Hey everybody! It's Drew from CoMo Comic
Books and thank you for joining us on
our YouTube channel once again this week.
We're gonna mix it up a little bit this
week and do something we haven't done
before, so I hope you all like it. Stay
tuned for our Top Ten Comics to buy on a
$100 budget. See ya in a second.
Welcome back everybody! My name is Drew Stuart and if we're just meeting, I am
the owner of CoMo Comic Books. We are a
Columbia, Missouri based comic book
vendor. You can find us at comic
conventions and shows all around the
region selling comic books, toys, all
sorts of good stuff. We'll get right into
it today. This is something we haven't
done before, so I hope you all like it. A
lot of things going on right now and one
of the few things you can do while
you're stuck at home is you can shop
eBay you can get on different comic book
vendors or retailers websites and shop
for comics the markets still hot there's
a lot of books that are worth chasing
down and what we're gonna give you today
is just a small sample of books that if
you have $100 that's burning a hole in
your pocket and you want to put all of
that money towards one single book we're
gonna give you ten options for that a
piece of advice that I give is if you're
looking to invest in a comic book no
matter what that book is look at your
budget and determine what the highest
grade copy of that book is that you can
afford and what that's gonna do is if
you are purely looking at the book as an
investment the higher grade copy of the
book you get the more likely it is to
increase at a larger percentage compared
to a lower grade copy of the book if you
can only afford low grade copies of
certain like mega Keys mega keys are
still mega Keys but in general a key
issue if you can invest in a very fine
copy or better you're gonna see a
greater return especially if you're
getting into the book earlier than the
majority of the market so the
overarching caveat all of this is when
you're trying to invest in a book make
sure that you're buying a very fine copy
or better if you're able to with that in
mind the books that were going to be
talking about today are going to be
books that you can get a very fine or
higher grade copy for $100 or less to
explain how we came up with the list
we're looking at comics that are
essentially priced from $75 to $100 for a
very fine or higher copy there are going
to be a ton of books out there you
in various grades that are gonna fall
into this hundred dollar category but
for the purposes of this video we're
focusing on books that between 75 and
$100 you can get a very fine so an 8.0
or higher grade copy so with all that
let's get into our list the first book
on our list is Avengers annual 10 now
this book has been hot and cold over the
years with Fox being purchased by Disney
there's a lot of anticipation
surrounding the x-men being incorporated
into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and
one of the characters that kind of has
one of the easiest paths into the Marvel
Cinematic Universe the MCU is rogue her
long established history with Captain
Marvel so for that reason right now you
can get a pretty solid copy of Avengers
annual 10 for $100 or less and I think
that's a smart buy right now it's a book
that has been a solid performer over the
long term I think it's gonna be a great
book to pursue in the short term if you
don't already have it because sooner or
later you know you're gonna see rope
pull into the MCU and that book is just
gonna continue to appreciate and the
good thing about it is there are a lot
of really collectible copies of it out
there you may even be able to find a
particularly nice copy at a good price
the next book on our list is Thor 337
the first appearance of beta ray bill
Thor is another one of the MCU
characters that is continuing on post
the Infinity Saga so he's getting out
into space running around with the
guardians of the galaxy and there have
been some Easter eggs you know thrown
into the MCU up to this point regarding
beta ray bill but the further Thor's
storyline progresses the more likely it
is that sooner or later we're gonna
encounter beta ray bill 4337 has been
hot for a little while now it looks like
the prices may be coming down that
initial rush that started sometime last
summer seems to kind of be simmering
down just a shade so right now looks
like a pretty good time to seek out that
book our next entry is she-hulk number
one this book has been on a steady climb
for several years now I remember buying
these out of boxes it shows 4 6 & 7
dollars a piece and it just keeps going
higher and higher it's to the point
where now finding a really nice copy for
around $100 may give you a bit of a fit
so keep your eyes open there are still a
whole lot of copies of this book
available if you don't have it yet seek
out she-hulk number one the first
appearance of seal and put that one in
your collection next up is a book that I
think is just a slam-dunk
there's very little risk on this book
and that is amazing spider-man 361 the
first appearance of carnage the venom
sequel is already in production amazing
spider-man 361 is one of those rare 90s
books that actually carries its weight
you know it's one of the few books that
was published in that era that has had
and continues to have some significant
value to it with carnage being confirmed
for the next venom movie of the
characters general fan base
carnage has since his inception been a
very popular character the price on this
book has actually come down a little bit
