Investment Potential and Analysis of X-Men 150 to 376 and FF 150 to 200 Assorted Issues

Investment Potential and Analysis of X-Men 150 to 376 and FF 150 to 200 Assorted Issues

The first Table presents the Bias Score for all the issues. Bias scores show which issues are being bought by the Insiders (Pros) vs. the Outsiders (Fans Less Serious). The concept of my approach is to focus on the issues being bought BULLISHLY by the investors.

We developed an analysis of data to quantify this Bias (B Score). We mark the issues with the highest Bias with Lime Green followed by a Dark Green staining for issues with a lesser but definite Bias. 

Table 2 data deals with another data stream on comic-book issues. This run’s issues are looked at 3 grades 9.4, 8 and 6. The changes in bias between the different grades are calculated and the SLN numbers were born. The SLN numbers look into each “world” of the I vs. O bias data.  This data has shown historically to be the most liberal and establishes the investment potential across the grades of 9.4, 8 and 6. Very quickly, the green stained are positive issues and red stained issues are a negative and invite a non-focus in only investments

We then compare those SLN numbers and generate a difference number we call the DF. Finally add the I and O SLN numbers together (total) and determine the %DF number for each issue. Green staining is good (Higher Bias) and Grey and Red are issues that are not good for an investment focus. This data stream is more liberal in the rigor and you get the best case for an issue,

The deepest level of analysis we developed is the ADF number (average difference between the I/O worlds) of each issue at each grade. I denote a high I Bias with the orange $.

Lime green stained issues are rated I Biased in all grades or at least 9.4 and 8. Dark green stained issues are only biased at the 9.4 grade while the other grades are overbought relative to the professional investor’s desires.

Table 3 is the stricter data stream and highlights both the issue and grade. We calculate the average difference (ADF) in Issue Bias between the Insider and Outsiders groups.  Lime Green are issues that are I Biased at least 9.4 and 8 grades (High Bias). (Orange $). The dark green issues are support with a Bias in 9.4 grade only. The other issues are to be avoided.

Table 4 is the Score Card information for each issue at the 3 data streams. This allows a top down view across the data streams. We denote the issues supported in all three data streams with a Lime Green staining. Dark Green has only 2 data streams support and yellow issues are supported in one data stream only. 

Table 5 is the last bit of data, the Scaled Desire Ranking. I have grouped 1356 issues of comics that I have covered and developed scaled desire rankings. The percentile that an issue occupies gets wonderful insight into true value between titles. So we position our title and its key issues in context. A score of 99 means that comic issue is desired at the highest level while 1 percentile is the lowest desired issue.

Table 1 B Scores of these issues.

Not a lot of interest here using this data stream. Issues FF 150,151 and 166 have some "juice" and they might be gotten fairly cheap.

Table 2 DF% and SLN Data

This data is the least stringent and brings out the best case for all the issues. Therefore its rare that issues outside this list are issues to focus on.

Lime green issues are FF 151 and 166 also saw some support from the Bias Scores. Others include issues 167, Xmen 162, 171, and 244 are also showing some support here.

Table 3 ADF of these issues

This data stream is the most detailed and focuses on the insider Biased issues and the grades to focus on.

FF 167 is a major one in these issues (Hulk vs Thing). It is supported at 8.0 and up.  X men 266 is also highly supported by these data. It is the first appearance of gambit.

Table 4 Score of these Issues

FF 150 is the only issue support in all 3 data streams. FF 151, 166 and 167 are also supported by 2 of our data streams. Avoid the issues in red.

Table 5A and B Desire Scale

This is confusing as FF 166 is desired in the 80% bur 167 is in the 10% level. Maybe a buying opportunity on 167? The Issues of 150 to 153 are also of interest.

X- men 244, 266 and 171 are supported well but the rest of the issues are not.
