicer books for the old prices! I enjoyed your analyzing of the Prices on the books... no doubt this will be a Big Auction for Heritage. will check back to see how you see that.

Books are extremely expensive now and many cannot get the books they desire. We'll see how things in the next year as prices will probably continue to fall.
