11. VENOM #28 – ARTHUR ADAMS (1:25)
The most recent Venom run has it all. Symbiote team-ups, Venom, and Toxin throwing down, some interdimensional travel, and more. Add a sick 1:25 Arthur Adams variant to the mix, and the aftermarket picks up! Fans love the depiction of Venom in all his ferocity. Anytime the community gets a book like this, they typically move well. We tracked 21 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 134%, with a high sale of $45 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $27.
12. WOLVERINE #1
Deadpool and Wolverine books have been trending for months since we got our first iota of information regarding Deadpool 3. That kicked up last week when Ryan Reynolds started feeding into the leaks/ set photos that have plagued Deadpool 3. This book has popped up numerous times, marking the debut of Wolverine’s first solo series and the Patch persona. It’s also more affordable for the average collector and an easy book to add to the PC. We tracked 32 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 131%, with a high sale of $299.96 for a CGC 9.6 copy and a raw NM FMV of $67.
13. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN VOL.1 #265 – DIRECT
The last time this book was trending was due to the rumor Christopher Abbott would be playing The Foreigner in the upcoming KRAVEN movie. The studio still hasn’t confirmed it, but essentially, the trailer confirmed it with a brief shot of him. The Foreigner was married to Silver Sable, who first appeared in this book, and it’s rumored the family of Silver Sable will have conflict with Kraven’s. That makes it plausible and enough for the aftermarket to take a second look at this book. We tracked 11 copies sold this week, at a 7-day trend of 198%, and had a high sale of $293.74 for a CGC 9.8 and a current NM raw FMV of $30.
14. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN VOL.1 #194
The Black Cat has taken center stage numerous times recently, whether it be her most recent run or appearing in variant covers that have collectors scrambling. On top of that, she has a highly coveted first appearance in this book. Key Spider-Man issues like this always sell well, and if there is a conversation surrounding her most recent books, there is typically a keener eye on this one. We tracked ten copies sold at a 7-day trend of 207%, with a high sale of $720 for a CGC 9.6 and a current raw FMV of $308.
15. THE UNCANNY X-MEN VOL.1 #221
We are less than a month away from X-Men ‘97 hitting Disney+! Fans are excited for the return, with an eager fanbase anticipating the appearance of Mr. Sinister. He’s a foil for the X-Men and a fan favorite, so any depiction is met with happiness and an eagerness to open the wallet. As we grow closer, his first appearance in this book has seen increased movement in preparation for his debut. We tracked 20 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 95%, with a high sale of $275 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a raw NM FMV of $40.
16. WEB OF SPIDER-MAN VOL.1 #1
Despite being nominated for seven awards at this year’s Game of the Year awards, Sony’s Spider-Man 2 didn’t secure a single win. Still, it’s bringing in new players every day who get to experience one of the main plot points of the game. Issues featuring the Black Suit have seen increased movement since the game was released. It’s been all over the headlines, and naturally, fans opted to take another look at this book featuring a stunning depiction of Spider-Man rocking the Black Suit. Compared with other Black Suit keys, this book is affordable and plentiful, and it checks all the boxes. We tracked 11 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 174%, with a high sale of $159 for a CGC 9.8 copy with a raw NM FMV of $27.
17. THE UNCANNY X-MEN VOL.1 #211
This book features the first appearance of The Mauraders, Mr. Sinister’s personal team. It consists of Arclight, Riptide, Vertigo, Harpoon, Scalphunter, and Scrambler, most of which make their debut in this book. With X-Men 97′ right around the corner, there is heavy speculation we may get this squad in addition to Mr. Sinister. We tracked ten copies sold at a 7-day trend of 188%, with a high sale of $115 for a CGC 9.8 and a current raw NM FMV of $22.
18. SPIDER-MAN 2099 VOL.1 #1
Spider-Man 2099 has been on an upswing for what feels like a decade at this point. That aftermarket movement has cemented this book as a great wall book that won’t kill the wallet. It has a first appearance debate surrounding it and ASM #365 and is a must-have for fans of the character. It’s slowly becoming a mainstay on this list! We tracked 20 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 78%, with a high sale of $150 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a raw NM FMV of $14.
19. WOLVERINE #10
This book is noted as the first battle between Sabretooth and Wolverine, sharing the title with X-Men #212. However, it is much cheaper and easier to attain in higher grades, often leading collectors to park their money in this book. On top of that, it has a classic cover. With the set leaks featuring the return of Sabretooth in Deadpool 3, fans are eager to see a Wolverine and Sabretooth rematch on the big screen. Hence, we tracked 14 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 109%, with a high sale of $225 for a CGC 9.8 and a current raw NM FMV of $26.
20. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #67 – NATHALIE FOURDRAINE – COVER RI (1:10)
Occasionally, we see the most recent Sonic variant pop up on our list. Sonic has a massive fanbase, propelling this series into lasting 67 issues and beyond. So, when one of the limited variants drops, the fans typically snag it up. It’s not a heavily stocked book for most LCS, and they typically don’t order ten copies to receive the variant. However, this Nathalie Fourdraine 1:10 has caught the eye of collectors! We tracked 20 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 74% with a high sale of $19.99 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $12.
