Since Covrprice.com came on the scene, they have become a go to spot for watching eBaytrends on comics. They scour thousands of eBay sales to cultivate data to spotlight the hottest selling comics. Here is this week’s Top Ten Comics: (Please note, potential spoilers do follow, and, these results are for auction that closed last week. )
#1 UNDONE BY BLOOD #1 (AFTERSHOCK, 2020) As we already mentioned, Aftershock Comic is getting a TV deal with Norman Reedus production company, bigbadbald production which helped this first issue to take the #1 spot this week. It sold 35 copies, had a 7-day trend of 569% and had a high sale of $29.99 for a raw copy.
#2 X-MEN #12 (MARVEL, 2020) This issue, which features the first appearance of The Summoners, Isca the Unbeaten, the White Sword and the first cover appearance of THE HIGH EXECUTIONER sold 50 copies, had a 7-day trend of 242% and had a high sale of $19.99 for a raw copy.
#3 AMAZING FANTASY #1 (MARVEL, 2004) Ditto. This first appearance of Araña sold 49 copies, had a 7-day trend of 200% and had a high sale of $239.99 for a CGC 9.8.
#4 AVENGERS #8 (MARVEL, 1964) Speculation is spreading that KANG THE CONQUEROR may be the potential villain for ANT-MAN 3. That gave a very nice boost in sales for Kang’s first appearance in AVENGERS #8 (1964). Now, Kang has a VERY complicated history and several various takes. For now, collectors are sticking with his first. It sold 29 copies, had a 7-day trend of 321% and had a high sale of $1,499 for a CGC 7.5.
#5 UNDONE BY BLOOD #1 ROBINSON VARIANT (AFTERSHOCK, 2020) It was announced this week that this Aftershock comic is getting a TV deal with Norman Reedus production company, bigbadbald productions. With this news, this variant disappeared from eBay after selling 12 copies, had a 7-day trend of 500% and had a high sale of $64.99 for a raw copy.
#6 ARAÑA THE HEART OF THE SPIDER #1 (MARVEL, 2005) With the UNCONFIRMED rumors that Araña (Anya Corazon) will be the SPIDER-WOMAN in Olivia Wilde’s secret Spider-Woman project at Sony, collectors quickly escalated the market values for her first appearance in AMAZING FANTASY #1 (2004). As we’ve seen in this market, collectors quickly move on to the next key appearance, giving spike to her first solo series. It sold 24 copies, had a 7-day trend of 261% and had a high sale of $22.50 for a raw copy. The variant hit a huge high of $112.50 for a NM raw.
#7 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #365 (MARVEL, 1992) The first appearance of Spider-Man 2099 is starting to pick-up. Both sales and prices are increasing. Granted, the recent Newsstand 9.8 sale of $1,225 definitely had a hand in lighting this fire. It sold 36 copies, had a 7-day trend of 146% and had a high sale of $224.50 for a CGC 9.8.
#8 BATMAN #99 JORGE JIMENEZ NIGHTWING 1:25 VARIANT (DC, 2020) These design variants are surprisingly popular. Usually after the first few variants, some fatigue sets in. However, these continue to sell well. It sold 57 copies, had a 7-day trend of 65% and had a high sale of $39.99 for a raw copy.
#9 MILES MORALES SPIDER-MAN #6 (MARVEL, 2019) This is considered the first full appearance of STARLING, the Vulture’s Granddaughter. Now, there’s plenty of debate with this or issue #5 owning the “first appearance” title. At the end of issue #5, she has a big splash page with dialogue that includes her STARLING name. This closely mirrors the age-old HULK 181 v. 180 where Wolverine has the same appearance at the end of 180. Regardless, she’s hot right now and the market is favoring issue #6. It sold 19 copies, had a 7-day trend of 157% and had a high sale of $200 for a CGC 9.8.
#10 STRANGE ACADEMY #1 (MARVEL, 2020) This series is still trending in the aftermarket, despite recent price dips. It sold 29 copies, had a 7-day trend of 100% and had a high sale of $208 for a CGC 9.8.
“ Now, there’s plenty of debate with this or issue #5 owning the “first appearance” title.”
Really? She appears in issue 5. With this fact there can be no debate!
You know people love the first full first cameo argument.
Just that she is on the cover of #6 and throughout the whole issue. #5 will always carry some heat but not as much.
