This book has been known about long enough that more would have turned up if the right people had them. I would assume they are in peoples collections that don't care to have them graded. And yes, tough book to find.

There is a 9.8 on the bay for a lazy $2499.99 USD.

Just acquired a Superman/Batman #4 German Turner Supergirl Variant CGC 9.8 from the 'bay this evening, no other bidders, woo!

Love it when you put on a bid and no one else does. 

They are the worst company to deal with which is a real shame as they have some awesome covers.

I order 4 comics from them and it was a nightmare. It took over a year to get them and I only got them when I put a claim against them through internet watch dogs "Better Business Bureau".

I created a Facebook page "Comicxposure exposed" and had over 20 people join in a matter of a week or two. I haven't done anything with the page in a long time as I eventually got the comics but still get requests to join the page to this day.

Comicxposure are crooks, not two ways about it. Put a claim through Paypal for your money back now and order through Drew Bizz from eBay. I have heard good things about him and he seems to get copies from them easily enough.

That is the best advice I can give you when it comes to them.

Depending on when I am purchasing, the Australian $ can be worth anywhere as low as 68 cents to the US $ or as high as on par but that was a long time ago and didn't last long.

At the moment, the Australian $ is getting about 72 cents to the US $.

There's a pretty big difference between the last minute addition of Venom and itsobvious miscasting in Raimi's Spider-Man 3, and an entire universe of movies based on Venom (which is what's being planned now).  Also, ASM 300 was already trending up prior to the movie announcement.  But the movie announcement definitely triggered a spike.  

-J.

I can remember ASM #300 being sold for as low as $300 only a few years ago. About 10x that now.

With the new Venom movie being announced not to long ago, I think this series will be fairly hot. I know there has been a lot of Venom covers of late and some are over them but as a Venom and Symbiote fan, I can't get enough of them. The price of the first Venom appearance (ASM #300) have jumped up substantially in the last year or so. I am looking forward to the rest of this series and the variants that go alone with it.

And a very close third and forth are 

My second favorite one is 

I have seen this comic being advertised (Pre-sale) for a while now and there seems to be some interest in it. It is due to be released in a little over a weeks time (28 June).

I am probably a little bias as I am a symbiote fan in general but some of the variant covers (Pretty much all of them) have been awesome. Mattina has done a majority of them but other artists have jumped on board as well.

My favorite so far has been Mattinas 1:50

Hey Dre,

I know this is really late but do you have any of the MegaCon Venom #150 left?

I will take a raw/pre-screened set if you do.

One raw set please.

Hi, I would like 1 X CGC SS on  the Virgin copy.  Thank you

Prinmac, you have to purchase the other two variants (Reg and B&W) to be able to buy this one. Its a full set deal.

Welcome to the boards.

The 3 to 4 different variant covers is getting a bit old and expensive. Feels like a massive money grab/rip off if all that has changed is the coloring i.e. sketch, fade, copic, partial color/sketch, virgin cover.

In saying that, there have been some really good ones of late. 

When will the Mattina signing be happening?

My grail was Carnage USA #1 Ramos variant in "9.8". I think the last time I checked there were 8 on the CGC registry in "9.8" and only one or two more in graded condition.

I looked and looked for ages and could only ever find it raw and for $100 to $150 upwards. I eventually saw one (CGC 9.8) on eBay for auction and hardly anyone had bid on it. I though this will sell for a couple of hundred at least and put in a bid of $105 just for a laugh. A few days later turns out that I won the auction. I can't tell you how happy I was. Turns out though that it isn't really a grail comic for anyone else but me. Hahahahahaha.

I'm OK with that though because I own what is a grail to me  

I purchased three sets of the four set Unknown Comics Jean Grey #1 Mattina combo almost a month ago.  It cost me what you are offering for the set in "CGC 9.8" which is what I am ultimately after. I will be so dirty if I don't get at least one of each in "9.8" quality. I am now wishing I would have just waited to see this thread  

This was the first time in years that I have purchased raw comics unseen.  

1 "CGC 9.8 SS" as per PM.

