The few copies that sold in 2020 were all record-breaking prices as well! Raw mid-grades sold for $500-600! Although prices have slowed in 2022 this book will continue climbing in price given the history and importance behind the creation of this issue as Larry Hama briliantly needed to recreate the wheel to meet a last minute deadline! Check out this YouTube video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClpaUTV3qrc Jayden notes: Low to mid grade copies have proven to be more easily found than once thought, and VF or worse copies are readily available for purchase. NM- and better copies, however are still not regularly showing up for sale! A raw VG+ CPV sold at CaptCanComics.ca on 6/24/2022 for $200 CAD Conan notes: Example variant sales at MyComicShop: a CGC 4.5 on 6/1/2021 for $127, a raw 3.0 on 8/13/2020 for $130, a raw 3.5 on 10/29/2020 for $198 Doug notes: HUGE DEMAND and Very Low Supply.

2		Amazing Spider-Man #238 Marvel, 3/1983	$0.75	$750 ▲ $65	285
	1st Appearance of Hobgoblin; Came with Tattooz Angelo notes: Rumors are still circulating that the Hobgoblin will be coming to the big screen so it's only a matter of time. In February of 2022 a 9.6 CGC sold for $2052; July a 8.5 sold for $595; July an CGC 4.0 sold for $325. In September 2021 a 9.0 CGC sold for $847, June an 8.0 CGC sold for $600 and an 8.5 CGC SS sold in May for $1017. In 2020 the following grades sold for breakout prices: 4.0 CGC for $160 in October; 5.0 CGC for $335 in July; 9.2 CGC for $800 in March; 9.8 CGC in March sold for $4650 becoming the highest amount paid for any CPV on a public auction only to have this price shatterered once agian a few months later in November when a second copy sells in another public auction for $7800. This has become a must have book for the serious C.P.V. collector and/or investor. Jayden notes: A CGC 8.0 CPV sold at CaptCanComics.ca on 6/30/2022 for $800 CAD Ben notes: Classic cover contender. Conan notes: Example variant sales at MyComicShop: a CGC 8.5 on 10/17/2022 for $500 (buy it now), a CGC 9.6 on 2/21/2022 for $2050 (buy it now), a raw 5.0 (no tattooz) on 12/24/2020 for $112, a raw 8.0 on 2/15/2021 for $420, a raw 2.0 on 3/20/2020 for $80, a CGC 8.5 on 12/26/2019 for $350 Jon notes: CGC updated their labeling treatment this year; please see this article for more details and for my previous advisor note. Paul notes: 75¢ variants of this issue did indeed come with Tattooz included (Overstreet's in-guide note is incorrect). A VF- Amazing Spider-Man #238 variant sold at PNJ Comics for $160 in 2018 CGC label note: 1st appearance of the Hobgoblin. Manufactured with "Tattooz" insert & sample. 75¢ cover price.
3		Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #320 Archie, Oct-82	$0.75	$680 ▼ $15	57
	1st Appearance Of Cheryl Blossom Angelo notes: In 2022: Sept. 9.6 CGC sold $1452;Sept 9.0 CGC sold $501; June 6.0 CGC sold $195. In 2021 a 9.0 CGC sold in February for $469, an 8.0 CGC sold in March for $348, a 5.5 CGC sold in March for $200. In June 2020 a 9.4 CGC sold for $1465 and a 5.5 CGC in October 2019 for $200. First appearance of Cheryl Blossom! This mega key Price Variant is really tough to find in higher grades and scarcely comes up for sale. Very early CPV Cheryl Blossom appearances are great investments. Ben notes: Note that Archie only introduced direct editions much later, so for earlier Archie issues like this one there was only newsstand distribution and thus two total types (the two different cover priced newsstand versions) instead of three; one thing this difference means is that the percentage of total copies that are the CPV is much higher when compared to Marvel/DC CPVs. Doug notes: 1st appearance of CHERYL BLOSSOM in Dare to be Bare = 5 page-s; CGC label note: 1st appearance of Cheryl Blossom. 75¢ cover price.
