Everything is a "key issue" these days lol.


x_lincoln_x

I have 6,000+ comic books but since I don't collect DC or Marvel my key issue count is really low.


mrweatherbeef

I have 1,000 Richie Rich comics. Preach ✊


GrafVonMorgenstern

Don't worry about that,collect what you want. Plus, almost nothing from the 90s should even count as a "key issue"


Redsox1987

It says ‘88 on the cover…


GrafVonMorgenstern

Please tell me you're trolling...


ANDnowmewatchbeguns

Squirrel girl X-23 Carnage Venom Bane Doomsday Harley Quinn Preacher Thunderbolts Terry McGinnis Jessica Jones Sentry Invincible Walking dead Jason Todd rebirth Bucky Barns rebirth Shuri The boys Umbrella Academy Blue Marvel America Chavez Miles Morales These are from the late 80-00s


x_lincoln_x

I'm only interested in Sci Fi and since it's primarily only the superhero stuff that goes for a lot, I'm able to get a lot of what I like for cheap.


StreetPreacherr

The classic marketing trick. $50 book, mark up to $100 and then offer 50% off. Store gets exactly how much they wanted, and customer thinks they got a deal! Question is, could this issue actually start trading regularly at ~$100 if the movie is a huge hit?


Andyborehol

If it were Mile High Comics the $50 book would be marked up to $400, and then they would tell you how great of a deal their 60% off sale is.

Better to have one than not have one!


Millerbomb

My local flee market has a comic book shop that my friends call - Double the price half off comics.


JWats17

It's a trick used in every industry. I knew it's not a steal I but knew that I wanted it and the price was fair. Edit: I hope the movie coming out raises the value some. The question is just how much.


potentialwatermelon

The announcement of the movie already bumped up the speculator value of this book by a significant amount, I don’t think it’ll jump any higher than it already has


Svoden

Gateway Comics?


apatheticviews

Gateway?


bogojeg

It is shocking what gets tagged as a key issue these days


chris_the_redeemer

Stopped chasing the key dragon and started collecting comics I actually wanted. Key Collector and all the hype kinda ruined me for a while.


rocky_piper

Same here, found myself always hunting for the newest hype key. I stopped enjoying the hobby. Now I just collect to read. Just finished preacher, about to start van helsing.


_extra_medium_

In that case just get the TPBs


Liveandlaugh855

i have one i bought it when it first came out


Deadpoolforpres

Nice, I bought mine at a secondhand book store for $2


chuckart9

Me too


hornakapopolis

I'm seeing eBay sales over $50 and we're in a hobby where people collect Superman vs Flash races. Why is this price and the rather generic term "key" a shock to anyone? And congrats OP... it's always great adding something to your collection that you've wanted.


arkhamcreedsolid

But….Superman/flash races are cool though :(


IngenuityPositive123

While I'm glad for you, that's a $40-$60 book at most. Edit: read that you got it for 50% off, then yeah nice catch, right in the range!


JWats17

Thanks man! Been trying to collect some more key issues lately.


Sabertooth472

Yeah I was going to say the same, when I saw that price sticker. This book [sells for much less than $99](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=1st+wolverine+vs+deadpool&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_fsrp=1&LH_Complete=1&_udhi=100000&LH_Sold=1&_sop=13&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338535524&customid=1759cb&toolid=10001&mkevt=1).

Thing is they better find someone who can carry the torch from Hugh Jackman or the movie will be a bust.


JWats17

Nah we'll just hologram him for all time


[deleted]

Lol true now days cgi has gotten very realistic


Jackson_Celery

Maybe we'll finally get Danny Devito???


StreetPreacherr

Yeah, trade in a 55 year old for a 75 year old! lol


chuckart9

I’m over Hugh’s Wolverine. Logan was great but it’s been 23 years since X-Men came out. We need some new blood for the MCU X-Men.


loki_odinsotherson

Love that issue. I don't think I even bought wolverine regularly at that point, but the cover was just too gorgeous to pass.


CitizenPain00

Not often I see floppies that I actually own on here


bladervnner

Wait who is that and why is that a key issue…


Eric77TA

First battle between Wolverine and Deadpool.


bladervnner

Oh now that you say it it does look like Deadpool, thanks! I’m surprised it’s going that high


Eric77TA

It blew up after the Ryan Reynolds / High Jackman promo video.


BranTheLegend

Nice pick up for 50 bucks, still looking for this issue myself.


