#2 WEST COAST AVENGERS #45 | MARVEL | 1989
It was recently announced that Paul Bettany will make his highly-anticipated return to the MCU in a Disney+ show, Vision Quest! That’s all we know so far, but it is enough to bring back the heat to WhiteVision’ss first appearance. We tracked 28 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 108%, with a high sale of $450 for a CGC 9.8 copy. FMV for a raw NM copy is $55.
#3 DEADPOOL #1 KEN LASHLEY THE HAUL NOTORIOUS B.I.G. | MARVEL | 2022
If you ever sought the first appearance of Notorious B.I.G. in a Marvel comic, this is it. This store exclusive went for double the retail value when it hit the third-party markets. We tracked 23 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 130%, with a high sale of $175 for a raw copy. An FMV for a raw NM copy is $69. Note: If you’re purchasing a copy, please keep in mind that copies are still available at The Haul. This leads us to believe it has a high print run. Buyers will most likely receive their copies at the same time, leading to a market flood and thereby dropping the market value. With that said, there’s some value in this as a long-term hold.