4		Saga of the Swamp Thing #37 DC, 6/1985	$0.95	$600 ▲ $50	46
	1st Appearance of John Constantine Angelo notes: This book has been on everyone's radar for good reason and so has the price. It's now confirmed that Keanu Reeves will be starring as Constantine in the sequel movie! In October of 2021 a 9.0 CGC sold for $689, in August an 8.0 with no page quality specified on the CGC label sold for $379.58. In 2020 the price for this issue has been everywhere: 9.0 CGC sold for $356 in April, 9.2 CGC sold for $550 in October , 9.6 sold in January for $600, a second copy in 9.6 CGC sold in the spring for $300. I believe the latter prices were soft and ocurred prior to rumors hitting the street that Constantine is coming to the small and big screen. Lets not forget a 5.5 CGC sold for $300 in 2019. A CGC 9.6 variant sold in 2018 for $750. Doug notes: First FULL appearance of JOHN CONSTANTINE aka HELLBLAZER; ALAN MOORE Story; CGC label note: 1st full appearance of John Constantine. 95¢ cover price.
5		Batman #423 DC, 9/1988	$1.00	$505 ▲ $195	37
	Todd McFarlane cover Angelo notes: In August 2022 a 7.0 CGC sold for $273; February a 5.0 CGC sold for $450. An 8.5 CGC sold in April 2021 for $333. A 9.6 CGC sold for $600 in 2020 and a 9.4 CGC sold the same year for $349. A raw VF+ sold for $229 in 2019. A 9.6 CGC sold for $640 in November 2019. This being a McFarlane cover and the last CPV issue in the title makes it particularly desirable. Jayden notes: McFarlane cover, very scarce last issue in CPV. Tough Black Back Cover. This cover keeps getting redone over and over and people still love it! Hulk 340, ASM 300, SM1 Don't have Canadians. This is THE top McFarlane CPV and the McFarlane crowd is willing to pay up for high grade copies. A CGC 9.2 CPV sold at CaptCanComics.ca on 9/17/2022 for $2,000 CAD Ben notes: Classic cover contender by Todd McFarlane. Doug notes: LAST Canadian Price Variant in Title; Classic Todd McFARLANE Cover Art; Jim STARLIN story; CGC label note: $1.00 cover price.
6		Blip #1 Marvel, 2/1983	$1.25	$500 ▲ $215	12
	1st Appearances of Donkey Kong and Mario; Video game magazine in comic-book format Angelo notes: In 2021 two low grade raw copies sold between $200 to $300, and a CGC 6.0 sold for $284. In my opinion, a book that is investment-worthy with more upside potential. Jayden notes: Video Game related speculation is growing, and so is the sales volume of these keys - but the Canadians are STILL never showing up for sale. High grade value is currently hypothetical! Ben notes: Something that really strikes me about the Blip series is that it is the only instance I am aware of among CPVs where there exist both dual-price newsstand copies *and* single-price newsstand copies (the CPVs) (here's pictures of what I mean). Doug notes: FIRST Comic Book appearance of MARIO BROS (in 6 Page Story); FIRST Comic Book appearance of DONKEY KONG (in same 6 Page Story); TV Star Matthew Laborteaux PHOTO cover; Video Games of the Stars; Atari 2600 & other early Video Games; Missile Command, Centipede, Pitfall, Arcadia-2001, Dig Dug; Steve Grant story; Bob Camp art; LOWER PRINT RUN and Scarcer Bronze Age Marvel Comics & Video Game Collectible item; CPV is Scarce in High Grade Doug notes: CPV is Scarce in High Grade CGC label note: Matthew Laborteaux photo cover. 1st comic book appearance of Mario & Donkey Kong.
7		Star Wars #68 Marvel, 2/1983	$0.75	$340 ▼ $10	90
	1st Appearance of Fenn Shysa Angelo notes: In May of 2022 a 9.2 CGC sold for $398. In March of 2021 a 9.8 CGC sold for $5282, a 9.6 CGC sold for $2623 , 9.4 CGC sold for $550, 9.2 CGC sold for $757 and in July an 8.0 CGC sold for $317. In 2020, two copies in 9.8 CGC sold for $1000 and $1510 compared to $600 in 2019. Yellow cover makes it easier to see every fault. Jayden notes: A raw VF/NM CPV sold at CaptCanComics.ca on 7/11/2022 for $275 CAD Conan notes: Example variant sales at MyComicShop: a raw 2.5 on 1/14/2020 for $45, a raw 6.5 on 4/27/2020 for $65, a CGC 9.0 on 8/21/2020 for $117, a CGC 9.8 on 7/23/2020 for $650 Doug notes: ORIGIN and Re-Introduction of BOBA FETT classic cover & Story; CGC label note: 75¢ cover price.
