    Was HA.com there also like at Calgary Expo a couple of years ago? How is the comic market at Edm Expo?

    Didn't see HA there anywhere. 

    As for comics, it was pretty great actually. A lot of $2 bins which was fantastic for filling in some of my runs. Was pretty happy with the amount of 2nd/3rd prints I found for dirt cheap for specific series I collect. Didn't really pay attention to the big expensive books as I was on a budget this go around

    I didn't see it anywhere in the lists on that site, but do you know of he has newsstands listed. Or a link for newsstands. It's been incredibly difficult trying to find out which newsstands existed and which don't.

    This last weekend at a flea market in nowhere Ontario, Canada I found a newsstand I didn't even know existed until I saw it for my own eyes

    Ah, there you go. Told you I'd forgotten most of it!

    I wish I hadn't sold this one:

    That's incredible! I didn't even know there was a blank sketch variant for issue #100 🤦 

    I need to get my mess together. I JUST finally started finding NEWSSTAND editions in the wild. I've been looking for YEARS and have never come across them until last week

    I'm not surprised. All the back cover variations made tracking a little difficult - I don't think the word 'Checkers' appeared anywhere on the book so it would make sense that someone would refer to it as the 'Gameboy' version.

    I was in my 30s and had a great time collecting them. I think I managed to get everything in the end for the first USM run. It was a big thing then, the Ultimate range - something different. Good luck :)

    I know the inside cover says "Checkers G" .

    I've forgotten more about them than I remember now. There were tons of USM variants, some common, some not so common. I've no idea whether they still command any interest though. 

    I was 11 when this series came out. It's what got me into Comic Books. This series is very near and dear to my heart and I still have all the original run I bought as a kid. Been trying to track down all the variants and obscure ones! There's a lot of fans out there I'm sure.
