Awhile ago, I received a package of comics that I'd bought off eBay and the seller had actually used as part of the filler/stuffing/padding of the box, a copy of Stormwatch #0 and Gen13 #1. Both issues were folded up and inserted into the sides of the box. I just had to giggle over that (not to mention also getting these as free comics) So if you're willing to use certain comics/issues as package stuffing, to me that suggests what you think of their real value. And yet I actually paid money AND shipping for a copy of Stormwatch #0 only a decade ago because it gets referenced during the Warren Ellis run. One man's trash... |

Some of my comics are so obscure that they're priceless. In this case, I think that makes them more worthless than the other stuff. No matter how common and overprinted it is, there's still someone out there who will pay 50 cents for a Youngblood #1. Is there truly anyone out there who needs a copy of Ape Nation #1?  I mean, I know Planet of the Apes fanatics. Even they wouldn't know what to do with this thing. How bad should I feel for wanting this? As you may have guessed from the obscure comic thread, I love strange stuff like this. And I kind of want this now. lol |

Ahh well, I trust in your opinion. And did that thing cost $5.95? Ouch! |

Ahh well, I trust in your opinion. And did that thing cost $5.95? Ouch! That was the special collectors edition version. There was a regular cover that sold for less. If you really want to know what happens, I reviewed the whole thing. Ape Nation #1Ape Nation #2Ape Nation #3Ape Nation #4It is not an exaggeration for me to state that the writer, Charles Marshall, is hands down the worst comic book writer I've ever encountered. |

I was thinking of the 90's X-Men #1 with 5 covers... just by shear print volume.

My vote is for whatever comics you mention so far, but instead of #1, issue #2 of that same series/run. People will give a #1 of a series a chance perhaps. If it's number 2, they will search for #1 first.

X-Force #1, from 1991. Worthless in monetary terms because there are so many of the damn things, and worthless in every other way because it's badly written, badly drawn crap.

Pretty much any 90's Marvel comic.
