so thrilled to find and add issues 31 and 32 to my campbell collection... super hard to find 1:15 ratio variants. I've been looking for 3+ years and have never seen a 32 (easier to get my asm688 and asmblackcat1). Theres only one graded example of 31 and 32 in the census, both are 9.6.

neat new glow in the dark cover https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/new-limited-edition-star-wars-and-black-widow-variant-covers-coming-to-nycc-metaverse https://shop.reedpop.com/products/black-widow-3-by-j-scott-campbell

theres one this weekend for those in the DC/MD/VA area. http://shoffpromotions.com/

JSC ✅ Newsstand ✅ 9.8 ✅ me 😊

my only 2, but my favorite of his marvel covers

yes. your reprint is still the first appearance as presented in hulk 181... it's just not the "first edition", original, 1st print, whatever you want to call it. story wise, still the first appearance. asm361 2nd print is still the first appearance of carnage. Its just printed differently (silver ink) than the first printing but agree, why a later printing decides to take off over the original/first printing goes over my head.

Great working with Josh... he's a fair but tough negotiator. Would deal with again!

phew (as I breathe a sigh of relief)... they're offering free shipping

Here's the solicit... I wonder how many stores took up Diamond's offer on reordering 5000 copies in order to get the free ad and Pichelli Sketch, https://www.diamondcomics.com/Home/1/1/3/733?articleID=112249

love that the Danger Girl has the original Another Universe (fka American Entertainment) price sticker.

it wouldn't impact demand, correct. But an increased supply could impact price. It will be interesting to see how many more copies get added to the census over the next few months given the "Miles-Mania" we're in at the moment. How many raws are ppl now sending, or planning, to send to CGC that they were originally not planning to but upon seeing realized prices they figure it's now worth it to... don't know that either But it will be interesting to see where prices land in 3-6 months. Looking at last two 9.8 sales, it would appear that prices are slightly softening given there are 20+ 9.8 copies available on ebay at the moment. Versus the highs of $1,300/$1,400 when there were maybe 4 or 5 9.8s listed. Last BIN was 1145 and last auction was 945 for a 9.8 if that's any indication.

We'll never know but I highly doubt there were only 75K were printed given how copies were distributed. - Anecdotally I heard copies were given away for free with each comic purchased during one of Diamond's variant blow out sales. - Ultimate Fallout 4 was heavily promoted for all printings, here's the ordering terms for the 1st & bagley 2nd print https://www.diamondcomics.com/Home/1/1/3/733?articleID=112249, you got a free Pichelli 2nd print with every order. - the 1:25 incentive variants for Ultimate Fallout 4 were part of the Diamond variant blow out sales as well as distributed in comic packs sold at five and below stores. All this leads me to believe the print run was probably between 100K to 300K ... again we'll never know and I am spitballing. This shows it was initially ordered at nearly the same levels as Flashpoint 4 and ASM 667 https://www.diamondcomics.com/Home/1/1/3/237?articleID=112771 Other resources, - #1 reordered product for a few weeks meaning more was in stock, https://www.diamondcomics.com/Home/1/1/3/117?articleID=112141 https://www.diamondcomics.com/Home/1/1/3/117?articleID=111646 - it was also being reordered as late as December. So Diamond had stock on hand which would not be part of the initial copies sold in August comichron, https://www.diamondcomics.com/Home/1/1/3/237?articleID=116818 - comichron shows 130K (and I also doubt that's 55K 2nd printings if we use the 75K number) sold thru 2011. https://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2011.html ... again, who knows how much Diamond was still sitting on going into 2012 and who knows how many were printed but I am fairly confident it was more than 75K.

beautiful collection. didn't realize how nice all the virgin covers would look assembled like this. wow. great collection and enjoy the story 😀

Think they meant that the $1.95 newsstand is priced different than the $2.50 direct edition, i.e., it's not just a different barcode that distinguishes the newsstand between the direct edition. Would love to see a non-$1.95 newsstand edition (alas, I don't think it exists).

just arrived today after petitioning for a newsstand designation. first in census

just arrived today after sending back to get the correct newsstand label 😁 first newsstand in census!

so now what ?? what's next after spearing your white whale but seriously, congrats!!! guess you can take down the 100 bounty at shoffs

figure with everyone sheltering, time to share some books the asm is a la mole variant and tough to find in grade. luckily the shop owners were at nycc in November and I was able to pick thru their copies for a nice one. just got it back from cgc the black cat was a slab purchase from beachbum. my lcs wasnt able to get a copy so had to go online.

Wow. This one has dropped a lot Either someone got a deal (also on the february 9.8 sale) or this crashed hard. (down 30% from its highs, if I recall, of $3K). https://www.ebay.com/itm/Siege-3-CGC-9-8-Deadpool-Variant-Cover-by-J-Scott-Campbell-1-Avengers-arc/254538021255

whoops didn't read the whole thread... my bad.

Vince from metropolis owns it https://comicbookinvest.com/2017/11/10/visit-to-metropolis-collectibles-and-interview-with-vincent-zurzolo/

I thought long on this one and decided to pass... $130 is too much imo even when the discount code gets you to $110. After tax and shipping you're back at 130 These releases are just too frequent and now that his store has a preferred facilitator/partner and grades their own books, it's tougher to get 9.8 candidates for the personal collection. I love his art but starting to get fatigue on all the releases. Bring it back to just 2 or 3 cover releases that were just 50 or 60 bucks (yea... it's been a while since those )

Would love to see that UXM257 ... for me it'd be my DG Joe 2 Campbell and ANW 1 Bengal

I also think the SS20 would've brought in more. but yea two different pieces