Cheers mate.

I can remember seeing a "9.8" on eBay many years ago for about $400. Wish I had have bought it.

I remember seeing a lot of comics years ago for a lot less though. Wish I had a Delorean and could go back and buy them

This is long over due,

I have now done a number of purchases through Dre/BeachBum (For a couple of years now) and have been more than happy with all of them.

If you are a "9.8 Purist", like most of us are, Dre can hook you up.

I will continue to do business with him and recommend him to those who haven't yet.

I wold like to jump in here and give a big thanks to Curtis/Zacreth.

I have purchased a few books from him now and have more with him. You couldn't find a better guy to deal with.

I can't recommend him enough. Great seller and someone I am continuing to do business with.

The Jean Grey covers are looking pretty good IMO.

I think Cover A looks the best but is there also a 4th cover that isn't being shown, a convention only cover?

A question for more experienced members; If you got one of the re-marked copies and had it graded, would it be a green label because it wouldn't have been witnessed by CGC? My guess is yes.

I'm going to have to pass on the Grey simply because I've been spending way too much money. I only collect CGC 9.8 and had been getting three 3-cover sets to try to ensure I'd get at least a 9.8 for each cover and then try to offset some costs -- but that hasn't worked out.

If he only put out a book a month I'd have no problem -- but they come out way too often for my wallet lately.

I haven't purchased a raw comic in such a long time, a few years, until just recently. I purchased three sets of the Unknown Comics Jean Grey, Venomized Mattina covers in the hope of getting one "9.8" of each. I will likely do the same with the JSC Jean Greys but if i remember from back when I last purchased raw comics, the chances aren't good. If I don't get at least one "9.8" of each with these raw comics purchased I doubt I will buy raw again. I will just stick to purchasing them graded at "9.8" from here.

There is never a mention of his "first appearance". I got CGC to change the notation for Venom vs Carnage from "nothing" to "Patrick Mulligan becomes Toxin". Their reasoning for not putting "first appearance" in a response to my inquires, was that Toxin is a symbiote and a spawn from Carnage, meaning that his first true appearance would be considered in the first appearance of Carnage. 

Which to me doesn't make sense, that would mean every symbiote on Earth couldn't hold a first appearance title since they all came from Venom.

So, I fought for about a month with CGC about this before finally just excepting the notation.

Carnage was a spawn from Venom as well.

I agree that there should be a first appearance notification for Toxin.

All it says on the CGC label is Black Cat Appearance nothing about First Toxin App.

That is correct.

There is never a mention on any of them that it is his first appearance.

I hate trying to make that series to form a set its really hard to find in general.

 

This set is a hard one to complete. Just this week I completed it (All CGC 9.8) with #1 being the last one I needed. 

According to the census there are plenty of #1's out there but only a few #2's and about 4 each of #3 & #4. CGC 9.8 that is.

#1 - 1st appearance of Patrick Mulligan

#2 - 1st appearance of Toxin

#3 - Toxin appearance

Note: #2 - Pat Mulligan is seen transforming into toxin, toxin is seen and the name "toxin" is given to the symbiote by Carnage or Venom (can't remember who) 

This community has given 1st appearance status to other characters for even less reasons or evidence. Basically, #2 is the 1st appearance of Toxin. 

This is correct but CGC hasn't put the first appearance of Toxin on them, only the first appearance of Patrcik Mulligan on #1 and that he becomes Toxin.

Toxin First Appearance Discussion

I have read on a couple forums that Venom vs Carnage 3 is supposed to be Toxins first full app, however on the CGC labels, they say otherwise. Which case is correct? And which Venom vs Carnage is infact the true first app of Toxin? Is there a reason why 3 would be his first app but CGC doesn't recognize it as so, or is CvV 2 the true first app?

#3 is the first full appearance of Toxin.

I am currently trying to find CGC 9.8 quality books of his first solo series.  I have #1 in CGC 9.8 and maybe a copy of #5 that could go close if pressed and graded but have not had any luck in getting the others in a grade close to that.
