11. X-Men Vol.1 #24
One of the major storylines from the recent X-Men 97′ has been the love triangle between Rogue, Gambit, and Magneto. Gambit and Rogue have been shipped together (that’s slang for “paired together”) since the 90s; this book represents that for many collectors. With the infringement on their connection thanks to Magneto, the fanbase has something new to argue over and new hills to die on. Some wanted to do so with this book in hand! We tracked 18 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 15%, with a high sale of $86 for a CGC 9.6 copy and a current raw VF FMV of $14.
12. Wolverine #1
It’s a shame it took 6+ years for Wolverine to get his first ongoing series, but here we are. This run was a beloved peak behind the curtain, delivering a storyline that further fleshed out the character despite his slice-and-dice persona. It’s what the wider fanbase needed to stay interested in the character, not letting him be relegated to one trick pony. While much easier to get than Hulk #181 and WOLVERINE #1, it’s trickier to secure in higher grade thanks to that black cover. It’s also the first appearance of the Patch persona, something eagle-eyed fans are eager to see in the upcoming Deadpool 3. We tracked 23 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 11%, with a high sale of $65 for an NM raw copy and an NM FMV of $58.
13. War Of The Realms: New Agents Of Atlas #1 – Billy Tan – Regular
We first heard rumors of an Agents of Atlas adaptation back in 2020. Obviously, that still hasn’t come to fruition. But the groundwork is undoubtedly being laid. With the success of X-Men 97′ sentiment toward Marvel has marginally shifted from “Over it” to “Marvel is back!” However, the underlying success the series is experiencing is important. The animation avenue is a wholly untapped market for Marvel. X-Men 97′ is proving they can do it and do it well. The avenue to seeing this series featuring a dynamic Asian roster is becoming clearer, and the aftermarket is taking notice. We tracked 14 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 24%, with a high sale of $26 for an NM raw copy and an NM FMV of $19.
14. Wolverine Vol.1 #1
“I’m the best there is at what I do.” BAM. The fanbase is hooked for the long haul. For many, that line was all it took to reel them in and keep hold ever since. Wolverine is currently having a heyday, whether he’s slinging one-liners in X-Men 97′, slicing Sabretooth in his current ongoing series, OR preparing to clash with Deadpool on the big screen. He’s a fan favorite and was introduced to an army of fans in this very issue. Outside of Hulk #181, it’s a grail for Wolverine fans everywhere. We tracked 14 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 19%, with a high sale of $160 for a VF raw copy and a current NM FMV of $147.
15. Ultimate Black Panther #1 – Stefano Caselli – Regular
The Ultimates hype train is FINALLY slowing down, with market trends moving toward sustainability instead of sheer upward trajectory. Fans still love this new iteration of the Ultimate Universe and Black Panther. It will take some time to flesh the universe out and give fans a reason to return to issue #1 en masse like they did when it dropped. A debut of a villain, side character, or exemplary storyline could see this book rocketing back up. For now, fans are taking a collective breath. We tracked 32 copies sold at a 7-day trend of 24%, with a high sale of $36 for NM raw copy and a current NM FMV of $28.
16. Ultimate Spider-Man #1 – Marco Checchetto – Regular
Seeing this book on this side of our weekly market analysis is almost surreal. It’s been in the Top Ten since it debuted and is finally slowing down. While fans are drawn to new releases, this book is still trading hands at a good clip, as usual. But, we are now seeing the roof of the market, as fewer buyers are willing to pay such a steep price. Copies will continue to trade hands, but we may see a trend to more sustainable levels. We tracked 48 copies sold at a 7-day trend of 9%, with a high sale of $123 for an NM raw copy and a current NM raw FMV of $98.
17. The Uncanny X-Men Vol.1 #256
Seeing Morph, well, Morph into Psylocke to help take down X-Cutioer in X-Men 97′ was quite epic. This book features the debut of the new Psylocke, sporting a similar appearance to her depiction in the series. The fanbase caught a glimpse, which led to the potential for another appearance down the line. Fans visited the aftermarket to secure a copy in the chance that comes to pass. We tracked 16 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 26%, with a high sale of $129 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current raw VF FMV of $11.
18. The Uncanny X-Men Vol.1 #282
The last time this book popped up on our list, the rumor had just started circulating that he may appear in X-Men 97′. Well, those rumors are true, and he played a significant part in the series’ return. The first appearance of Bishop has always been a low-level key, but with a whole new fanbase experiencing the character, there is a whole new demographic of fans looking to secure a copy. We tracked 20 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 16%, with a high sale of $75 for a CGC 9.6 copy and a raw NM FMV of $9.
19. The Uncanny X-Men Vol.1 #244
The original X-Men animated series made Jubilee a household name. It’s been no different with X-Men 97′, though she’s no longer the newbie on the block and is receiving some much-needed development. Her first appearance in this book has seen a nice market revitalization with the strong fanfare for the series. We tracked 19 copies sold at a 7-day trend of 12%, with a high sale of $35 for a raw VF copy and a current raw NM FMV of $36.
20. The Amazing Spider-Man Vol.1 #300 – Direct
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #300 | MARVEL | 1988 This book is never far from this list. It’s a staple in the hobby and an essential book for major Spider-Man collectors. The origin of the Black Suit is a key pivot point for Spider-Man and Venom, two of Marvel’s biggest draws. It continues to dominate the aftermarket! We tracked 16 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 8%, with a high sale of $850 for a CGC 9.4 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $535.
