They definitely are! Especially those Transformers comics with the, Jim Lee covers. Love Transformers and Jim Lee! I do need to get my hands on a few copies of X-Men #221 & a few more copies of Amazing Spider-Man #316.
Nice choices! I honestly feel the XMen #1 Claremont/Lee will soon be in demand. Those covers with Jim Lee art are just too iconic, to ignore.it’s also a zeitgeist of 1990s era comics.
Nice selection of minor keys! Sorry, I couldn't help but flinch every time you slammed your books down, and then leaned a heavy hand on the spines at the end as you gesticulated. OUCH! My OCD was dialed to 11! LOL!
I was born in 1981 and we used to be able to find stuff like Lethal Protector, ASM 300, etc. in bargain bins all over the place back in the late ‘90’s. The movie thing really has been a game changer in terms of value.
Lol. It’s so true. I can’t tell you how many conventions we went to and saw ASM 300 for 5-8 bucks. New Mutants 98? No one DREAMED of paying more than 20 for that one! I have one, and only one, friend who has kept ahold of ALL his stuff from over the years, but holy crud, the value of his collection has legit skyrocketed because of some of those books.
I liked what I read of Letter 44 as well. I actually took it to one of Charles Soule’s signings and he was really thrilled that someone actually brought a copy. You should also check out his other image book 27 as well. Very underrated.
Spawn first appeared in a magazine comic. I forgot what it's called. it's not the first appearance of spawn. U can pick it up for a dollar in the comic store. U can find spawn comics Just a dollar a piece. I always hated Todd McFarland art. I'm surprised watchmen first app. Is still in the dollar bin too. First bloodshot and first ninjax is still in the dollar bin too. I think they should go up too. Those 3 should be alot higher
The Green Lanterns rebirth series with her, is what got me reading DC recently! Seriously amazing character with LOTS of potential for amazing storytelling.
I just grabbed my missing issue of Spiderman 1, Todd Mcfarlane's first series as lead... cgc 9.8 signed by Todd and Stan Lee. Not a crazy valuable book (yet!) but it's the flagship of my fledgling collection! Very proud of it!
I just literally bought New X-Men 115 after watching this. I've seen other collectors have this and show it off. I was kind of shocked that it was that cheap to get. Should get hot since I've been seeing a ton of cosplayers dressed up as her lately and due to the next movie coming up. Thanks!
i wanted to ask you, do you get comics from stores, sellers, lots with price stickers on them? if so do you take them off and how? gold foil Venom does look great, glad someone in my family that also collects has one.
I am happy to say I've never had to deal with price stickers directly on my comic. So I've never had to try to take one off. Still though, I don't think I'd attempt it unless the book has a plastic type cover, like chromium it lenticular.
Oh yes i've heard of them. I would only ever by trades from them that I do not care about. Same with Amazon, never know when a seller is selling an old library copy.
Great video. I love these kind of videos. Made me target a couple books to put on my radar. Had to laugh at the Green Lantern book currently MIA. Could talk volumes about those books..... such as, even though they sold a TON of Spawn #1, I think lots of people got pissed they didn't instantly increase in value and might have trashed them. Also as I understand it, the NEWSSTAND version is currently pretty pricey in top condition. Hope the new movie does the character justice - it should now that CGI has caught up with the pages. Only thing that might sink it is if McFarlane ego gets the best of the project. I love me some TM, but his ego is his biggest asset AND detriment all at the same time.
Thanks! i am planning a part 2 already. That is very true about the newsstand editions. I have not been able to get a Spawn 1, but I have gotten ahold of a newsstand of #9, first Angela. As far as the movie, the more I hear of it the less enthused I am. Its sounding more and more like a movie i'm just going to wait for video release.
Venom lethal protector has gone up in price In anticipation of the movie get your copies while you can now. With no grating could fetch you 40-50. Grated I have seen it more than 120.
Dam I wish I could find all my old comics, I had quite a few on your list. I am surprised spawn #1 isn’t worth more than it is... I still have that venom too... What about some old He-man comics? I have several #1 issues of motu from the 80s
Yeah that is his first cover appearance, he also appeared in an ad inside Rust #1 that pre-dates that book. But allot of collectors don't put any weight into cover and ad appearances.
It's the reason you should use proper fitting bags and boards. You don't have to worry then. As long as your not throwing them across the room or buying trash protection. Buying strictly graded you're missing out on some gems. Met Todd McFarlane, got books signed. No reason for certification, they are mine, I have the personal experience (and video proof), no plans on selling them.
