Since Covrprice.com came bagged 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. )
#10 DEADPOOL BLACK, WHITE AND BLOOD #4 DAN PANOSIAN (1:25) | MARVEL | 2021
The 1:25 variants for this Deadpool series appear to be significantly under-ordered. They’ve been challenging to find in-store and have escalated in market value with the high demand and low supply on sites like eBay. Dan Panosian’s fun 1:25 variant is no different and, add in, Comicsheatingup had the spoilers for this one showing the first appearance of Sakura Spider which drove up demand, helped moved 17 copies with a 7-day trend of 175%, and had a high sale of $125 for a raw copy.
#9 MOON KNIGHT #3 WALMART VARIANT | MARVEL | 2021
The new batch of Walmart packs includes this exclusive red variant of Moon Knight #3. Featuring the first full appearance of Moon Knight’s new adversary Hunter’s Moon, this red version of the cover is in high demand and sold 51 copies with a 7-day trend of 74%, and had a high sale of $31 for a raw copy.
#8 CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND MI:13 #1 | MARVEL | 2008
Staying away from spoilers, due to a post-credit scene in the ETERNALS, copies of this book went flying off eBay with speculation that the MI:13 could be introduced into the MCU. Again, this is pure guesswork, but it still sold 15 copies with a 7-day trend of 258% and had a high sale of $28 for a raw copy.
#7 ETERNALS #1 | MARVEL | 1976
Thanks to the film’s 2nd weekend, there was still a significant surge of sales of Eternals #1 this week with 64 copies sold, a 7-day trend of 78%, and a high sale of $1,850 for a CGC 9.8.
#6 THE THING #1 LEE BERMEJO VARIANT | MARVEL | 2021
Collectors jumped all over this great Lee Bermejo “B” variant. This week, it made the list with 23 copies sold, a 7-day trend of 220%, a high sale of $22 for an NM+ raw copy, and a FMV of $15.
#5 AVENGERS #6 | MARVEL | 2010
Speculation for BLACK PANTHER 2 was in full effect last week as loose rumors of T’Challa & Storm’s son, Azari T’Challa, swirled around him, possibly appearing in the next film. His first full appearance in this issue sold 37 copies and had a 7-day trend of 146%, with a high sale of $250 for a CGC 9.8.
#4 AVENGERS #62 | MARVEL | 1969
Along with Azari’s first appearance, many various sites and Youtube channels have recirculated the possibility of M” Baku taking on the mantle of Black Panther in BLACK PANTHER 2. This first appearance of M’Baku sold 29 copies, had a 7-day trend of 203%, and had a high sale of $695 for a CGC 8.0. Sales are also still robust for Shuri’s first appearance, as the market favors her to take the mantle. Which one will it be? Could it also be neither or possibly both? We’ll have to wait and see.
#3 AVENGERS #1 | MARVEL | 2010
Along with issue #6’s first full appearance of Azari, his first cameo appearance had the most traction, with many early buyers thinking that this was his first full. It sold 34 copies, had a 7-day trend of 188%, and had a high sale of $144.95 for a CGC 9.8
#2 X-MEN ADVENTURES #1 | MARVEL | 1992
During Disney Day last week, it was revealed that a new “X-men 97” animated TV series for Disney+ will premiere in 2023. This nostalgic and beloved series sent fans rushing to this first comic book version of X-Men 97 in this 1992 X-Men Adventures series. If you recall, this landed on our Top 10 list almost a year ago when the X-Men 97 avatars were included on Disney+, and many speculated that a new series could be in the works. Well, it was correct. This week, 53 copies sold with a 7-day trend of 139% and had a high sale of $400 for a CGC 9.8. However, most notable was a newsstand copy selling for a massive new high of $800 for a 9.8.
#1 STRANGE ACADEMY #13 ARTHUR ADAMS | MARVEL | 2021
We’re big Arthur Adams fans, and it looks like plenty of other collectors are as well. This Magik headshot cover was one of the most sought-after books last week and quickly disappeared from shelves. 43 copies sold and had a 7-day trend of 524%, which had a high sale of $40 for a raw copy. Due to so many copies listed, the current FMV is $27.
What I think helps avengers #1 is that it has incentives, where #6 does not.
Avengers #6 is not the 1st full Azari. Issue #1 is. Atleast chronologically.
Issue 6 basically shows us what happened just before the next avengers appear after that looks like the death of Dr. Strange.
He’ll they even use identical panels to issue #1.
