Revisiting Moon Knight Key Issues 18 Months Later

Believe it or not, 18 months have already handed for the reason that debut of Moon Knight on Disney+ again in late March of 2022. More than half a 12 months later, let’s have a look and see if Moon Knight’s key points have held — or misplaced — a lot of their worth.

Moon Knight has come and gone on Disney+. It acquired principally constructive critiques from critics (86%) and audiences (89%), and most praised Oscar Isaac’s multi-faceted efficiency. Its CGI was additionally robust, from Khonshu, the traditional Egyptian god of the Moon, to Moon Knight’s elaborate mummy-like costume. We haven’t seen Moon Knight for the reason that present, however we hear he’ll be again to battle Rama-Tut in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. With the market having forgotten about Moon Knight, might or not it’s a superb time to purchase?

Werewolf by Night #32 has misplaced over 66% of its worth because it reached its all-time excessive sale in December 2021.

This is THE key problem for Moon Knight and probably the most vital key problems with the Bronze Age. In my thoughts, when it comes to significance, it’s proper after Hulk #181, Amazing Spider-Man #129, Giant-Size X-Men #1, and perhaps Marvel Spotlight #5.

When you evaluate this problem’s gross sales knowledge over time in its most typical grade on the CGC Census (an 8.5), it’s clear this guide has taken an enormous beating ever for the reason that finish of the “comic boom.”

As you possibly can see within the screenshot above from GoCollect, after reaching an all-time excessive of $5,499.50 in December 2021, just some months earlier than the debut of the TV present, the worth of an 8.5 has completely plummeted. Today, in accordance with GoCollect, the FMV of an 8.5 is $2,200.

One copy offered for a mere $1,651 throughout a current public sale on eBay on August twenty third. Purchasing it for that quantity is like going again in time 4 years and shopping for it in early 2019 earlier than the present had even been introduced. In my opinion, that worth is a steal for a significant Bronze Age key in excessive grade.

Since late 2019, a 9.6 copy of Moon Knight #1 has produced roughly a 40% ROI over 4 years.

Moon Knight #1 can also be a significant key problem for Moon Knight for a couple of causes: (1) that is the primary problem in his first ongoing collection; (2) it accommodates the story of Moon Knight’s origin; and (3) it accommodates the primary appearances of two characters: Khonshu and the Bushman. CGC doesn’t even embody the primary look of Khonshu on its label, nevertheless it most likely ought to going ahead.

During the comedian growth, a 9.6 copy of this problem (the commonest grade on the CGC Census) exploded in worth, reaching an all-time excessive of $327 in September of 2022. Then a significant correction occurred affecting your complete comedian guide market, together with this problem. Today, in accordance with GoCollect, the FMV of a 9.6 is $140. Still, if you happen to have a look at gross sales knowledge in late 2019 earlier than the pandemic and the comedian growth, a 9.6 offered for simply over $100. That’s roughly a 40% return over 4 years, an ROI primarily pushed by the MCU.

Considering that we are going to probably see Oscar Isaac, Moon Knight, and Khonshu once more, it won’t be a foul time to choose up a few of these key points.
