Cameo vs 1st appearance

[Zane]

Hey. I’m new to collecting comics for value. I was wondering in general is a characters cameo or their 1st full appearance more desirable in terms of collectibility?

1st full appearance.

For instance, Wolverine gets a cameo in Incredible Hulk #180, with his first full appearance in #181. A 9.2 rated copy will be valued at about $1300 and $6500, respectively. Prices may vary, of course.

Thanks you, anything else you look for, especially in new releases that might indicate a valuable comic?

Many people put stock into an artist's first time doing a character for a book. My personal opinion, that only works so long as the artist is on the book. Once they leave the book, demand goes down.
