Re: Hidden Gems
The Star Wars books from Marvel are doing quite nicely. The first and second Vader runs, Dr Aphra, and Kanan the Last Padawan all have some decent returns. The Kanan run is especially sweet because I found all those in the quarter/dollar bins. I’m missing issue 11, but have the others.

Re: Hidden Gems
Sunovabitch, Kanan #1 is $70?
These cartoon characters might start paying off...

Re: Hidden Gems
Star Wars Tales #13 (2002) - the (not really) first appearance of Grogu.
Currently $35.
All because of one panel, a full decade before Lucas sold to Disney, and 17 years before Grogu appeared onscreen.

Re: Hidden Gems
Also, possible steal you might be able to find in the recent back issues:
Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories #10 - the first comic appearance of The Bad Batch. Still around cover price.

Found it!Diabolical wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 9:05 pm Not really sure it's a hidden gem, but according to comicbookrealm, this is worth $715.00.
Ahsoka's first comic appearance.
I'm pretty sure I have it. I just need to find it.

Re: Hidden Gems
Not really "hidden," but I'm guessing X-Men Vol. 2 #25 is worth a fuckton more today than it was on Tuesday.

I am missing Harley’s first appearance in the Harley Quinn OGN. It’s pricey.

That's at $70, so not too bad.

Re: Hidden Gems
In light of the SDCC reveal, some Doom related books are taking off.
Infamous Iron Man 1 is shooting up.
So is a What If oneshot from 2011 called Iron Man:Demon in an Armor.
The recent Cantwell series’ first issue is still at an acquirable $12.
Also, Deadpool’s daughter Ellie is taking over as the new DP. Her first appearance in DP #31 from Duggan’s run(it was an Original Sin tie in) is moving up, but still not exorbitant.
Uncanny X-Men 251 is getting a lot of attention, but that one was already a gem because of the iconic cover.

Re: Hidden Gems
If you have a copy of Alf #48, you've got a couple hundred bucks.
Why?
It was recalled because it looked like Alf was fucking a seal on the cover.

Re: Hidden Gems
Was it actually recalled? I thought that was an urban legend.