8		Amazing Spider-Man #252 Marvel, 5/1984	$0.75	$325 ▲ $60	596
	1st Appearance of the black costume; Amazing Fantasy 15 cover homage Angelo notes: In 2022: 9.8 CGC sold in July for $3960; 9.6 CGC in June sold $846; in summer three 9.2's CGC sold for $300,$330 & $375; three copies in 9.0 sold for $288,$260 & $266; 7.0 CGC in May for $150; 5.5 CGC in August for $137;4.0 CGC in Feb for $98. In March of 2021 a 9.8 sold for $3816, in May a 9.8 CGC sold for $3360; a SS in 9.8 CGC sold for $4600 (August); a 9.6 CGC for $1200 (May), an 8.5 CGC ow/w for $204.39 (August), in October a 5.0 CGC sold for $102.89. Other grades have also experienced break-out prices lighting a fire under this book. In 2020 the following grades sold for: 9.0 CGC S.S. Lee for $426 in March; 9.4 CGC S.S. Lee in August for $740; 9.8 CGC in October for $1800. Along with Marvel Team-up #141, Spectacular #90 and Secret Wars #8 this book is a must have for the Spider-man collector/investor interested in the black suit which eventually becomes Venom. Jayden notes: Example recent ASM #252 CPV sales at CaptCanComics.ca: a CGC 9.2 sold on 6/30/2022 for $500 CAD, a raw VF/NM sold on 6/7/2022 for $375 CAD, a raw VF+ sold on 5/31/2022 for $350 CAD and a raw VF sold on 4/1/2022 for $350 CAD. Ben notes: Whenever new-to-CPVs collectors ask me for my opinion on which CPV to collect first, ASM 252 is my answer and here's why. As an "event" comic that received immediate collector interest, it is likely that many collectors may have not been able to load up at their local comic shop with as many copies as they wanted, and thus headed to the newsstands to add additional copies. As a result we see an extraordinarily high number of CGC census copies of both the variant (relative to other CPVs) and the "regular" types for this particular issue. This means a new CPV collector will find it much easier / less frustrating to actually find a suitable CPV copy for their collection making it a great first CPV target. Bill notes: A CGC 9.8 variant sold for $1,282 in October 2018; back in December 2017 a CGC 9.8 variant sold for $1,000; a VG/FN variant sold for $107.58 in August 2018 Conan notes: Example variant sales at MyComicShop: a raw VG 4.0 on 5/10/2022 for $155 (buy it now), a raw FN- 5.5 on 5/9/2022 for $119 (buy it now), a raw VF 8.0 on 5/5/2022 for $210 (buy it now), a CGC 9.0 on 11/30/2021 for $300 (buy it now), a raw 2.0 on 8/23/2021 for $72, a raw 2.5 on 1/28/2021 for $85, a CGC 7.0 on 7/8/2021 for $135, a raw 2.5 on 12/31/2019 for $35, a raw 6.0 on 6/6/2019 for $48, a raw 5.0 on 6/16/2020 for $61, a raw 6.0 on 6/16/2020 for $63, a CGC 8.5 on 5/7/2019 for $86, a raw 8.0 on 12/30/2019 for $98, a CGC 9.2 on 11/19/2019 for $106, a raw 8.0 on 9/21/2020 for $195, a CGC 9.4 on 11/20/2020 for $280, a CGC 9.4 on 5/13/2019 for $300 Paul notes: Example ASM #252 variant sales at PNJ Comics: Two CGC 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man #252 variants sold for $3,995 on 4/5/2022, a CGC 9.6 variant sold for $846 on 6/29/2022, an NM+ variant sold for $250.00 on 3/7/2018, an NM variant sold for $215 in 2018, and a raw VG/FN variant sold for $80 in 2020.

