Retire with Booster Gold
For decades, you could pick up a copy of Booster Gold, Volume 1, #1 for nominally more than its 75¢ cover price. However, ever since SyFy announced that they would be making a Booster Gold television show in 2011, the price of his first appearance has skyrocketed.
I frequently see sellers offering slabbed copies for about $400, although you can acquire one in great condition for much closer to $40 if you are patient and don't care to have your comic trapped inside a plastic cocoon. (Booster Gold, Volume 2, #1, on the other hand, is still readily available for about $4!)
Recent confirmation that Warner Brothers is working on a movie about our hero is likely to make these prices keep climbing. Silver Age Marvel comics — always desirable — have gone through the roof since the Marvel Cinematic Universe became all the rage. Although Booster Gold #1 is unlikely to ever be as valuable as Amazing Fantasy #15, Booster would certainly be pleased to learn that his own comics are becoming sought-after collectibles in their own right.