Not sure why you think that. There are tons of first appearances, which are considered keys, that are not very expensive. You can get the first appearance of Lobo and Apocalypse for under 50$, hell under 30$ if you look hard enough. Those sound like keys to me. Darker image 1, under 10$, first Maxx, sounds like a key there. Youngblood #2, first Prophet, under 5$!!! Lots of examples!
Wow sorry to hear of you had a bad experience with him, I can relate with others I've met and weren't very happy with. But I have a quick video of when I met McFarlane. He was a very happy and friendly guy. I guess everyone just has bad days.
First appearance of Drax was Iron Man #55, My mistake. But that is still the first Gamora!
Comic Vantage Great video! Some of these books I still have to this day!
Awesome! They are all worth having!
They definitely are! Especially those Transformers comics with the, Jim Lee covers. Love Transformers and Jim Lee! I do need to get my hands on a few copies of X-Men #221 & a few more copies of Amazing Spider-Man #316.
I've ended up with a few of those Jim Lee covers now. I love them and will be getting them signed before the end of the year!
Great picks, but watching you handle your books is giving me anxiety Dx
Haha! Nah they are fine!!
Nice choices! I honestly feel the XMen #1 Claremont/Lee will soon be in demand. Those covers with Jim Lee art are just too iconic, to ignore.it’s also a zeitgeist of 1990s era comics.
They are already moving up!
Excellent video. I loved this. I’m going to pick up that letter 44 as well. Great stuff!!!
Thanks! And nLetter 44 is one of the best stories that I've read in a long time!
I found venom lethal protector 1s in a dollar bin. I bought all 7 of them
I would have bought them all as well!
Nice selection of minor keys!
Sorry, I couldn't help but flinch every time you slammed your books down, and then leaned a heavy hand on the spines at the end as you gesticulated. OUCH!
My OCD was dialed to 11! LOL!
Double thick bags with 56pt backboards!! My books are tanks 😆
I was born in 1981 and we used to be able to find stuff like Lethal Protector, ASM 300, etc. in bargain bins all over the place back in the late ‘90’s. The movie thing really has been a game changer in terms of value.
Oh yes! I was in shock seeing prices on these books that I thought were a dime a dozen!
Lol. It’s so true. I can’t tell you how many conventions we went to and saw ASM 300 for 5-8 bucks. New Mutants 98? No one DREAMED of paying more than 20 for that one! I have one, and only one, friend who has kept ahold of ALL his stuff from over the years, but holy crud, the value of his collection has legit skyrocketed because of some of those books.
I have Spawn 1 and curse of spawn 9 but not the news stand version. The cover on yours looks cool!
And it has blown up since I made this video!
I liked what I read of Letter 44 as well. I actually took it to one of Charles Soule’s signings and he was really thrilled that someone actually brought a copy. You should also check out his other image book 27 as well. Very underrated.
That is not one I have heard of and I try to read everything he writes! I am loving Curse Words as well.

I can definitely see bloodshot going up soon, since there is a movie coming. Ninjak will probably follow.
Jessica Cruz has really grown on me. I am a hugh fan of Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby's work is cool too.
The Green Lanterns rebirth series with her, is what got me reading DC recently! Seriously amazing character with LOTS of potential for amazing storytelling.
The very early Alpha flight and New Mutants comics were some of my favorites.
Great storylines!
I just grabbed my missing issue of Spiderman 1, Todd Mcfarlane's first series as lead... cgc 9.8 signed by Todd and Stan Lee.
Not a crazy valuable book (yet!) but it's the flagship of my fledgling collection! Very proud of it!
Great score!
Subscribed and great videos. :) The amazing spider 316 super dope cover!
Seriously!!! It's iconic!
Spawn was always one of my favorite books.
Same with me!
Green lantern 20 the fcbd variant
Very nice choice👍
You forgot to mention V for Vendetta series by Alan Moore, Watchmen series, and Batman # 404-406 which you can get them under $100.
Perfect additions to the list! Thanks for mentioning them!
Great video keep up the good work , I could literally watch videos like this all day.
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Nice vid. Definitely will keep my eyes open for a few. Would like to see some other "lists"!
Rob Langille awesome thanks! I do have more coming!
