Marvel Comics formed an integral part of many of our childhoods … the basis for games, fantasies, and many hours of reading and enjoyment. Like all items with a lot of widespread nostalgic appeal or rarity, Marvel Legends Comics can fetch quite a bit on the world's new collectibles marketplace, eBay! Today we're looking at the returns you could expect for some awesome collection pieces from the Marvel Comics range -- both the books themselves, and the associated Marvel Superheroes action figures and merchandise.
1. King Size Marvel Collector's Item Classics, $250,000
Yikes! This is a first edition from 1965, hence the enormous price tag. I'm not so sure about the sale prospects, however. The seller is from Hawaii and has a zero feedback. He doesn't leave much of a description, and states that they have many more in store. eBay will cover the purchase price with their buyer protection program, as stated on the item listing. But I'd just much rather buy this action figures guide from someone with feedback…
2. Total 35,000 Marvel Comics, $39,500
This seller obviously doesn’t have the itme or inclination to split up their bulk comic lot (of over 35,000) to sell them individually … though why they are choosing not to is beyond me, since they say the top retail figure is $280,000 for the lot. Even if it took a year to sell them all, wouldn’t it be well worth it … ? There are plenty of first editions in here, though.
3. Total 200,000 Marvel Comics, $25,000
From the same seller as above, it seems there are fewer number ones in this collection, and the comics themselves are the less sought after ones. A pretty good deal if you have contacts in the comic collection 'industry'!
4. Spiderman Dynamic Forces Diorama Statue, $1000
That price tag is not as impressive as the hundreds of thousands being asked for some of the first edition comics and action figures guides - but considering that this was bought at retail prices in 2003, and is simply a rare item, it makes quite a good investment!
This standard style Marvel Superhero statue is the sort of thing that can be bought for ordinary retail prices, kept for a few years, and see a solid return on investment.
