In June 2026, Venom's foundational issue — Amazing Spider-Man #300 — trades around a €528.99 eBay median (101 active listings), a level that's held steady since spring. The real underlying trend isn't a spike: it's a liquid, deep market, with ~100 listings per key issue and values that rank by narrative significance. Here are the real numbers and what they mean.
Talking about "Venom 2026 trends" demands discipline: base it on measured values, not forecasts. Every figure below comes from our estimator, which calculates the median of active eBay listings (eBay.fr + eBay.com) in real time.
The main takeaway from 2026 is stability combined with high volume. After a film trilogy that widened the buyer base, Venom's key issues are no longer impossible-to-find rarities: they trade constantly, by the hundreds, which makes them unusually liquid collecting assets.
Venom values in June 2026 (real eBay data)
Median of active listings, all editions and grades combined:
| Issue | Significance | eBay median (June 2026) | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASM #252 (1984) | First black suit (Earth-616) | €243.80 | 99 listings |
| ASM #300 (May 1988) | First full Venom appearance, McFarlane cover | €528.99 | 101 listings |
| ASM #316 (1989) | First full Venom cover | €207.78 | 100 listings |
| ASM #361 (1992) | First Carnage appearance | €115.00 | 101 listings |
Important note: the "all grades combined" median is pulled down by raw copies and lots. On ASM #300, listings range from €3.67 to €3,679.99 depending on condition and certification — a high-grade CGC copy sits well above the median.
What the 2026 price history shows
Our estimator keeps a history of recorded medians. Over recent months, three distinct trends emerge — all measured, none extrapolated:
- ASM #300 — stable and high. Median at €551.08 on March 26, €506 on April 5, €556.60 on June 10, then €528.99 on June 24. The grail issue oscillates in a tight band around €500-550: no spike, but a benchmark value that holds.
- ASM #252 — rising. The first black suit moved from €205.62 (March 26) to €243.80 (June 24), a clear median gain over the quarter. Venom's precursor is drawing growing demand.
- ASM #362 (2nd Carnage) — slight dip. From €24.14 (March 26) to €20.24 (June 24). Secondary symbiote-family issues remain more volatile and more affordable.
The volume lesson: Venom is a liquid market
The most structural fact of 2026 isn't a price, it's a volume. Each key issue consistently shows ~100 active eBay listings — an exceptional figure for comics from 1984-1992. In practice:
- Maximum liquidity. You can buy or sell an ASM #300 almost any time, without waiting for the "right listing." Few modern comics offer this depth of market.
- Reliable value. With 100 comparison points, the eBay median is statistically robust — unlike rare issues where two or three sales skew everything.
- Clear hierarchy. #300 (€529) > #252 (€244) > #316 (€208) > #361 (€115). Value tracks narrative significance, not the latest film's buzz.
Collector strategy in 2026 (grounded in real data)
- #300 remains the cornerstone. Stable value, maximum liquidity, durable demand independent of the film schedule. If budget allows, this is the issue to secure.
- #252 worth watching. Its median is climbing through 2026: the black-suit precursor is gaining recognition among buyers.
- #361 (Carnage) as the entry point. At a €115 median, it's the most affordable way into the symbiote family.
- Always check condition and value at the time of purchase. These figures are from June 24, 2026 and they move. Use the estimator for live value.
