Members of Mewe will know I am very optimistic about Amazing Fantasy Vol 2. #15. However, I never did a detailed post explaining the reasons for my optimism. This article aims to repair the oversight.

In summary, I liked this book because there is no other books that contain a key modern character with such low supply.

Below is a cross comparison between all the low print modern books that contain significant first appearance. By low, I refer to books that have under 20,000 sales as reported on Comichron.

Issues	Appearance Ratio	Supply	Price in 9.6	Price in 9.8
Adam Legend of Blue Marvel #1 (Blue Marvel)	9	17,305	$600	$1400
Captain Marvel Vol 7, #14 (Kamala Khan)	52	19,320	$250	$600
Amazing Fantasy Vol 2, #15 (Amadeus Cho)	20	13,957	$250	$600

The table shows that Amazing Fantasy Vol 2, #15 has the lowest print run and yet is not the highest priced book among the low print run books. On that basis alone, there is already significant room for this book to play catch up.

Next, we need to look at books individually and assess whether the AF #15 book is on the same level or possess qualities that are better than Adam Legend of Blue Marvel #1 and Captain Marvel Vol 7, #14.

Lets first address Captain Marvel Vol 7. #14. If this book is on the same quality as Amazing Fantasy Vol 2, #15, then there is no potential growth. However, AF #15 has one very powerful advantage:

There is no competing book for Amadeus Cho’s first appearance. In contrast, Captain Marvel Vol 7 #14 is not the only book that competes as Kamala Khan’s first book, resulting in diluting of money flow into the book. (Examples of Kamala’s competing books include Captain Marvel Vol 7, #17 2nd print, All New Marvel Point One)

Due to the above, all the funds that want to invest in Cho’s first appearance will go into this book, resulting in a potential higher price relative to CM #14.

Next, let discuss Adam Legend of Blue Marvel #1. This book does not have the competing first appearance problem that CM #14 has. However, Blue Marvel is not as prominent a character as Cho, if we compare their first appearance ratio.

Since Cho has more prominence than Blue Marvel and less lower supply, it is possible that Amazing Fantasy #15 has the potential to break the price ceiling of Blue Marvel #1.

So, putting the arguments together, Amazing Fantasy Vol 2, #15 possess better qualities than the other 2 books, which should propel it beyond their prices.

Another perspective

Issues	Appearance Ratio	Supply	Price in 9.6	Price in 9.8
Amazing Fantasy Vol 2, #15 (Amadeus Cho)	20	13,957	$250	$600
Vengeance #1 (Ms America)	16	25,837	$250	$400

In a final comparison, we can contrast Vengeance #1 and Amazing Fantasy Vol 2, #15. The former has almost twice the supply of the latter, and yet prices are pretty close to each other.

In terms of character appearance, Cho has also made more appearances than Ms America. In other words, Cho is the more prominent character but has not been valued accordingly.

Looking from these 2 angles (supply and character appearance), Amazing Fantasy Vol 2, #15 should be valued at much higher prices than Vengenance #1, which suggest that it is still undervalued.

Conclusion

In summary, the various cross comparisons is telling me that Amazing Fantasy Vol 2, #15 has still room to grow. Its current price run is reaching a trigger point that might send prices beyond Blue Marvel level.

In fact, there is no other modern book whose regular edition has such low print run, with a character that is this prominent.

You can find books with lower prints runs or characters with higher prominence but not both.