I just literally bought New X-Men 115 after watching this. I've seen other collectors have this and show it off. I was kind of shocked that it was that cheap to get. Should get hot since I've been seeing a ton of cosplayers dressed up as her lately and due to the next movie coming up. Thanks!
And that's why it's on this list! Thanks!
Nice video, great books, thanks for the tip! I plan on getting these books myself. ..
Definitely worth hunting down and buying! And thank you!
cool i found a batman adventures 12 (Fist Harley Quin) at a thrift store for 2 dollars
That's an incredible score!! Congrats!!!
That funny so did i in NJ
FYI, in the end, Polaris will not be leading the new mutants. Seems to be more Illyana instead.
It does seem that way!
Very nice video my friend. That X-Men 50 - sweeeeeet!.
Glad you liked that! Was a fun video to make!
Man I'm a huge Jim Lee fan I'm hunting for the transformer covers and the alpha flight issue
Lin Y that's awesome! Glad I could help and thanks for watching!
good list, the Spawn animated series was bad ass. i remember picking up that Venom: Lethal Protector, my brother has a gold foil cover.
I still love the animated series! And hearing about that gold foil makes me jealous! I want one!
i wanted to ask you, do you get comics from stores, sellers, lots with price stickers on them? if so do you take them off and how? gold foil Venom does look great, glad someone in my family that also collects has one.
I am happy to say I've never had to deal with price stickers directly on my comic. So I've never had to try to take one off. Still though, I don't think I'd attempt it unless the book has a plastic type cover, like chromium it lenticular.
you are very lucky then, i know Half Price Books does that. 1 of my local shops puts the sticker on the plastic at least.
Oh yes i've heard of them. I would only ever by trades from them that I do not care about. Same with Amazon, never know when a seller is selling an old library copy.
Can you please tell me what kind of bags and boards you have
Sure! I use max-pro maxlite bags and comic pro line 56pt backboards!
Thanks
I just had to tell you that your bags and boards looked really clean
Great video. I love these kind of videos. Made me target a couple books to put on my radar. Had to laugh at the Green Lantern book currently MIA.

Checking the comments 2 years later to see if they're still affordable
Wow! 2 years have flown by!
I found the alpha flight 51 last week at a game/comic store for just a dollar!
Awesome score!
Venom lethal protector has gone up in price In anticipation of the movie get your copies while you can now. With no grating could fetch you 40-50. Grated I have seen it more than 120.
SolBoricua awesome! Thanks for the update!!
Just picked up spawn #1 2 weeks ago for $10.
That's a great price for it!!
Just picked it 4 $1 a few months ago
Holy half of these are no longer affordable
Yeah I was pretty spot on 🤣
Canal massa!
Eu sou do Brasil e curti bastante.
Muito obrigado! Eu amo meus espectadores internacionais!
Great list. Thanks for the tips.
And thank you for watching!
Cool video and yes those are some cheap keys, thumbs up Mr.White Gloves Outa Here.....
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by!
My LCBS was closing down and had great keys for 3 dollars
Sorry to hear about your LCS, but you gotta love great deals!
Dam I wish I could find all my old comics, I had quite a few on your list. I am surprised spawn #1 isn’t worth more than it is... I still have that venom too... What about some old He-man comics? I have several #1 issues of motu from the 80s
I haven't looked into them, but it would not surprise me if they were worth a few bucks!
great books
Thanks!
My how the times have changed....
I was looking on eBay for an amazing spider man 316 last night and you can not get it for less than a $100.
Yeah I should really redo this video 😆
I found DD #181 at a con for $5.
Great pickup at a great price!
You should bring the cardboard variant to a comic-con and have it signed
That would be hilarious!
Comic Vantage, you are like Zoolanders', hand model of comics. Keep up the great work.
Thank you and will do! 👍
@@ComicVantage Your welcome.
Awesome picks!
Thanks!!
Xmen 50 steranko or bws?
The art was by Steranko
thank you sir i remember the blastaar issue was bws
Spawn 1st ap was Malibu 13 I think
Yeah that is his first cover appearance, he also appeared in an ad inside Rust #1 that pre-dates that book. But allot of collectors don't put any weight into cover and ad appearances.
Awesome fun fact to learn!! Thanks!!
I was wondering what was the thing with Spawn 9 and now I know and I have it and Spawn 1.
patrick smith I'm glad this list could help!! Feel free to ask any questions as well!!!
