    That is why it is irresponsible to just make a number up like 1:100. 1:100 is just a much speculation as any other number you could just make up, so it is best to not use a made up number at all and just say newsstand, which denotes a different distribution method and little else.

    Happy to take this offline. Let’s not derail the Kamala thread any further. Cool?

    Captain Marvel #14 is one of the worst "1st" appearances out there. "Kamala" appears in one panel in her civilian identity.

    This is the extent of it, folks:

    The only reason anyone knows this is even Kamala Khan is because someone from Marvel said it was. 

    The appearance in Captain Marvel #17 is a little better, but not much:

    She isn't named and that's not how her powers work, but her logo is there so I guess that's her?

    IMO All-New Marvel Now Point One is the book to have. There's an entire Kamala Khan Ms. Marvel story where she is named and is in costume.

    I don’t disagree. We actually posted a 9.8 copy of the McNiven Variant. I believe that is 1:75 but can’t confirm. Last I checked there were 11 on the CGC Census in 9.8. This is also a really fun rare Kamala! 

    This weekend we are going to post pics of all our Kamala “1sts” which should be cool as I don’t believe I have seen another pic with all the different versions.

    If you're going to say something is "estimated to be" something, say who is doing the estimate from the start, so people can evaluate how trustworthy the source is. Anyone can make an estimate. Doesn't mean it's right.

    Certainly in a more formal blog or post, I would see your point, but we are talking about a social media post. I sited the source here when requested. 

    Again, I’m not trying to sell or profit from this, I was just excited to share this with the community. I’m a bit surprised by the amount of friction in doing so. I am new to this forum so maybe it is ost residue, but I would have hoped this place would be a bit welcoming given the subject matter. 

  4. Thank you. I read through the thread, but I was hoping to find a source for factual information rather than speculation. It seems even throughout the thread you mentioned there are simply no hard numbers out there. Regardless, thanks for chiming in and posting the link. I don’t want to derail this Kamala thread, but we will be posting some really cool “Kamala firsts” this weekend. If anyone is interested, feel free to check out the IG at our previously listed link. We are HUGE Kamala fans!

  5. Here are two additional articles relevant to this conversation.  If anyone has any others, please feel free to chime in. Please keep it positive.  No need for salt among friends.

    Newsstand Estimates:

  6. Do either of you who have responded have another data source about which I am unaware with a different number? I am trying to do research around this. I can pull every completed listing over the past few years and come up with a percentage, but again, based on my own personal experience, that number seems to be pretty accurate (if not generous) for this particular book. If there is another data source, that would be extremely helpful.

     Sellers that still sell newsstands using the "1:100 lie"...... :whatthe:  

    I'd stay away from them.

    Not selling any of mine. Just doing research and trying to make a positive contribution to the community.

    Where are you getting this 1:100 ratio for a newsstand?

    Hi,the 1:100 is based on an estimate from an article from Mile High comics referenced in the post series. 

    Based on my years of hunting this particular copy, I’d say that is a reasonable estimate for 2012-2013  

     

  8. I am selling off a few key books from my collection. Normal rules apply. 

    No returns, payment plans, or trades on this one. 

    Asking $11,500 with shipping and PayPal included. 

    I also have a 9.6 WP (not signed) I may be persuaded to give up as well.  Feel free to reach me by phone or text at 916-333-8999. I’m on the West Coast so please allow for any time difference. 

    I am relatively new to selling on this forum but am happy to provide references from members here with whom I have had positive transactions. 

     

    Sincerely,

    Mike
