last year I snagged an x-force 2 cgc 9.8 for 40 bucks and gave it to my brother-in-law for christmas... told him it was an investment. my brother-in-law will be going to his first comic con with me here next weekend now, haha. he loves deadpool, so its not like he's gonna sell it, but i think he sees the potential in stuff he loves anyway being worthwhile in collecting now.
if you have the money buy 50 x-force #2. that's going to be a $250 book before you know it. 2nd Deadpool? who are the 5 most collected characters by those under 40? he in there?
This was fantastic, Dave. To hear these older keys at decent prices shouted out makes the waters of the hobby feel a little more swimmable. The challenge for people like me (i.e. north of the border) is that even though these are affordable, I have to factor in exchange and shipping, and sometimes customs/import fees.
Had all of these at one time but after my big sell off in 2013 I only have re purchased a few of these. Spectacular Spideman #1 x3, First mar-vell x3,Micronauts #1 x3, Spawn #1 x3, New Mutants #1 x 2 cgc,Omegamen #3 X2 +1 cgc, Ironman Submariner #1, Alpha Flight #1 cgc x1, Moon knight #1 x1.
Great list, Dave! I’ve got 3 Micronauts 1s and 3 Moon Knight 1s. I think a good buy for under $100 would be Takes to Astonish 70 - the first Submariner solo stories, along with Hulk! Cheers!
I have a question if you don't mind me and my wife are buying venom cgc 9.8 on ebay for under $30 and $20 we somtime have to go $40 or $50 but we think buying comics for our collection we think cgc has the most value what do you think
Venom Lethal Protector #1 is a sharp comic. I'd like to grab a gold variant at some point. Unfortunately, I always find another coveted comic that jumps the line (... I'm looking at you "Something is Killing the Children...") I'm wondering if the subsequent issues of Lethal Protector (ie: 4 & 5) will continue to outperform Issue #1, or will they eventually level off? The 1st appearance of the supporting-cast-symbiotes seems to be pretty hot right now... Great list! I'm a sucker for that ASM Lizard cover too. The yellow background is a tad more forgiving than the darker covers in regards to those pesky white eyelash creases...
great video...would like to see some like this..since I'm on a budget of purchasing comics for my collection.. finding some graded key comics under $100.00 would fit my budget.
Imagine this: sending something you value to a stranger (and even multiple strangers since you will be shipping it). Then allowing a stranger's interpretation or "skilled" subjectivity, if you will, decide the fate (score) of this item which will ultimately seal (pun intended) that item's monetary value. Sounds crazy right?! It gets better. After that "experts" opinion, that book will be locked in a case of cheap plastic for all times. You then are told an almost unbelievable tale about how it is far superior and more valuable than its unsealed brethren. Crazy times folks! Especially, when taking into consideration the fact that the valuable you have submitted, which is a BOOK, sole purpose is to be perused and enjoyed.
Nice video! Hypothetical, if you had $50,000 what are you investing in? Comics or something else? If comics, then are you buying 1 mega key in a high grade or several lower grades of that key book?
If I have 50k. First I’d use some for a down payment on a house. If I already had a place and it was for investing. Then I would go for big keys. Like 5-10 big books. Spread it out a bit.
To be fair, you should have put in a disclaimer that most of these moderns sell for less than $100 because they’ll never be worth more than $100. You’re better to not buy any of these at those grades and put that money together to buy just one of those at a good grade that’s worth it and will have some type of demand.
Your statement I agree to that. But many people have asked for a cheaper list because most of my lists are books in the $1,000 and above range, so I figured I'd do a list of books that are still good deals under $100 for people that don't have the money or don't want to save. But agreed, you are better off saving and either getting the top grades of these books or different books all together.
@@VinchenzoC My point was that why would you buy any of these books at a very, very low grade at even less than $100. These books will never be worth more than probably what you paid for them today, and chances are, once the market cools down, these ultra low grade books might not even be worth half of what you paid for them. I don’t recall mentioning anything related the fair market value in my statement, it was the fact that buying books, any book, you’re better off to buy a high grade of one, rather than a very low grade of several.
I bought an INSANELY clean copy of Micronauts 1 newsstand for $15 back in March. Sent her off to CGC. We shall see if I can get that 9.8. Got a Wolverine 1 newsstand for FREE last month, because I was able to purchase it in a lot and sell everything else that came with it to get my money back. Also- I am speculating on Moon Knight 35 (1992)- First appearance of Randall Spector.
It depends. If you want to. Then yes. But as for value. Unless it’s a 9.6/9.8. Not worth sending like a $50. If it’s say worth $99 the. Ya. But depends where the price falls. Rule of thumb to me is it’s gotta be worth $100 min

