    Got a slabbed 8.5 error newsstand, one of around 2-3 known to exist... but I'm a Venom diehard and have held on to it for years.  Feels good to own something that rare.

    And yup, has the residual red foil. Given the error supply hasn't been increasingly abundant, seems CGC caught on to the fakes.

    The all black error is an amazing book.   I’m jealous I don’t have one anymore but it’s hard to know which are legit and which are the “fakes”.  I mean technically they are legit books just made to be the black error.  But then there are legit black errors from the printing press.

    Perfect reason to never own one

    This is what stopped me from reaquiring one but I do know legit ones do exist as when the book came out, I was in my local card store that sold comics and he pulled one straight from the bundle of comics he had gotten in. If my memory is right he sold it for $20 but this was in 1993 and I was about 8 years old then. I didn’t have the money for one and the red chrome called to me.  So I grabbed the red chrome version that my parents bought for me

    As a relatively new acquirer of a copy I’ve heard rumour of fakes though was lead to believe they’re completely black with no residual foil. Does that seem correct from what you saw?

    Researching the subject provides very little information.

    Yea all the ones he showed me by pics were completely black.  Some had a slight outlining of the red chrome left but most were all black

    Get back in touch with your contact - ask him to make you one. $4500 now 😬 

    Wasn’t really a contact I just happened to meet him at local comic book store and thought he was bull sh*tying me.   But after he sent those pics, I have to take him at his word.  No way he could have 20 plus raw black error prints in a pile ready to be sent to cgc and then have a few graded 9.8 and 9.6.   He did tell me he mostly sent high grade copies in to be graded.  With that said, I wouldn’t want the “fake” one, I’d want a legit error for my collection and wouldn’t want to be part of passing off a fake for a legit one

    Yes.. I was talking w other ebay sellers and yes the past couple weeks are reflective of that slowdown.. a mix of reopening/no current MCU show/ebay's horrible system updates.. but I think mainly reopening.. that means saved up money that was supposed to be spent on vacations is being spent on that vs comics.. also the prices of everything went up.. groceries, hardware, gas, etc

    This is what I’m thinking and the probability of a recession coming on due to the overprinting of money causing inflation

    Not to me at least. Its still pretty steady I think I am slightly down to this month compared to last month, but
    last month was an all time sales high for me.  On top of that child credits will start hitting soon.
    When unemployment checks end in July I think is the real test to see if this market is artificial
    or real. What do others think?

    I hope you’re right.  I’ve been watching hulk 181’s and seems like the prices are decreasing on the grades I was watching
