Ghost Rider's Debut Just Keeps Selling, ComicConnect Has One Today
Ghost Rider is the next big Marvel first appearance that is poised to make a huge jump. It has already started, as copies of Marvel Spotlight #5 are the most-requested back issue in my shop right now, and the prices for quality copies keep going up. There are rumors that the character will be rehabbed in the MCU, and that has sent people scrambling to snatch this book up fast. Like this CGC 9.4 copy at ComicConnect, a fantastic copy of this huge key book. What is super cool about this one is that it is the old CGC label. That is always super neat to see. This is sitting at $7500 as of this writing. But, for a copy like this, that is to be expected. Check it out below.