Comic Vantage Thanks
I can’t find these comics for the prices u say. I mean the video is older but idk
Definitely check eBay. That is always my go to place for affordable books.
Comic Vantage thank u but also I find some for low priced and they say 1st print but seems to good and do u have a video for how bids work?
Gosh jeez what a helpful vid!!! Thanks a lot!! Love this Channel!! ⚡️ ⚡️
Awesome! I am so glad I could help!
Spawn #9 was at a comic book store I went to and the price said $20.
That doesn't surprise me. Angela has no where to go but up!
New subscriber. Looking forward to your videos!
Glad you hopped on board!
x-men 115 was a variant right?
Yes, that one is the quietly variant.
awesome video
Thanks! Glad I could help!
Nice list. But the way you slam those books is exactly why I don’t buy raw. Strictly graded. “Signed by McFarlane”... no certification?🤨
It's the reason you should use proper fitting bags and boards. You don't have to worry then. As long as your not throwing them across the room or buying trash protection. Buying strictly graded you're missing out on some gems.
Met Todd McFarlane, got books signed. No reason for certification, they are mine, I have the personal experience (and video proof), no plans on selling them.
love your to the pointness"
Thanks! I do try
Thanks for the information!👍
Anytime!!!
Comic Vantage I just started collecting again, and I appreciate your channel! Thanks Again👍
Do you have any website recommendations to get comics
eBay is my go to place for all back issues!
nice books 👍🏼
Thank you!
Don't forget amazing fantasy 15. Which you can get for under $15,000.
If you want a graded 2.0 or 1.0 you can get it for under 10k!!!!
Hey where do you even buy this stuff man?
eBay is my go to place!!
Thanks for that man! Hey you should do a comic collection vid if you haven’t already and if it’s not too much trouble for you
New to channel nice list
Welcome aboard and thanks!!
Nice video
Thank you!
How much is that rare cardboard, hand written logo variant going for ?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😅
It's way too rare to sell 😆
AWESOME VID
Thank you! I definitely try!
Comic Vantage the vid is super informational
As a broke college kid, I can really appreciate this list. Gonna read Letter 44, looks really interesting. Also gonna hunt for those Jim Lee books
Letter 44 is amazing! I can not say enough good things about it!
wow...you throw your books down too hard...that is a noob move
Not at all! I use snug, proper fitting, bags and boards. Those books don't move!!
Hey man! Stop bangin on your comics!!! Arghhh!!!
No. Refer to my latest comic haul video. Haul #33 😆
I will buy that Green Lantern #20 for $3USD.
Marcus for an ultra rare white board variant!!! 🤣
Got a new line for my phone vantage so review old videos👍
Awesome! That's going to be fun!
@Comic Vantage hey vantage are you doing any boxes right now I never bought a vantage box.
@@marcuschandler6931 I am planning a new run of boxes right now!
Those are some heavy hands you have!!
Yeah, I get that allot 😆
The first Drax was Iron Man #55
You are correct. I do know I need to make a correction. Was waiting for someone to catch that!!
Did I hear correctly? Marvel OWNS Angela outright?? I hope McFarlane learned a lot from this miserable experience!
They sure do. Was a forced thing when he couldn't settle with Neil Gaiman.
“Affordable keys” is an oxymoron. If it’s a real key, it’s expensive.
Not sure why you think that. There are tons of first appearances, which are considered keys, that are not very expensive.
You can get the first appearance of Lobo and Apocalypse for under 50$, hell under 30$ if you look hard enough. Those sound like keys to me. Darker image 1, under 10$, first Maxx, sounds like a key there. Youngblood #2, first Prophet, under 5$!!! Lots of examples!
you should have more subs
The CybeR Beast thank you! And I can't complain, they are coming in fast now!
Great top 10 oh 11 picks thanks for sharing laters,"the comic book villain"
Already putting together a part 2!!
Please stop hitting the table so annoying ...lol
No 😆
Comic Vantage hahahahah
Sub'd
Awesome, thanks!
He just talked about a cardboard for 4 minutes
That's not just any cardboard!!!
I agree with everything except the Mcfarlane trash. Spawn is a chractet made up of 3 separate Marvel character's. Plus the guy is not fan friendly.
Wow sorry to hear of you had a bad experience with him, I can relate with others I've met and weren't very happy with. But I have a quick video of when I met McFarlane. He was a very happy and friendly guy. I guess everyone just has bad days.