You're going to have a blast watching him act like a kid in a candy shop...
Omg it's about time you put a list out for us "common folk budget" folks. Thanks for the great info on the keys. Please do more in the future. cheers!
It’s been on my list of videos to make for along time. I’m glad I finally got one out. More to come like this
Thanks Dave. Very informative. Keep it coming.
avengers 23 is first ravonna renslayer kangs love interest avengers 11 is kangs second app. great list dave
ahhh, thanks for the correction :)

ya that stuff really adds up
I like this. I would love another list of additional key comics in that $100 range
Ya I can do another one

Great vid, love to see a modern list of keys under $100 or $200 that are 9.8's
for sure, I can make a list like that
I just subbed because of this video so yeah, please make more of these 25 keys under $100🙌🙌
Awesome. Thanks for support of the channel. Will do
Great list, thank you. Would be fun to see more like this. Maybe even play with the price tiers. Under 100, under 250, under 500, etc.
Ya that was something I was planning on doing. Just seeing if people liked this first before I did a bunch more research and making the videos lol
@@ComicBookInvestments makes sense. Great content as always!
Good information, and I appreciate that you used sales data too.
Glad it was helpful!
Your videos are great very informative
Thank you. Glad you like them
Really like this. Thanks.
Thanks. Glad you liked it

good books, ya TOA 70 is a good key to get as well
Great video man, always love your content.
I appreciate that!
Thanks for the video, I’m definitely going to be looking into X-men 282
1st bishop. Can’t go wrong
First appearance of spawn is Malibu sun 13. For static get the platinum edition it is more rare.
I have a question if you don't mind me and my wife are buying venom cgc 9.8 on ebay for under $30 and $20 we somtime have to go $40 or $50 but we think buying comics for our collection we think cgc has the most value what do you think
I wonder how influential your videos are on the price of comic books globally!??! You are the Comic Book Wolf Of Wall Street! 😂
These are good deals
I'm adding couple to my list.
Over 100 or 150 I'd probably wouldn't be interested
Hahha loved that movie. But I doubt I have a real impact on the market. There are a lot of people that don’t even have a UA-cam.

Ya those variants of venom are cool. I’m also more impartial to the asm 45 because I had it as a kid lo
shazam #1 is soooooo underrated. it's his first appearance since the golden age. hes also a very major character which is impressive
exactly, not sure why its still so cheap
Awesome video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video! Def more of these. Def 💯
Thanks :)
That is very interesting thank you. 😎😎👍🏾

Love these types of videos
thanks, i'll try to do more in the future

Ya that is why I did it. People have been requesting a video like this. Took me awhile but I finally got around to it
You should do this list again! 25 keys under $100. Cheers, Mike
Great list, and I’m happy I just found your channel!
Awesome! Thank you! glad you like my channel
I can't wait to see a real Galactus on screen. Great video, stay well!

nice keys
thanks, took awhile to make but glad people liked it
With $1000 would you buy 10 $100 comics, 4 $250 comics or 1 $1000 comic.
Should you spend twenty to thirty dollars for grading a book that is less than $100?
It depends. If you want to. Then yes. But as for value. Unless it’s a 9.6/9.8. Not worth sending like a $50. If it’s say worth $99 the. Ya. But depends where the price falls. Rule of thumb to me is it’s gotta be worth $100 min
Beside eBay, where else is a good place to find graded comic?
Comiclink, heritage, my comic shop, comicconnect, collectorscomics (my website)
@@ComicBookInvestments thank you sir
I got The Uncanny X-men #282.😀👍
Only problem with this is the money Is in 9.8
ya the big money is, but with only $100 hard to get a 9.8 since just casing a comic is nearly $40
@@ComicBookInvestments best to find a beautiful copy raw imo
Where are you finding these books for these prices?
I used gocollect
@@ComicBookInvestments thank you love the videos keep up the great work! Ps I just picked up uncanny x 282 for 70$ in a 9.4 thanks for the tip!
What about non grad
I’m not sure which Retailer you’re buying from but if I can get a 9.4 CGC graded for $75 I will buy them all day Wolverine #1
These are actual sold prices
Dah-veed tells you what you need.
Thanks :)
