Why Marvel Preview 4 is a Hot Comic

DROPPED OUT OF LIST

2020 MARKET UPDATE: STAR-LORD FALLS FLAT ACROSS THE BOARD

Guardians of the Galaxy looks to be a bit of a dead end in the MCU for now, anyway, so Marvel Preview 4 is not performing well.

Not a good time to consider a new investment in this book. I would get out if you have one at the moment.

IF YOU BOUGHT MY RECOMMENDED GRADE LAST YEAR:

Here's the bottom line.

CGC 9.8 2018 $2,046
LAST SALE $1,625
PERCENT CHANGE -23%

2019 MARKET UPDATE: STAR-LORD FIRES BOOSTER ROCKETS IN HIGH GRADE

While prices in low-to-mid-grades have stalled, the afterburners are truly roaring in higher grades on Marvel Preview 4.

Note that it's really only CGC 9.8 that has been this successful. CGC 9.6 has increased by about 17 percent, 9.4 through 8.5 have fallen, and other grades are mixed.

This remains a hold if you have had one for a long time. If you did buy when I recommended it last year, then that $1,100 profit looks worth taking.

Recent sales:

CGC 9.8: $2,600
CGC 9.6 $745
CGC 9.4 $400
CGC 9.2 $349
CGC 9.0 $350 (!)
CGC 8.5 $360 (!!)
CGC 8.0 $295
CGC 7.0 $199

2018 MARKET UPDATE: NEW ENTRY ON THIS YEAR'S 100 HOT COMICS LIST!

A darling of the dealer dollar bins at shows until the shock announcement of the first movie, Marvel Preview 4 suddenly rocketed to fame.

It quickly became apparent that high-grade copies of this book are far more common than people expected. Still, for a while the ride was great.

Prices have settled down now, but with two successful movies, GOTG are here to stay. Here are some recent sales.

CGC 9.8: $1,500
CGC 9.6 $650
CGC 9.4 $480
CGC 9.2 $305
CGC 9.0 $405 (!!)
CGC 8.5 $300 (!!)
CGC 8.0 $260
CGC 7.0 $235 (!!)

You can see the problem with Marvel Preview 4.

People with no sense of the difference between a CGC 9.0 and CGC 9.4 will pay similar prices -- even as low as CGC 8.0 has seen high sales.

Another good book to look for from the same series is Marvel Preview #7, the first appearance of Rocket Raccoon.

What to Invest In

We feel strongly that there will be more Guardians of the Galaxy movies to come. But the problem is, buying a copy of this book below CGC 9.8 is dangerous.

There are too many of them around. They do seem to suffer more than comic books of the period from darkening of the pages, so white pages is desirable.

There is no shortage of nice copies of this book, with 81 9.8s and 100 9.6s in the census. Stick to your guns and wait for a copy with white pages.
