Question 1 - This crazy rare book was supposed to be packaged with an x-men board game, but ended up making it into the packages, and then offered as a mail-away from the game makers, right? Question 2 - you guys consider this book as a "second print", or a rare reprint/giveaway like the comics they pack with marvel legends figures and such? I would catagorize a 2nd print would have to be for sale to the public, from the distributer,at shops, not reproduced for a toy or game. Question 3 Are second prints all considered "reprints", or does some amount of time have to pass from issue date to be classified a "reprint" , instead of 2nd print, by the collecting public? (I know, apples and oranges, just curious) Cheers !

So what's stopping you? Here, I'll go... One of the rarest Marvel 2nd prints that exists: Not the SMF, just the regular ol' 2nd print. Marvel rarely did second prints unless they could justify decent print runs, even if the first print sold out, whereas DC liked to suck every last dime they could, and went back to press when they thought there was any demand at all...hence, books like Supergirl #1 3rd, with a couple thousand copies estimated to exist. Therefore, the vast majority of Marvel's second printings up to about 1996 are very common. Except this one and #64 2nd print. it looks like they made 2nd prints for every single issue 2 - 63 of gi joe.. From mycomicshop listing: GI Joe (1982 Marvel) #63 Published September 1987 by Marvel. Mike Zeck cover. All 2nd or 3rd printings have a 2nd 3rd printing notice on inside at bottom of indicia on first/splash page. 2nd printings were done for most issues from #2 to #63. Cover price $1.00. now we need a new thread about "Rarest 3RD printing of a copper age book...."

Cool item, but a manufacture error is not a second printing. I do like your post question though, what are the rarest 2nd prints..?...

After $55, the bids get sketchy... Yea, I did notice that and thought the same. There's another seller their copy is at $56 with 3hrs left and looks legit. Also another at $53 with a day +left. So looks that it is at least gonna be fetching in the $50s. For how long who knows though.... Hope so, sold one for 60 today

I had it read in the car (thumbs u

After $55, the bids get sketchy...

Loved #3 as well! My only complaint would be its so good, it reads to quick! Just like saga, I want more now! Hard to wait between issues....

I know, right? I picked up three copies ASAP after re-reading

Hey Ryan, Just got caught up on my reading last night. 1st gauntlet in SS 44, remembered the scene, just not the issue for some reason. Published the week after TQ2.

Amazing Court! Would have also thought that was long gone. Great pickup!

Agreed. Sorry for left turn.

Not really, it IS a 9.8 - hands down. Actually, you are now at the mercey of the buyer on eBay. Listing a specific number grade, instead of a nm/mint grade range opinion, leaves it up to the buyer now to agree or not, especially if you don't have a disclaimer about condition on your auction being only opinion and not fact. eBay will not allow a number grade to be fact unless from a third party item. Not trying to be negative, but I have been over this with eBay. Nonsense - whether you put 9.8 or NM/M in the listing doesn't matter. Not according to eBay. Go tell them it's nonsense. And about that whole condition disclaimer thing? You know ... this one: not worth the time it took to type it out :thumbsup: Actually, was worth $600.00 recently when eBay found in my favor because I have that disclaimer, which they had previously recommended I have due to a buyers remorse case I ended up winning, but hey, your the expert so.... . :doh: If you list a book as "NM" on eBay and the buyer, upon receipt of the book, disagrees with the grade, having a nonsense disclaimer like the one I pulled from your eBay auctions above won't do jack squat. If you think otherwise, you're mistaken. Let me guess - you also believe that just because you specify "No returns" in your eBay listings, a buyer can't return a book? :: Did you even read what I just wrote? eBay found in my favor because of the disclaimer. This isn't a debate, it's what happened. And I say it's absolute nonsense :thumbsup: Wow. Classy. :shrug: I've won several SNAD claims as a buyer on eBay where sellers thought they could fill their auction listing with disclaimers and thereby absolve themselves from any blame when their books turned out to be horribly overgraded. You can write whatever you want in your listing, but if you don't deliver the item as described, the buyer will win the case. Great, you won because you were probably right and those sellers probabley sucked. The disclaimer isnt for you, it is to protect me against a bad buyer who tries to get over. i dont think about books returned cuz they all grade stated condition or higher. 15 years, 2150 and 100% feedback, back that up.

FYI I'm not arguing that its not a 9.8. I'm I forming you that if the buyer wants to file a "item not received as stated" claim to get a refund, your gonna have a hard time disproving a possible buyers remorse. It's not an attack on your grading skillz. It's a warning about bad buyers.

Great haul on the Teen Titans book!

My favorite Deadpool page... ...and the OA for it! Chimichanga!

I think this book will be "re-writing" history a lot, with things like the "REAL" inspiration for the St Louis arch, ect, ect.

That silver surfer 44 panel is winning the "first appearance" award, at the moment...

The finished product. Cheers!