10		Transformers #1 Marvel, 9/1984	$1.00	$300 ▼ $60	147
	1st Appearance of Transformers Angelo notes: A movie was confirmed so any dip on this book might be a great buy. In 2021: 9.6 CGC in April $1203, 9.4 CGC in August $795, 9.2 CGC in January $315, 8.5 CBCS in August $231, 5.5 CGC in March $155. Every CPV collector should have a copy of this book given the importance of this issue.

12		Jughead #325 Archie, Oct-82	$0.75	$275	14
	2nd Appearance Of Cheryl Blossom Angelo notes: Second appearance of Cheryl Blossom. This issue came out the same month as Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #320. A key book that needs more attention! Very early CPV's of Cheryl Blossom appearances definitely need a price hike given the difficulty finding high graded copies. Doug notes: SECOND appearance of CHERYL BLOSSOM in Barely Friendly = 6 page-s; First appearance of CHERYL BLOSSOM in this Title; Same Month as Betty & Veronica #320; Jason Blossom app; RARE due to HIGH demand; Very Undervalued as compared to B&V#320; Paul notes: A CGC 6.0 variant sold at PNJ Comics for $115 in 2020. CGC label note: 2nd appearance of Cheryl Blossom.
13		Amazing Spider-Man Annual #16 Marvel, 12/1982	$1.25	$230 ▼ $20	121
	1st Appearance of Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau); Origin of Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) Angelo notes: This book has been on fire with speculation, easter eggs!

14		Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures Mini Series #1 (CPV Newsstand Edition) Archie, Aug-88	$1.25	$222 ▼ $123	302
	1st Appearances of Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady in comics. Newsstand AND Direct Variant CPV exist Angelo notes: Not one but THREE first comic book appearances; Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady! Prices in 2022 have softened making this book a great buy in higher grades. Prices in 2020 and 2021 have gone up for many grades. In 2021: 9.6 CGC NEWSSTAND copy sold in January for $1250, an 8.5 CGC NEWSSTAND copy sold in March for $400. Ben notes: This entry is for the $1.25 NEWSSTAND CPV. It is such an interesting circumstance that in addition to the single-price NEWSSTAND copies, Archie also produced single-price DIRECT EDITION copies of this issue as well (in other words, rather than placing both $1.00 and $1.25 CAN on all direct editions, they produced two distinct batches, a $1.00 direct edition and a $1.25 direct edition). Please note that at the time our 2023 guide was assembled, CGC still "lumped together" both types by cover price on their census, making it impossible to know how many of their census copies are newsstand versus direct (so the CGC count number you see is inclusive of BOTH types and just gives the $1.25 cover price census count for the issue number at large), but we understand that in connection with their announcement to recognize newsstand comics on their labels, that CGC intends to track the numbers separately by type going forward. Also, see my separate two-part post on this issue: Part I & Part II Doug notes: 8/1988; FIRST appearance of BEBOP and ROCK STEADY in Comics; Adapts TV Cartoons; FIRST Printing; Canadian Newsstand VARIANT Edition with Single original Cover Price of $1.25, with UPC barcode; CGC label note: 1st comic book appearance of Krang, Bebop & Rocksteady. $1.25 cover price.
15		ThunderCats #1 Star, 12/1985	$0.75	$200	97
	Based on the animated television series Angelo notes: News is out that a Thundercats animated movie is in the making. Prices in 2022 have stayed strong and also increased across many grades. In 2021 a 9.8 CGC sold in March for $2100, a 9.6 CGC sold for $695 in April and an 8.5 CGC sold in March for $239. Ben notes: Beware of logos; my full note can be found here ».