it was running more like a hundred and
fifteen hundred and twenty-five dollars
for high-grade copies right now it's
kind of turned down just the shade right
now would be a great time to go after
that book next up
Sandman number one the first appearance
of dream or Morpheus from the vertigo
line Sandman is a classic in comic books
the story is amazing if you haven't read
it I recommend picking up the trades and
reading it but due to the the love there
is in the community for this story it is
something you hear being talked about
fairly regularly as far as being
developed into TV or movies and it looks
like now we've actually got a decent
foothold and that production is ongoing
on a Sandman story and with that
interest in sand
number one has taken off but it still
fits in our category you can still find
a really nice copy of Sandman number one
from vertigo for that hundred dollar
mark if you do not have Sandman number
one now is the time to start looking for
that because once the series hits I
think it's safe to say that you're gonna
see the value of that book continue to
rise gonna mix it up on you a little bit
now our next book is actually a magazine
and that is deadly hands of kung fu
number 19 which is the first appearance
of the white tiger along with the first
appearance to the white tiger it has my
absolute favorite cover from the deadly
hands of kung fu magazine series just an
awesome iron fist cover so you know if
you're a cover collector this one should
really appeal to you that said with
Shanxi and development hopefully we'll
see Iron Fist come back around the kung
fu' universe of Marvel seems to be a
direction that is prime for development
right now and white tiger is one of
those essential characters deadly hands
of kung fu 19 the Marvel Magazine is a
book I would be actively searching for
right now
and again you should be able to find a
really nice copy for right around $100
next on the list is a Todd McFarlane
classic Incredible Hulk 340 features a
great Wolverine versus the Hulk battle
and it's also one of Todd McFarlane's
most memorable covers definitely the
most memorable from his Incredible Hulk
run this book is more of a slow burn in
my opinion I don't think it's gonna be a
book you're gonna see that it's gonna
take off and just gain value by leaps
and bounds I feel like it is a safe
steady bet that due to the classic
nature of the cover the desirability of
it it is a book that as as it ages and
becomes slightly harder to pick up year
after year it's a book that you continue
to see the value creep up by five ten
dollars fairly steadily if not annually
then every other year you can usually
see that book move up just a little bit
more
so if you're looking to increase your
incredible whole collection I would
start with issue 340 next on our list is
DC Comics presents number 47 which is
the first appearance of he-man in comic
books so we've all seen the toys that
made us and we know the story behind
he-man and the comic books that came
with the figures part of that all was
getting the character out into DC Comics
and that came to fruition in DC Comics
presents number 47 there's a lot of
interest in this property right now
you've got Kevin Smith developing a new
cartoon I think you're gonna see this
book continue to climb it's not a
particularly easy book to find just in
general
DC Comics presents wasn't a book that
was in you know 85% of people's pull
list back in the day like amazing
spider-man or x-men or Detective Comics
something like that it's not as readily
available as you're digging through
boxes you can walk through most show
floors and you'll find a copy on
somebody's wall you may just not have
the variety to choose from if you really
want to dial in and get one that is a
specific grade it presents in a certain
way with that in mind I would begin
looking for DC Comics presents 47 if
you're a he-man fan next up we've got
uncanny x-men 141 this like Incredible
Hulk 340 falls in the classic cover
category not only is this a classic
cover the storyline of Days of Future
past is one of the greatest x-men
stories ever told and the cover on this
book is just legendary it can be hard to
find in really high grade due to some of
the the dark colors around the edges
it's notorious for spine pops but
thankfully x-men was in such high demand
back in the day these things are
everywhere despite the fact that they're
everywhere it's still gonna cost you the
better part of a hundred dollars to get
a particularly nice copy of this book
with that in mind it's still a book that
is increased very steadily over the last
several years I remember five years ago
I was selling this book for 5060 dollars
maybe 75 dollars it was a particularly
nice copy
so it has appreciated a fair amount
last few years so if you're an x-men fan
make sure you've got uncanny x-men 141
on your list last book on our list is
daredevil 131 the first appearance of
bullseye this is a book that has come
back down some after bullseye was
included in the last season of the
daredevil show when a person thinks that
daredevil they think of two bad guys
you've got the kingpin and you've got
bullseye bullseye being Daredevils
primary nemesis one of the key bad
actors in Frank Miller's daredevil run
up to and including the death of Elektra
makes this book highly sought after it
is a blue chip from The Late Bronze Age
so if you're a daredevil fan be sure to
keep your eyes out for daredevil 131 as
you're out there walking the floor of
your next show if you enjoyed the
