5 Comic Book Keys I am Investing in RIGHT NOW!!! Silver Age Marvel

In this video I talk about the TOP 5 Comics I would buy if I were starting a collection. Imagine only owning 5 comic books and these comics were the comics. You would have a pretty cool eye catching collection in my opinion. These books can be expensive, but if you come up with a plan on how to save up for these you can achieve them. I really hope you enjoy this video an make sure to share the link with your friends as this is a very limited time offer.
Foundational Comic Books is a phrase I came up with to describe Universally Recognizable Key Issues. These are comics books that will increase the overall appeal and value of your collection on a broad basis. Obviously you want to collect what you like, but there are a lot of influential people that will tell you to buy 'Hot Books of the week'. Those comic books are fine, but they might not be recognizable to everyone or increase the value of your collection long term. Be weary when it comes to anyone telling you what you should buy.

I must have edited out where I talk about Thor 126! Oh no. Sorry about that.

FF 48 and 49 are classic books! They were already very popular even before the MCU started. But now that the FF are coming to the MCU, those books may reach another level of popularity because even non-comic book fans may start recognizing those characters if the movie does well. FF 50 is also a great book in my opinion with a nice cover and the first appearance of Wyatt Wingfoot. I think that collecting lower grade books is a good alternative for most collectors. The important things for me personally are whether the book presents well and how much I enjoy owning the book.

Love those FF books! Although more prolific I prefer 48 as an investment. I have both and love 49

FF 48 is a milestone, always been a classic

I remember seeing in wizard magazine as a kid and thinking that it was the peak of comic book collecting.

Why is Thor 126 in the background ? Did you change your mind about it being a foundational book? I believe Thor 126 IS a foundational book. It's the 1st self titled book and it has a classic battle cover from Kirby.

I’ve been taking care of a friend of the family’s house and pets (while they are away) for years. And for the last five years he’s let mice run wild through out the house. I just lately discovered three boxes in the basement that have silver and Bronze Age comics one box is half full and wide open to whatever. How do I tell him h needs to protect those comics before something terrible happens like mice making nests out of them or even the house burning down, because the mice are chewing through the electrical wires ? His poor dogs are chewing their own paws from stress I believe. What a shame 😢

Interesting to look at lower grade silver keys, a lot of us (myself included) tend to be grade snobs, but the lower grades are more liquid over time as more collectors can afford them, as opposed to a $10k 9.2+ of a book.

What a travesty that movie was for Modok. They did a Spider-Slayer and called it Modok.

I bought Fantastic Four 45 and 48 when I was a kid. They were collectable then, but I doubt I spent more than $30.00 for either. They haven't been graded yet, but are in great shape and should get no lower than a 8.0. FF48 has a chance of making it to 9.0 or a little higher. I have other early FF, including #72 which is probably my favorite cover art at least from my collection.
