  1. Nope All the "other" issues of NP I have are posted, but neither #1's, I guess that time has passed....
  2. I have my Nintendo Power #1 reg copy in this thread, it is now up to 300+ I looked at the Nintendo Power #1 sample I recently got back, it is currently at 89 slabs for CGC
  3. haven't seen you post in a while. If "renewing" specifically, yes to save $20, then also yes because if it is the premium membership you'd get the credit to use in a years time. I would, because of emergency grading. Within a year time from bin diving I at least find one or two that I want to send. That said, I mostly buy slabs, but then I'd want the cushion to buy raws with the credit! I AM mostly a slab collector (don't often sell them) so bear that in mind. If you're comfortable with raws and waiting then do that, but it really is your mode of collecting that "I think" would determine.
  4. Anyway I'll just wait to see the final tally, me interjecting will only exacerbate any collective thought or understanding as I'm not as informed. Yall were doing well
  5. I guess on both of ours the comic is still between the tab and slab, so I may have misspoke in my previous post. With mine there is not a lot of comic between tab or slab, I'm not really sure what is keeping it from moving inward toward the tab though. Idk It is weird. I tried to see if it would move over, but it IS in there pretty snug. Type your innuendo here. eek
  6. I can only speak to mine or my TMNT, but. Same size case as a normal modern comic, nothing new in size just positioned to the right. At first I thought that too, "oh snap they put it in a magazine case", but no, I wouldn't have even noticed the new inner well...however I've seen the tab on the back before to "keep a comic" from doing whatever, but what strikes me as odd, is that tab usually lays over the comic or the comic is between the tab and the case. @CGC Mike that said and being the "case" no pun intended, these positioned alt right seem like if shaken comic syndrome were to happen would slip under the "tab" if there is room in this one causing damage. Unless this tab has no room between it and the case. All very confusing. Edit added the pic
  7. Ya it threw me off, as there wasn't really a "reason" that I knew of for mine, only found one other at the time on eBay to compare it too. I agree or would say it seems random.
  8. ah been so long since I read the 1st post I forgot for a second
  9. I can just hear the Ebay Buyers now making claims of seller sending the "wrong book" This sounds like a market place nightmare, if it was exactly the same or am I missing something? @Jesse-Lee
  10. The twentieth of July ie tomorrow, you'll get confirmation when you get your pm from CGC mike, I've received mine
  11. True. In an example of what may prevail, I think it will be more to the individual interests for a long time to come, due to there being so much of this within the hobby, ie., labeling of categories with apps and registry sets and etc The rest I wrote, because it was good for me to come to an understanding of what order I collected More therapy than rant, but here as further examples in spoiler!
  12. In short. What WAS notated by cgc were "price newsstand editions" and some newsstand editions as an exception, but when now every "regular newsstand" is an "edition." It is a bit convoluted and kind of spoils any nuance. Edit to say, unless we are thinking there is no such thing as a "regular newsstand" from the beginning? In that the direct "editions" word is now being added to the term on the newsstand? The question of, "why is it a newsstand?" Will be here for quite some time. Not to complicate things, because it is already complicated
  13. Question ❓ Is the Marvel Super Special #16 a mag size lke the Weekly #129? Making #42 the first "comic appearance?"
  14. Thanks. It feels like the right time to get this kind of video done, since CGC announced newsstand labeling last year, but they haven't put them on the CGC Census yet. It was 5 years ago when some generic information was posted on Newsstand101.com (and DirectEdition101.com) but I doubt if it has gotten the kind of viewing that a short video on YouTube could manage. Plus, I've only recently learned how to make videos. Because no one asked, but to offer another point of view: I bought what was available and seemingly comfortably priced at the time, back when it was neck and neck. A few newsstands would end up higher, everyone assumed but asked why, and I think that led to some sticking in higher price. I still somehow think that the higher newsstand price is few and far between, especially when looking at a bigger picture. It is still the thrill of the hunt for me, which sometimes means taking what is AVAILABLE (and whatever that entails price and etc)... being content with what you end up with. I buy newsstand "price editions", as cgc labeled those long ago, but I'm collecting them just because it is unique and stand alone within newsstands. idk though, there were still nuances with those, that I remember most sought the early 2000s, but those are seemingly so scarce for me that I'm comfortable enough in the hunt post 2010. They may be correctly labeled or not, but it is "different enough" that eventually Lord willing they will have their own niche. Long rant to vent.
  15. This is the last of my Nintendo Power, which are raw copies, it's just nice to see something other than WIZARD play so much apart of the action with some detail and posters still attached. Hasn't been explored as much per se, the Ninja Gaiden was a personal favorite although I don't play favorites Here are the last two that are more COMIC RELATED NONETHELESS!! Gaiden is an under copy raw from issue #15 The Dark Sword of Chaos The X-men is from issue #67 X-men Mutant Apocalypse and the Looney Tunes is 56th issue I believe.Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage
