Investment Potential and Analysis of Savage Sword of Conan Issues 1 to 5

Image
Savage Sword of Conan 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 re...

Investment Potential and Analysis of Star Wars 1-10, 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A 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.   The Star Wars early issues are overshadowed by the 35 cent variations as those issues are  denoted by the A symbol.  The Star Wars #1 35 cent variant has been one of the most valuable and sought after comic books of the Bronze Age for several years. These were in very limited distribution, and although the exact numbers aren’t known, the  estimate is about 1500 copies for issue 1.  So the B Scores are p...

Investment Potential and Analysis of Marvel 2 in 1 Bronze Age Series

Marvel 2 in 1 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. So we developed an analysis of data to quantify this Bias. 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 that issue 1 and 4 are the focus and have the highest Bias signals in this data stream. Issue one has the man-thing vs thing on cover. A unique adventure for the the thing. He is mad that another has the thing as its name!. Issue 4 has the Thing, Capt America and Agent Carter are in it, Neat cover!. This is part one and Issue 5 completes the story dealing with the 31st century! Issue has the Guardians of the Galaxy as well. Note 5 is also green stained and is somewhat biased. Table 1. Bias Scores o...

THIRD ARC BEGINS _____ Investment Potential and Bias Analysis of Conan Issues (Bronze Age) #1 to 25 and 37

Image
 Investment Potential and Bias Analysis of Conan Issues (Bronze Age) #1 to 25 and 37 We begin our analysis of Conan from the Bronze Age. I ask you to read back through the different stats I have developed to determine the comics that are favored by the top comic book investors aka the Insiders vs the fans aka the Outsiders. I developed the Stat I call the Bias score. In Table 1 I list the Conan issues 1 to 25 and 37. Lime Green issues are those issues that are very biased and strongly desired by the Insiders. The only issues of this type is Conan #1 with a B Score of 162. It quickly drops to 53. That score is still positive and implies a solid issue to focus on. We have the dark green issues with a somewhat Bias are, 3, 5, 7 10, 23, and 25. These are issues to watch for a bargain. Note a lot of issues in the negative and those are to be avoided. Table 1 B Score of the Conan Issues #1 to 25 and 37.  We move down further into the worlds of the I/O and have denoted the is...

Cluster Analysis and Investment Potential of Sub-mariner, Iron Man, and Captain America Selected Issues

Cluster Analysis and Investment Potential of Sub-mariner, Iron Man, and Captain America Selected Issues Cluster analysis is the procedure where multiple titles are put together and analyzed as a group. So this post deals with the three titles in the 2nd ARC of titles; Capt America, Sub-mariner, and Iron Man. Table 1 is the B SCORE data for the cluster. As in other analysis, issues that have the highest Insider Bias are stained with Lime Green. These issues are Captain America #117 (496), Iron Man #1 (395) and Iron Man #55 (329). Note the extreme drop to the next level at 57. That is a drop of 83%. That is very significant. Given investment budget issues, you could only focus on these 3 issues and be fine. Note the next group from with a range of Bias Score from 57 to 42. These issues are to be considered issues that are somewhat biased and could be objects of some focus as well. Table 1 B Scores of the 3 Title Run of Selected Capt America, Sub-mariner, and Iron Man Issues.  ...

Investment Potential and Key Analysis of Amazing Adventures Vol 2 (Bronze Age) Issues #1 to 18

Image
Investment Potential and Key Analysis of Amazing Adventures (Bronze Age) Issues #1 to 18  As we look into the bronze age run, we expect the emphasis on the Inhumans, Black Widow and the first furry Beast are going to be the key elements that Insider investors will be focused on. Table 1 presents the Bias Scores for all the issues in Amazing Adventures (AA). I has previous discussed all the data streams I you to look into these runs. So I highlight the highest Insider Biased issues with Lime green staining and somewhat biased issues with Dark green staining. Grey issues are on the watch list. So the story here is the 2 issues, 11 and 13. Issue 11 is the first furry Beast and issue 13 is the big fight vs the brotherhood of evil mutants. These are 184 and 181 and the next is issue 14 is at 107. So clearly these 2 issue are the standout ones by the Insiders and then need to invite your focus as well. Table 1. B Scores of the AA issues 1 to 18.  We next have my data stream ...

Investment Potential and Analysis of Key Marvel Team Up Issues 1 to 25

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...

Investment Potential and Analysis of Ghost Rider Vol 2 Issues 1 to 11

Image
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...
