Missed out by missing that lot or missed out by not bidding high enough?

Missed out because it went for more than I wanted to pay for the condition it was in....I bid it up though...so it did not go cheap....

Found these in an antique store in Ohio with my wife on one our cross country buying trips a few years ago. Actually, she found them first and called me over. Damn, I love that girl!

Those are wonderful....

Nice haul!  Marijuana Girl...

Yeah, That one was cool.  1960 edition.  Couldn't find one on abebooks or ebay for a price check but I like it no matter what!

Can't wait to read the Lady El by Jim Starlin.  I read the Among Madmen years ago and really liked it....

Where is your next show? 

2021....maybe

Doing 25-30 shows are a thing of the past this year.....

Still have 3 on the schedule for June but would shocked if they all don't get cancelled....

And....no I didn't leave those Spawn's in the $5 box (but there's tons of other stuff that I'm sure I've missed )

During this time of stay at home orders in Indiana our friends at Aw Yeah Comics-Muncie are having a Live Facebook Comic Sale every evening at 7:00 PM until they can resume regular business hours.

On any given night they will have Silver Age Comics, Bronze Age, Modern Comics, Variants, Signed Comics.....you name it!

The Sale usually lasts an hour & a half to two hours.  They have great prices and have a pretty high sell-through rate night after night.

Tonight's theme is Horror Comics!

Go to the Aw Yeah-Muncie Facebook page and enjoy the show! (and buy some comics to support a great LCS... )

Boy you have had a streak of luck lately.

 

What is really lucky is that all of these were for sale in my $5 boxes and nobody bought them at the shows they were at...

Wish I knew where they came from but I buy so much stuff that they could have come from literally anywhere.....

It's interesting for sure ... but in doing my research for the SpawnWorld guide, I had it confirmed directly by the folks at McFarlane that 137 was the last newsstand issue printed.

Additionally, in all the hundreds (thousands likely) of Spawn newsstand issues I've seen, owned, and examined, I've never seen another sticker even close to that.

My guess would be that it was added after-the-fact, possibly by the retail store.

Nonetheless, congrats on finding the 136 and 137 - those are tough to find!

Thanks! 

That Spawn World Guide is awesome!

All of the "sticker newsstand copies are rounded if you look in the spawnworld link so …...

The 138 came in the same bunch with the 136 & 137 which leads me to believe the same person probably bought all three at the same place....

Outside the bag....

More pictures please, perhaps with the comic outside of the bag?

Not sure the point....it looks the same inside or outside the bag...

Sticker is on the bag. I’ve never seen those issues with a barcode on the cover. @Lobstrosity would be the chief expert here, as I have never been into newsstand issues for a variety of good reasons!  

You must not have read my previous reply....the sticker is not on the bag.

I am not into newsstand issues either.....thus my questions.....

10 minutes ago, ADAMANTIUM said:

am I wrong? or does that look like the "sticker" is on the bag and not the comic? but maybe @newshane would know  

Nope...sticker is on the comic....

My knowledge of newsstands is very little but I figured there are several around these parts that would something about this issue....

Looking for info on this one....

On the Spawnworld website they state that 137 is the last newsstand issue however I found 136, 137 & 138 newsstand issues all together.   The 138 has a newsstand sticker at the bottom attached.  The Spawnworld site says there were some issues that did have newsstand stickers.

I guess what I'm asking is has anyone seen a 138 newsstand like this before?! 

Thanks for any info from those in the know!

Great story Doc....as I was reading it I figured that you had purchased the Showcase from Bill (Confirmed in later posts!).  He and I talked briefly last weekend about that very comic and how that was the one Showcase I never broke down and purchased.

Congrats on owning such an iconic book (for the second time!)…...Hopefully, you still have a cool Batman #8 lying around somewhere 

Indiana Comic Con April 10-12 is postponed until later in the year....no new date yet