16		Thor #337 Marvel, 11/1983	$0.75	$195 ▼ $30	591
	1st Appearance Beta Ray Bill; 1st Simonson Thor Angelo notes: In 2022 this book has cooled off across almost all grades due to a lack of official news that of Beta Ray will appear on the big screen. When an announcement is made prices will shoot up once again. In 2021 many grades have shattered record prices: 9.8 CGC September $4,301;9.8 CGC August $2880; 9.8 CGC July $3480; 9.8 CGC July $3120; 9.8 CGC June $3360; in October a 9.8 CGC with ow/w pages sold for $2,328 at a buy-it-now price shortly after getting posted for sale; in November a 9.8 CGC sold for $2040. A 9.6 CGC in May sold for $626 and another in September for $472.69, 9.4 CGC July $345, 9.0 CGC July $295, 8.0 CGC July $182. Jayden notes: Example recent Thor #337 CPV sales at CaptCanComics.ca: a CGC 9.8 sold on 7/15/2022 for $1,875 CAD, a CGC 9.0 sold on 4/29/2022 for $300 CAD, and a raw NM- sold on 6/10/2022 for $300 CAD. Ben notes: Classic cover contender by Walter Simonson. Another great example of an "event" comic that received immediate collector interest, making it likely that many collectors may have not been able to load up at their local comic shop with as many copies as they wanted, and thus headed to the newsstands to add additional copies. As a result we see an extraordinarily high number of CGC census copies of both the variant (relative to other CPVs) and the "regular" types for this particular issue. This means a new CPV collector will find it much easier / less frustrating to actually find a suitable CPV copy for their collection making it a great target among "what to collect first" among CPVs (also see ASM 252).

	1st Appearances of Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady in comics. Newsstand AND Direct Variant CPV exist Angelo notes: Not one but THREE first comic book appearances; Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady!In 2022 prices have ranged between $500-1000. In 2021: a 9.8 CGC DIRECT EDITION sold in February for $1965 and a second copy for $1610, two DIRECT EDITION copies in 9.6 CGC sold in February $623 and $610, 9.4 CGC DIRECT EDITION sold in February for $325. A 9.8 CBCS DIRECT EDITION sold in November 2020 for $1875 on a public auction. Ben notes: This entry is for the $1.25 DIRECT EDITION CPV. It is such an interesting circumstance that in addition to the single-price NEWSSTAND copies, Archie also produced single-price DIRECT EDITION copies of this issue as well (in other words, rather than placing both $1.00 and $1.25 CAN on all direct editions, they produced two distinct batches, a $1.00 direct edition and a $1.25 direct edition). Please note that at the time our 2023 guide was assembled, CGC still "lumped together" both types by cover price on their census, making it impossible to know how many of their census copies are newsstand versus direct (so the CGC count number you see is inclusive of BOTH types and just gives the $1.25 cover price census count for the issue number at large), but we understand that in connection with their announcement to recognize newsstand comics on their labels, that CGC intends to track the numbers separately by type going forward. Also, see my separate two-part post on this issue: Part I & Part II

	Ben notes: Final issue, and extremely hard to find as the CPV. As mentioned in my note for #1, this whole series has the fascinating circumstance of having regular newsstand copies in existence with BOTH $1.00 US AND $1.25 CAN prices on them, raising the question of what purpose the CPV then served (and how widely was it distributed)? For this final issue, interestingly, the $1.25 price is repeated twice on the CPV ($1.25, CAN $1.25). Anybody trying to research sales comps for the CPV of this issue will have an exceedingly difficult time; I saw none whatsoever. However, I did find a "regular" newsstand copy advertised in VF condition having sold for $49.95 in September 2021. Thus, I'd expect a NM- CPV newsstand copy to be able to find interest at a considerably higher ask.

	Newsstand AND Direct Variant CPV exist Angelo notes: This Number 1 of an ongoing series. In 2022 prices have come down which makes it a great buying opportunity. In April of 2021 a 9.4 CGC NEWSSTAND copy sold for $170. This issue still has lots of room to grow as an investment. Ben notes: This entry is for the $1.25 NEWSSTAND CPV. Please note that at the time our 2023 guide was assembled, CGC still "lumped together" both types by cover price on their census, making it impossible to know how many of their census copies are newsstand versus direct (so the CGC count number you see is inclusive of BOTH types and just gives the $1.25 cover price census count for the issue number at large), but we understand that in connection with their announcement to recognize newsstand comics on their labels, that CGC intends to track the numbers separately by type going forward.
