- Ok... just to more or less troll all these high selling comics, and with no real reason I can see, I listed my GI Joe #1 (newsstand) CGC 9.8 for $4000 (obscene I know) and it ended up selling for $3000! What in the world is going on!?!?

- I had a long chat about exactly what you laid out, with my LCS owner, and he was surprised print runs are not playing into the prices as much as the sheer mass movement of demand on these certain comics.

- G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero (1982)
Wow! I can't believe this comic fetched that much $. A month ago, this was $70. (NM) on CBR, now it's up to $175., I would have thought back when the G. I. Joe movies came out in '09 & '13 that the price might have spiked then. I know it's the 1st appearance of most of the main characters, but why the big jump now and why would anyone pay that much $ for a comic listed @ $175. even if it was a news stand edition. I'm baffled. I noticed there are 3 or 4 copies available for sale on CBR and over 70 people looking for copies, so I guess supply & demand plays into it big time and the old theory "When you see something you want, Buy It!"

Man that's pretty awesome. A few years ago when I was attending cons I actually came across a few women that were really into the classic GI Joe comics. One was a girl in her early 20s who was flipping through all the vendors boxes grabbing up every GI Joe she could find. Thought that was really cool.
When I sell comics at the flea market to trim down my collection from time to time in the summer (stack 'em deep and sell 'em cheap. . .everything for a buck!), I've noticed the same thing. A lot of women ask about G.I. Joe comics.Favorite Characters: Lone Ranger, Green Hornet, Captain America, The Shadow, Zorro, The Rocketeer, Jonah Hex
