I'm not too surprised that people are starting to Value manga more! Not only because of its unique storytelling, but people are realizing that it has made waves in the media and pop culture in general! As someone who's been collecting manga since the early days of Viz, Eclipse and Dark Horse, I highly recommend collecting well-known and established characters first appearances printed in the American comic book! These include, but are not limited to Ranma 1/2, Ghost in the Shell, Bio Boosted Armor Guyver, Bastard!!!, Oh My Goddess!, Dragon Ball Z, and Shonen Jumps earlier US printed issues from the early 2000s! Many of these I still own, but I think they're worth some incredible value if you start investing now!🎉

Blade of the Immortal All day long

[@LimitedInfinity9]

My opinion is quite the opposite. Manga (and anime for that matter) popularity doesn't tend to last very long over time. I can almost guarantee you not many manga/anime fans today even know a single title you listed exists (aside from dragon ball) much less care about any. And the same could be said of manga/anime fans from the early 2000's! How many fans then knew or even cared about Speed Racer, Battle of the Planets, Astro Boy, or Gigantor? I do agree however that what was put out by Dark Horse, eclipse, etc is great and fun to collect (my recommendations would be Outlanders, Gunsmith Cats, and Blade of the Immortal)! But I just don't see them being worth "investing" in aside from pure personal enjoyment.

[@LowellLucasJr.]

@@LimitedInfinity9 trust me I understand how you feel as manga has tended to go up and down over the years however, a lot of his popularity has been grossing pretty high as of late. Don't get me wrong, not a lot of people would invest in Star Blazers, or other classics like we would! Hell, the manga Marvel published by the famed illustrators ( Xmen/ Spiderman. even Kia Asaiyama did Xmen and the Hentai artist 'The Fool' did a few Wolverine covers!), or my personal favorite, Crying Freeman by ViZ, are lost to time. Even DC Published many mangas, as well as Japanese Batman stories which has a few published editions, that no one talks about. I didn't want to go into too much detail with other notable titles such as Gunsmith Cats/ Cannon God Exaxxion by Kenichi Sonada, but I do agree only the fans will truly appreciate them. Even mainstream recommends like Akira's color editions, are rare and not commonly hunted for. Personally, I just wanted to recommend some other titles that few comic channels will never cover, but also the fans know to try to hold on to their favorites it could be worth something in the future. That said I do love me some Battle of the Planets, AKA G force, AKA Eagle Riders and Gatchaman: the science action ninja team- which sadly never got a US comic adaptation outside of Topcow/Image. Also do love me some blade of the immortal!

[@nfb4027]

@@LimitedInfinity9 WTF are you on about..There are plenty of Ghost in the Shell Fans (enough to justify making a hollywood film...) and many others - evangelion, dragonball, Studio Ghibli etc etc. that have endured over time. If the popularity of Manga titles doesn't endure why is Dark Horse publishing Hardcovers now of Blade of the Immortal, Berserk, and Hellsing...These are all titles that started in the 90s and it's now 2024... And frankly investing in what you find personal enjoyment in is - actual investment. Buying what you think will go up in value because of what has previously seen price increases - is speculation. And at that point you might as well just buy stock.

[@BartAllen]

@@LimitedInfinity9 *The first character appearances are in the Japanese manga, where it began; and were later reprinted in English ~ A lot of the old original manga is quite possibly as rare as some Golden Age comics (or even rarer) due to the Japanese mentality of reading comics/manga being different to that of their American counterparts: read and dispose ~ The first appearance of Goku - which is Weekly Shonen Jump #51 (1984) - sold for around $5k during the last quarter of last year, and the first chapter Ghost in the Shell sold for around $3k this month ~*

Hulk 180 for sure

[@DavidClark-vu3dw]

The guy who sold the Xmen #130 cgc 9.8 for $1500 just threw it out there oblivious of the market at this time. There was a $1900 sale a few days before, also a buy it now.

[@artboston4787]

A 9.8 copy of House of Secrets #92 sold last Thursday for $84k. Should that have been mentioned?

[@louismalinak5563]

They filmed this before that.

[@seanwelch71]

Most of these #1 have always been bangers, no matter the year. Star Wars, GI Joe, Wolverine, each are very collectible. Outside of completing Dazzler's X-Men appearances, and her first dozen solo ppearances, there isn't a lot to read. Sidebar of snark: The fault for this lies with Chris Claremont who dropped her Uncanny X-Men story, and didn't pick up her thread again for years. Then, the man conspired to create the most unreadable era of X-Men , with M. Silvestri's awful depictions of the women on the team. Rogue, suddenly, was four inches taller, with twenty years of additional hair. She tells Storm about her villainous past, "I was crazy..." so weak. Storm lost the most. She lost her leadership brains at this point, too, by instantly trusting Rogue, hereafter. Her hair was suddenly ass-length like Rogue's hair, and she was now the same height, meaning she'd shrunk. Try reading the All-New, All Different X-Factor. The stupid designs and uncollectible art continued there.

