Is this real? And if so how much would it be worth?
>>84081201
I'd throw it away for you for only $1
$1.50 if it's raining outside
Like 5$? It's not one of the variants so who gives a shit
>>84081201
>there are people who invest in comics printed after 1990
Top fucking kek.
>>84081201
>how much would it be worth
About $3.99

>is this real?
You referring to the Stan Lee autograph?
Not sure how well known this is; autographing an item actually destroys the value of the item. Hence, any value you now have lies with the autograph itself.
>>84081201
Stan Lee does like ten convention appearances a year. Probably autographs thousands of comics at each one.
Thing's worth less than the paper it's printed on.
>>84081272
But it was actually a good comic even for Slott and as a bonus it had an intact marriage.
>>84081201
It's a shitty Slott comic from a shitty Marvel event.
You shouldn't touch that, even if the Great Devil Himself signed it.
>>84082566
that shit about comic books being valuable is over, anon, specially modern comics
>>84081201
My brother bought this for 300 dollars. Should I tell him?
>>84082457
And even then, Stan Lee has lived so long and made so many public appearances with countless autograph sessions that his signature will be worthless for decades to come.
>>84083162
Well until he dies.
>>84082457
yeah it's not a very well known fact but autographing isn't a good idea unless you can absolutely verify the autograph is legit
>>84082999
Yes, record reaction on hidden camera.
>>84082999
>my brother bought this for 300 dollars
So the reason old comics were valuable was a) because they introduced era-defining characters and b) because back then nobody gave a fuck about collecting so kids chewed up all but a literal handful of them, right?
So even if ten years from now Miles Morales suddenly becomes The Best Spider-Man Ever, Changed Our Lives Man, his introductory comic is still gonna be worth balls because there are like 100,000 out there?
>>84082999
Your brother is a fucking idiot. You could pick this issue up in a dollar bin at most comic shops, and then go to any con where Stan Lee is doing signatures (which isn't hard to find) and get him to sign it for $20 and a couple hours wait in a line.
>>84082713
Hey man, Secret Wars was pretty good by Marvel event standards.
>>84083287
Its a Gold CGC, which means they've already verified it.
>>84083410
Yup that's basically it
The only comics of the past 30 years that ever get to be worth anything are indie comics with small print runs. And Deadpool's first appearance, although that will die down in a few years.
>>84083410
Yes, pretty much. Spawn got a movie, tv show, cartoon and a whole bunch of other shit but Spawn #1 isn't worth anything because there's a fuck ton of them.
The two instances of modern comics that are worth a good bit are Edge of Spider-verse #2 (first appearance of Spider-gwen, but only like 30k copies were made) and Walking Dead #1 for a similar reason. Basically, if you look at a comic and go "I bet this'll be worth a lot of money someday" then 99% of the time, enough other people thought the same exact thing that it sold to the point that that'll never happen.
It's a matter of scarcity combined with impact. Like, X-men #1 from 1991 was bought by a shitton of people because they thought it'd be worth millions some day. But because so many people had that same thought, it became the highest selling comic in history (8 million copies) and therefore is arguably the least valuable comic you'll ever find.
No one really expected Walking Dead to take off since it was just another zombie comic, so the first issue, while selling decently for an image comic, did not sell that high since speculators weren't buying it up in droves thinking they'd make money off of it someday. Then it becomes a TV show and game and everyone loves Walking Dead and as a result, that first issue is worth quite a bit of money.
If it's an A-list character though, it's never going to be worth anything because they're ALREADY an a-lister. No Amazing Spider-man comic (like the OP's Renew Your Vows) will ever be worth anything because it's fucking Spider-man.
>>84081989
It's worth $3.99 plus the grading cost which is like $40.
>>84083410
>also a bunch of moms got together and had a bon fire cuz they dont want kidz reading comics.
>>84083646
Stan Lee also tends to charge around ~$80 for a signature. So $4 for the issue, 40 for the CGC rating, and 80 for the signature. So about $125 all told.
>>84083716
If I wait a few years after he dies can it sell for more then that?
>>84083555
there's stuff like Watchmen #1 and Sandman #1 that hold value, but the thing about speculating on stuff like that is that you're never going to know what the next big thing will be
also the era of comics getting mainstream recognition, and that in turn turning into collector value, is pretty much over
>>84083410
Also, back then, comics weren't printed on nearly as durable a paper as they are now.
They were meant to bought for a nickel or whatever, and then meant to be thrown away when you were done reading them.
Very few people thought to hang onto them back then, and even fewer people thought to actually preserve them.
>>84083205
>>84084068
>implying Stan Lee will ever die
Even if he were to hypothetically die, his signature is probably the most prevalent of any comic book writer in history. It might tick up in value, especially for a while afterwards, but it won't make you a fortune.
>>84082999
The price is because of the grade. 9.6 is pretty good (scale goes to 10).
You could get that issue signed by stan for cheaper if he's at a nearby convention, but the money is in the grade.
I don't know enough about prices on modern graded comics to say whether $300 is too much. You can get J. Scott Campbell's variant cover signed and graded at 9.6 for $400 looking at a quick google search.
>>84084321
well considering a Watchmen #1 9.4 will go for a hundred bucks it's pretty safe to say that the brother got ripped off majorly
