  1. And the last book for tonight. VG copy of Jungle Comics 99. In my opinion the greatest bondage cover of the run and in the conversation for the best Golden Age bondage cover. Also never available for sale. $500
  2. Fair/Good copy of Jungle 52. Looks nicer but cover detached, lots of tears. VERY tough book to find. Oh, and more bondage. Sold! to DJDemarco
  3. This. By calling them newsstands you give the unscrupulous seller a way to market books AND the uneducated buyer confusion. Be very emphatic. Prior to (roughly) 1977 there were only comic books.
  4. That's what I mean. Many sellers indicate a book is a "newsstand" as if it was something special. No, slappy, the only copy of Fantastic Four 165 - just as an example - is a newsstand.
  5. While I don't disagree with you that they are not "newsstand" books and are different, they were not "direct" books in the same way that post 1979 Marvels were. We are very much splitting hairs here but want to be accurate.
  6. That's because they're the same book. I disagree with @valiantman on this.
  7. The FF 179 with the diamond is NOT a "direct edition" as we know it - it was in a Whitman pack. I would absolutely not call that book a "direct sale edition" as it wasn't, and to say it was is just wrong.
  8. Just to be clear, there are MANY sellers who state books are "newsstands" when there was (1) no such thing as a "direct" version of the book and (2) in some cases there was no such thing as the "direct market" at the time. You may want to make a blanket statement in there somewhere about that.
  9. That's all for tonight! Will not have books tomorrow, but will list some more on Wednesday. Thanks all for looking.
