Actually Captain America: 359-360 (Crossbones 1st Appearance)

#360 (Currently $20-$50 in NM)

We talked about this book as having massive potential back in Feb of 2013, and for those playing at home, hopefully you picked some up while they were still cheap. I know I did, but you can still pick them up at decent prices, but hurry. If you've seen the Winter Soldier movie, you can see why these will be going up fast. Look for NM copies and pay for them as they'll be worth it. Since it's a newer book Copper Age (1984-1991), NM copies can still be found so it doesn't make sense to pay less for a lesser quality book.

9.8's are in the 150-200 range, and I only see that going up as we move towards Captain America #3

Every time if found CA 360, it's always in poor or at best very good condition. It must have been a excellent read when it came out. :(

this is the extent of his appearance in 359:

I imagine if the character is used at all extensively in future Marvel films that the market would ultimately see 362 as being the book to get.

People Go by cgc and cgc says 360.
So to be safe i will roll with 360.

But there is a good chance this gets changed in the coming months or years. CGC seems to be pretty receptive when listening to customers inquire about books receiving first appearance designations if it actually gets brought to their attention.

The 360 designation as his first appearance isn't accurate on a number of levels. His first appearance is in 359 for starters. Furthermore you couldn't even call 360 as his first full appearance, its just another cameo. Someone will submit a copy of 362, ask about it getting a notation as his first full appearance and that will be that.

If anyone thinks Crossbones is going to be valuable in the years please check current values on Malekith .....

Crossbones is scheduled to appear in at least 3 movies. Malekith making another appearance on the big screen?

[8802]

Did Crossbones make ONE yet? Not one time was Crossbones mentioned, and a burned body doesn't mean anything.

These Marvel movie deals aren't what people think. It's a retainer type option but it's OK buy all you want. I hope I'm wrong and you guys buy new cars with Crossbone profit

Second tier villains are hard for me to invest in and he looks like the Punisher. It would take a separate Crossbones movie for me to get excited long term, short term I am sure people will overpay and money will be made.

I don't think number of movies is the issue, character quality is. I would submit bane as prime example of why villains are like defense players in fb as far as investment go.

Of course it matters. Multiple appearances on screen allow the character to be kept around in the spotlight for much longer period of time and leave some sort of impact.

It's Crossbones dude not the Joker

[fastballspecial]

I bought around 20 copies of each last year and have been happily selling them though maybe one a month. Within the last week demand has exploded. The issue currently that isn't exploding is 362.

359 and 360 are the ones to have currently. Buyers have been moving more toward buying up cameos more then 1st full appearances in the last year or two. Don't ask me to explain it because it doesn't make sense to me either.
