  1. Are UK price variants really that rare? The market for Marvel Comics has been pretty strong in the UK since the 60's.
  2. 45K for a mis wrap? A mis stake on the part of the buyer I would say.
  3. Maybe its the fourth appearance in 'Marvel Time' not real time. In Marvel Time Secret Wars 8 is the first appearance, even though in real time it was published 7 months after ASM 252.
  4. Is there much interest in UK price variants? Are they as sought after and/or rare as the Canadian ones?
  5. With that in mind, would people expect the actual quantities of Newstand to Direct copies that were actually published be comparable? Presumably the only real difference would then be the mentality of the person that originally purchased the book, with direct copies being sold bagged and boarded and generally better protected.
  6. Definitely a nice find. Not many pages pop up from the first Romita Jr X-Men run these days.
  7. That is a sweet page! Love mohawk storm I bet this one set you back a pretty penny...auction win?
  8. The corners are not super sharp, so I'm guessing it would come back a 9.4
  9. Is there a specific reason for the lack of 9.8's prior to 2009? I have quite a few pre Unity valiants that I have also never got around to getting graded. Is there something i should look for on the harbinger 1 that would stop it getting a 9.8?
  10. So at this point its still fair to say that Valiant remains pre Unity or nothing as far as desirable books go?
  11. Has the release of the Bloodshot movie had any effect on comic values? I have long had a perfect raw copy of Bloodshot 1, but never considered sending it to CGC for grading. Might now be the time?
  12. Thanks for posting this V. Most enlightening👍
  13. I don't know if its been mentioned in this thread already, as I am new to it, but I have a question on the newstand editions. I have been reading that there is a big market this year in particular for newstand editions over direct editions on Copper books. Is that across the board, or on some books in particular? Also, anyone have the numbers on how many newstand editions exist vs. the direct ones?
  14. Wow...I am so out of the loop I only just found this Fantastic stuff Felix!!
  15. That is extremely unlikely to happen. Killing Joke is a story containing Batman and the Joker, two of the most iconic figures in comic book history. Miracleman 15 is a story containing... ...well you get my point.
