Specualtion and Investment More Money Comics - Potential of Marvel/DC Comic Books

Investment Potential and Analysis of Iron Man 57 to 77 Issues T he 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 acros...

Investment Potential and Analysis of Marvel Feature Issues 1 to 12 The first table presents the Bias Scores 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. We see the main issue is issue 1 the first appearance of the Defenders but two story Arcs preceded the Defenders. They were the first ARC in  Doctor Strange  #183 (Nov. 1969),  Sub-Mariner  #22 (Feb. 1970),  The Incredible Hulk  #126 (April 1970)  and the second Arc found in  Sub-mariner #34 and 35. These ARCs are thought to be the beginnings for the Defenders! Issue 1 has a Good B Score...

Amazingly Secret Approach Using an Incredibly Novel Data Analysis Procedure for Comic Book Investing and Speculation.  I remind you that this blog will be focus on the Investment Potential of Various Issues that I highlight. I suggest you go back to read my post on investment procedures. Price Points are as critical as what issues to focus on. Ok, I have subjected the Marvel Team Up issues 1 to 25 to my analysis. I have developed these data streams; Bias Scores, SLN Numbers, ADFs, Score Cards and Desire Scores. I have hopes that these streams lead to the issues to focus on. Table 1 represents the B Scores of the Issues of Marvel Team Up 1 to 25. The highest Insider Biased Issues are stained with Lime Green and the Issues somewhat biased are stained Dark Green. So in Table 1 MTU Issue 1 is stained lime green and its B Score of 224 is by far the outstanding issue with a I Bias. The next dark green stained issues of 4, 10, 22 and 23 have a Bias Score of 36 to 12 in a range. So 2...

Amazingly Secret Approach Using an Incredibly Novel Data Analysis Procedure for Comic Book Investing and Speculation.  Ghost Rider _ (Bronze Age) As seen in Table 1, I outline the Bias Scores for the first 11 issues. Quickly my B Score number quantifies and looks at the difference in desirability between Insider (serious collectors/investors) vs Outsiders (everyone else). High I Biased issues are stained in Lime Green and somewhat I Biased issues in Dark Green. We have here only 3 issues for our investment focus, Issue 1, 5 and 6. Clearly Issue 1 is the main focus and shows that the movies have not had a great effect on the other issues. Note that the negative number would suggest overbuying by the Outsider groups. These title is a weak one for serious investment. Table 1 B Score of Ghost Rider Vol 2 Issues 1 to 11.   Table 2 represents the SLN number for each issue in Ghost Rider. This number focuses on the internal dynamics of the 2 worlds the I and O universes. T...

Amazingly Secret Approach Using an Incredibly Novel Data Analysis Procedure for Comic Book Investing and Speculation.  Analysis of the Defenders (Bronze Age) Issues #1 to 19 Table 1 represents the Bias Score analysis of the defenders series. Note the analysis is fairly short in that Issues 1 and 17 are Strongly Bias while Issue 8 is biased somewhat. (Lime green vs dark green staining). The other issues are overbought by the outsiders and can be ignored. Note Issue 2 is on the watch list FYI. Table 1 Bias Score Analysis of the Defenders Issues 1 to 19.  Table 2 is the SLN numbers which separates out the I/O worlds for each issues. Note that Issues 14 and 17 are strongly Biased while the other issues of 6 to 9, 11 to 13, 15, 18, and 19 are somewhat biased. This data number tends to be the less stringent and need to be carefully considered. Notice Issue 17 is noted as strongly biased as it was in the B Score Table. Table 2. SLNs Numbers for the I/O Data for the Defender...

Amazingly Secret Approach Using an Incredibly Novel Data Analysis Procedure for Comic Book Investing and Speculation.  Bias Analysis of Iron Man Issues 1 to 56. As I have done in all my post, I will start out with the top level of analysis, the Bias Score. So given the popularity of Iron Man, I expected a lot of opportunities in this run. I have noted by color staining the issues strongly Bias by the insiders vs outsiders (lime green). Somewhat Bias issues have their issue number stained by dark green stain. So we see the strong issues are #1, 44, and 55. Note the B Scores are 370, 139, and 304. I discuss the desire scale of these three in table 5. I see issues 3, 9 13, 15, 28, 30 and 43 are dark green stained and deserve our attention as well. Also, I do note evidence of overbuying issues as seen by the high number of negative scoring issues. The story here is to focus on the lime green issues for full on investments. Table 1.  Iron Man B Score for Issues 1 to 56 S...

Amazingly Secret Approach Using an Incredibly Novel Data Analysis Procedure for Comic Book Investing and Speculation.  Bias in the Sub-mariner Issues 1 to 20, 22, 34 35 36 and 43  As is my practice, I always start with the B Score level (see Table 1). A top down look into this run. So far the Sub-mariner has not been picked up as a movie yet. So my big theme is that this is a run you should look into to get ahead of the curve. I have run from 1 to 20 myself. I need to search for issues 34 and 35 as well. Issue 8 is the third highly I-biased issue here (lime green). The other issues of note here are stained dark green. So I have been setting up a Desire Scale as I introduced previously. I have and will post down the road a complete list of 1356 issues of all the runs covered or soon to be. So for right now; Issues 35 (86.4 percentile ranking) and 34 (86.1 percentile ranking) are in the top 15% of desired comics in my data set. Issue 8 is very close with the hard to find "S...

Amazingly Secret Approach Using an Incredibly Novel Data Analysis Procedure for Comic Book Investing and Speculation.  Analysis of Early Captain America Issues 100 to 118. This is the beginning Blog Arc for the next group of Marvel Titles to look at. I have eased over in the bronze era as well. Captain America issues 100 to 118, Sub-mariner 1 to 20, 22, 34 to 36 and 43. Defenders 1 to 19, Iron Man 1 to 56, So given the interest in the recent movies, I suspected these issues would be strong buys.   As discussed before the Bias Scores gives us a first top down view into these issues. Looking at table 1, green denoted issues are those issues biased supported by the insider investors and are recommended as buy candidates. The only light green issue #117 is the first appearance if the Falcon.   Note its B Score is 519 that puts it in the top 85 silver age issues for desirability. That is a strong strong number. See the data in the Desire Scale Blog Post. I...