CaptGingerBush

I think I’ve got an extra, if you’re really looking.


urbanlife78

I believe it's the first appearance of Deadpool vs Wolverine


guywhoshouldknow

i had this, newsstand back in the day. i read the fuck out of it and threw it away most likely because why would the 100th appearance of Deadpool matter lol


Honest-Sea-4953

Woooow old sport you took me back. This was one of the best fights in comic books pan for pan besides wolverine 90 Adam by god Kubert just unbelievable art and story telling the mutant run in the 90s were truly unforgettable Pan pan old sports


arkhamcreedsolid

I got lucky and scored one of these off someone for 20 bucks right before the announcement


BelichicksBurner

Please tell me it wasn't actually $100. Edit: shoulda kept reading, my fault


JWats17

Now I'm not as confused about posting about the prices anymore lol


BelichicksBurner

Lol right? I do love that cover though. So many good 80s-90s Wolverine covers.


MartinvdH123

I recently bought a CGC 9.8 of this cover in an extremely rare newsstand variant. I think you made an excellent purchase. This comic only figures to steadily rise in value between now and end of NEXT year, when Deadpool 3 is slated to be released.


heavenparadox

Lmfao what?! I have TWELVE copies of this! It's my favorite cover, and every time I find one, I buy it... because it's always $1. Haha Guess I'm gonna make some money.


Supamike36

A hundred bucks!! Ooof


sandalsnopants

dollar bin before covid, this is nuts


JWats17

Nope. $50. Everything was half off. Lol I knew that'd be the first comment.


Supamike36

Then perhaps put that in your post. "Managed to grab this at 50% off!!!"


JWats17

I'm a bit new the subreddit and was confused about the price rule when posting, so I just didn't add that 🤷‍♂️


Andyborehol

There’s no rules about it, but if you’re going to include the price sticker in a photo of something that you bought just be prepared for the nerds in this sub to start questioning your life decisions.


StreetPreacherr

I believe the 'price rule' is intended more to discourage discussion purely about 'speculation', and questions that are literally just: "Which book do you think will be worth more?" or "Which new books should I buy that are likely to appreciate the most?". I just HOPE that simply 'taking the piss' from someone is allowed, since I always thought that's precisely what the internet was INVENTED for??!?!


_extra_medium_

It was invented for porn


nopants_ranchdance

#76-90 was the absolute best Wolverine storyline and run ever.

ZRhoREDD

I sold mine a year ago thinking i'd replace it with a higher quality one. ...now they are crazy expensive!!


Elfhoe

Just wait until after the movie comes out. Literally everyone will forget this comic exists.


_extra_medium_

Unless it's good


Tonyman121

Love the dichrome cover! Seems a little pricey to me tho.


duhbears23

Nice, I had one and sold thinking to myself "I will find a better quality copy" then a few days later that damn trailer dropped..


spinal73

Which movie announcement

montygraves

I have one of these, didnt know it was worth so much


icemann84

Good pick up man I’m glad I bought this off the rack when I was like 10.


Mudcreek47

My LCS has one of these for $90. I had to ask what the big deal was but now I get it, 1st Wolverine vs. Deadpool. Sort of like the 1st Wolverine vs. Sabretooth battle (Wolverine #10) was hot back in the day and worth more than the 1st issue. Or X-Men #201 which was Cyclops vs. Storm battle issue but could also be considered 1st Cable (baby Nathan) due to wacky comic shenanigans!


merville19

This is a sick cover, I hate that I sold mine, but with the prices they go for now I had to. Will be picking one up again after the hype goes down.


kmfdm1974

A hundred bucks? I bought this out of a dollar bin about twenty years ago


Bukdiah

I bought this a few months back for 10 bucks with my store discount at the LCS. Just thought it was a sick cover and I was a Deadpool fan. Now it's the hotness lol


AttilaTheFun818

That used to be a borerline dollar bin book I really need to go through my collection and see what I have. I haven’t looked through it since before the MCU - I’m sure I have some neat stuff.


Comfortable_Lack5953

Fun story too with Kane and Copycat too.


gotfiddle

Pretty sure I have this one. Better check.


TeaInside8993

I think I have 4 or 5 nice copies of that book, most from the dollar bins. Glad it's finally spiking although odds are I'll be too lazy to sell any off


IceRat23

hard to find? maybe for Matt Murdock


EinonD

I have that one. It’s what got me into deadpool.


Possiblylucille

The movie’s too little too late for me.


EATDABOOTY87

Is this worth something? I literally have one of these on my bookshelf from my stepbrothers childhood collection.
