This is a Slobodian copy, but CGC doesn't recognize it as a Pedigree.

Yeah, 10 is pretty conservative, imho.

Ill give ya's two dolla' fity for the Venom book.

well, further investigation shows that it was an MRRC variant given to retailers for signing up. Basically "hey, here's a book you can sell for a bunch to recoup some of your costs for signing up to the Marvel Retailer Resource Center". I agree, it's stupid for collectors, but it's smart business for Marvel/retailers.

Well, it's sad to see you go, Whisp. MK needs all the fans he can get. I wish I could say I disagree with you, but I don't. You're absolutely right. I dont even attempt to bother with all the variants and . I find out what the rarest one is, and make that single copy my goal. :shrug:

I do indeed. I'm an old timer in this industry with 15 years in the gaming biz. I worked for Microsoft for 10 or so years and worked on Halo Wars; thus the giant Master Chief. I've got all kinds of Halo junk lying around...

Somebody's a Halo fan? Here's the biggest of my Halo stuff in my office @ work... Lots more where that came from, too..

Wow, that actually looks pretty good! I may have to see if I can find one.

Now that I know this, I'm keen to snag a Bowen statue. Check out these even more accurate custom paints on the Bowen statue. Even the white with the black looks pretty awesome.

Yep, that is exactly correct. Just read WWBN again the other day and that is indeed what it states.

Ran across this blurb in Marvel Fanfare. Pretty interesting. I guess I'm ashamed to admit I always thought that once MK got his own book, his costume was white. He was clearly silver in the WBN books, but I had no idea he was actually BLACK with a silver cape & cowl. Consequently I always hated the silver Bowen MK statue. Guess I'm eating crow now.

My copy from eBay shipped today. When I get it I'll post a pic of that one. (thumbs u Got my copy of Alter Ego #21 today and it is SWEET. Looks like a 9.6/9.8 copy to me. WEWT! Will CGC grade that? Or will the B&W prevent that?

You could try and educate the masses by 1) sending a picture of your book to ComicVine or 2) place the book up for sell in your eBay store and let people discover it for themselves. I did create an account and upload the cover to ComicVine. We'll see if the moderators actually post it... I dont really want to sell it; I guess I could list it for a ridiculous price...

Probably, but the NFResale version had a few thousand print run; the virgin is in the 300 range.. I'm not sure it'll ever have that many copies floating around.

FWIW, I've been looking for at least the last 5 months jsut to get a value point and have *never* seen one. Most comic info sites don't even know it exists and a google search for it turns up literally nothing. (ie ComicVine doesn't know it exists, etc... )

I bought it off LBJArm.. IIRC, he said it was a 300 issue print run given out to people who purchased memberships for Marvel Digital Comics. I bought it from him raw for $70(??). No idea if it'll ever really be worth that, but for me it was more just about having one of the rarest MK books there is... Here's hoping none (or very very few) of those other 300 copies are in as decent of shape or ever slabbed. I assume Marvel just mailed them out so most are likely destroyed by the USPS; creases, etc...

Did you order it from the publisher and go with media mail too? I paid the extra couple bucks for priority, and got it fast and in perfect shape. Seems weird that they would be messed up even if sent media. Yeah, that was my mistake. I forgot to cough up the extra for priority. I may buy another; they are cheap as hell; less than cover price.

wewt! Just back! If only I could track down a #26 in 9.8. #24 and #26 are easily the most difficult. Not sure why.

First a modern, but the one and only census copy: (thx LBJARM!) and a relatively tough pretty book in 9.8.

arrived today. Unfortunately shipped via media mail, so it's a bit dinged up.

Check the dollar boxes.

Looks like 3 variant covers too.

Please, no.
