Most Valuable AVON COMICS published each yearT
Key investment comics and historically important issues
Compiled and edited by comic book historian Terry Hoknes www.HoknesComics.com hoknes@hotmail.com
These are the 3 most valuable AVON comic books published in every year (Overstreet 2013 guide NM prices)
These books have proven to be consistently the most in demand key issues ever and are the best investments long term.
This list only include regular cover mass printed editions. No variants or limited edition versions included.
This is the first time a yearly comparison has ever been made and the purpose is to show a few things.
First of all it does truly highlight the major key books of every year. It also shows quickly which titles seems to pop up the most often and are truly the most expensive series to collect. Some titles are just more collected than others and bring higher $$ amounts even to non-key issues in a run.
Note that some years have lesser keys standing at the front of the line and are for their age a better investment. This can always be seen with most books from the 1950’s which are much more affordable and scarcer than any more recent books.