Hulk 180

[@chrisg2100]

One Punch Man is a great investment for the future

[@dukecomicart]

I just heard you say you are making Star Wars Variants. There is a huge void of Star Wars Blank Variants as us Sketch Cover artists eat that up! We need more Blank Variants of Star Wars.

[@wayneweidman1543]

I think 180 is the first appearance. 181 is first cover appearance.

[@bachtuwork]

You know it to be true so why say it? Someone “collectors” invented this BS. You look at Crow, it’s fap has been changed from caliber to dead world presents as a cameo, and then crow is first titled publication which sells for more than both FAP of Crow. It is some Houdini trick to make collectors look better or worse if you don’t catch em all then what type of collector are you? You just buy the book you like and personally that’s Crow 1 and that’s probably universal evident by the number of reprints.

[@wayneweidman1543]

@@bachtuwork I said it because he asked.

[@cstyledog]

Hulk #180 - 1st Wolverine……only because I have a copy and I don’t own #181 yet. 😂🤷🏽‍♂️

[@dandelatorre1870]

Hulk 180 first appeared in issue 180, Marvel said so.

[@stormshadowctf]

181...always has been. Nuff said.

[@pillar81]

I just haven’t been an active manga consumer for quite a while. Most of my reading material is comics. Even the dreaded Marvel and DC.

[@tonyp6516]

in my opinion Hulk 180 is 1st. Would like to hear your thoughts on the black suit Spiderman 1st appearance.

[@donaldvonglitchenberger4108]

thank god wolverine 1 is no longer on the list

[@lifegood3322]

So glad my inner cheap bastard won out during the "boom" 😂 Now I just buy if a book is close to 2018-19 prices and only if I wanted it anyway! Great show guys!🎉

[@jerome6578]

I hope they make a comic version of berserk

[@LetTheWrite1inn]

Recently came across a detached cover giant size x-men for 700

[@stormshadowctf]

If godzillas so hot, why isnt it increasing in value on key collector? 65 bucks for a high grade on it currently.

[@mrdigit3353]

the xmen run run featuring cockrum and byrne should be in everyones collection,...classic stuff i think will go up over time,....quality will sell. and if ms swift is in the movie, so much the better what character could travis play....

[@nfb4027]

OG Dark Horse Manga like Ghost in the Shell, Blade of the Immortal, Akira etc are the only relevant manga titles I would care about as they were in comic form - look nice in a CGC Case on a wall - and were the gate way drug to all of manga's success in the US.

[@themeanster]

Come on Gem, How can I take your advice? From a guy that thought giant ass collectible statues was a good investment 😜

[@christopherwilliams2385]

Dazzler has always been popular. It's just that simple.

Cannonballs girlfriend's music was better than Dazzlers. 😊

[@georgegmoney8334]

I have a ton of high grade key comics that I haven't sent in to cgc to be graded. Hulk 180, hulk 340, asm 252, asm 300 and alot more. After the cgc scam I'm not sure I want to send them in unless they update the slabs. Is there anything from cgc saying that they are going to do that?

[@matrix_comix]

None of those books are rare. Your books will be fine.

[@stormshadowctf]

X-men is about to blow up

[@danielmarquez4935]

Comment 🚀🚀🚀 yeah but do you guys realize how many books there are in raw form?!!!! This market is super manipulated and speculative

[@RobertWeir]

That was one of the most ridiculous statements, gem mint, made at the end that I may have ever heard .. “ a book that was not affected by the tampering scams? So you can be confident buying it?” that’s just pure ignorance, talking you honestly think none of those copies have been messed with? Haha sorry to tell you Jemm Mint but all books have been compromised

[@matrix_comix]

@@GravelRacer1 sounds terrible 🤮

[@RobertWeir]

@@matrix_comix the point is the only way to tell if a slab has been tampered with is to physically inspect it.. ALL of them are potentially compromised . I prefer raw Comics myself, but for this guy to act like “oh CGC just said “these” are the ones that are tampered with” as truth is dangerous misinformation to “the community” .

[@GravelRacer1]

@RobertWeir True, all cases are now suspect as I'm sure all the attention has inspired copy cat re-slabers. I think raw comics display better.

[@BartAllen]

*Well I wouldn't bother with the English manga, as they're essentially glorified reprints ~ The Japanese variety are the first editions, and usually with small print-runs; a lot aren't around due to the Japanese nature of reading and then throwing them away (or recycling them), due to the size of Manga and the space available in Japan ~*

[@nfb4027]

@@BartAllen Your post is dumb as rocks. No wonder you're subbed to some conservative twins channel that talk about their wives doing porn. Manga is published in huge thick volumes in Japan often times with other works. They're not something western collectors are going to be able to CGC or even want on their walls if the covers are not of the Manga title they follow. Further the Manga that's being talked about here is the early Dark Horse/Marvel nostalgia trip of western releases that will appeal to millennials that popularized Manga in the west to begin with - so yes they will want the thing they grew up reading. JFC sit down.
