Comprehensive List of DC Universe Logo UPC Variants
Brandon Shepherd replied to revat's topic in Copper Age Comic Books
Oh man! 705 and 706 are very nostalgic for me. I’ve been after 705 in 9.8 for years. I was so excited to have 705 as a kid because even then, as a 13 year old in 1995, I thought Superman’s mullet looked really *^%#*#^ stupid. A cover of Superman with a better haircut was one of the better parts of 1994 to me. So 705 is a tough one for a DCU? I almost wish I didn’t know that. Love this thread. -

Why do I do this to myself? I also wonder if this is a good price or not. Voice inside my head, “please stop!” -
I have theses issues, they’re interesting. Roy Thomas clearly did his homework on Vlad Tepes. You also can’t go wrong with art from Esteban Maroto.

Batman in the Copper Age
Brandon Shepherd replied to Brandon Shepherd's topic in Copper Age Comic Books
I finally got these off mycomicshop.com. I figured I’d better get them before they go out of print. I love Gene Colan’s moody pencil work, the art is gorgeous on glossy paper. -

Superman: The Man of Steel #17 (11/92) Key comments read, “Doomsday cameo on last page.” Can this be updated to say “First Appearance of Doomsday in cameo.”?

The key comments for Batman: Son of the Demon ## (1987) do not currently notate the first appearance of Damian Wayne. From GCD: https://www.comics.org/issue/365295/ Damian Wayne (1st appearance, unnamed in the story, cameo)

Oh no! I don’t want to knock it until I try it, but I don’t want to try it. I’d rather reread Superman comics from the mid 90s.

Batman: Knightfall Multiple Printing Club
Brandon Shepherd replied to Brandon Shepherd's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
First slab purchase for me in 2024. Batman #491 Third Printing Currently 1 of 6 in 9.8, there are also no second prints in Universal 9.8 - C’mon internet, make it happen! -
My Top 3 in ‘23 were ‘90s DC multiple printings from ‘93 in 9.8 grade. No one wanted them back then and now they are HTF in high grade. 1) Adventures of Superman #498 (1/93), Second Printing On 5 January 2023, I got an early morning text, from friend Iconic1s, with an eBay link. I was floored to see a second printing of this book, graded 9.8. The asking price of $250 was reasonable but I put in a best offer, just cause, about twenty minutes later the seller accepted. This book was a great way to start the new year. The first 9.8 for this second printing was graded on 08/09/2012 (part of Iconic1s’ collection), my copy is only this second copy to be graded Universal 9.8 by CGC - ten years is a long time. 2) Batman #490 (3/93), Second Printing This piece is the first Universal 9.8 graded by CGC. I tried searching on and off for raw copies online previously but I never found any suitable candidates for grading. I was also the only bidder in the eBay auction for this book, most likely due to opening bid of $99.99. When factoring in the costs of pressing, grading, shipping and time spent searching, paying $99.99 plus tax and shipping was only about $30 more than if I had found a raw example and paid to have it pressed and graded. 3) Justice League America #70 (1/93), Third Printing When I saw this piece on eBay, the price was too good to pass up, I bought it right away. The eBay seller was YouTuber Mint-Hunter Comics, a channel I follow. Mint-Hunter Comics put out a video not long after I purchased this book, where he showed this book along with everything else from his latest CGC submission, he also mentioned the Justice League America #70 third printing had only been listed for about four minutes before I bought it. The internet makes the world a small place.
