There are quite a few copies floating around at high grades, especially in the 9.8 area. Unlike many high demand silver age books, in which mid to low grades are still investment worthy, these copper age selections on my list are best to invest in at high grades. I'm advising no lower than low NM or 9.2 according to CGC universal standards.
So, without further a due, here are just a few of my top copper age comics to invest in:
- G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #21 (1st Storm Shadow/Silent issue).
- G.I Joe A Real American Hero #26 & 27 ( Snake Eyes origin, 2 part story).
- G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #150 through #155 (Low Print run. Issue 155 is last issue).
- Amazing Spider-Man #299 (1st brief appearance of Venom. Todd McFarlane art.)
- Amazing Spider-Man #300 (1st full appearance of Venom. Todd McFarlane art.)
- Marvel, The Transformers, 1984 #1 (1st Transformers comic based off Hasbro Toys.)
- New Mutants Vol 1 #98 (1st appearance of Deadpool).
- Uncanny X-Men #221 (1st appearance of Cable as baby Nathan.)
- Uncanny X-Men #244 (1st appearance of Jubilee.)
- Uncanny X-Men #248 (1st Jim Lee artwork on X-Men.)
All the issues here are in demand, and ones like the last five issues of G.I. Joe A Real American Hero by Marvel Comics have low print runs. That means that they're pretty scarce and some hunting for those issues at a high grade may be needed.
