  1. Hey guys,

    Does anybody have an idea of the actual number of 35 cent variants there are of each issue? I've heard of 20-50 thrown around for the average book - is that valid at all? I've heard anywhere from 200 to 2000 for the big ones (like SW #1).

  2. I would definitely go the flea market route. I lived in Nashville during undergrad, and most of variant stuff is quite picked over. The best I've found at any of the shops are a 30 cent Avengers 148 in fine and a 30 cent Daredevil 133 in fine.

    On a similiar note, I realize that the price variants are hard to find, but I've still found about 10 along my stretch of I-65 (From Nashville to Montgomery and including Tuscaloosa) in the past 4-5 years. Does this seem to be anymore or less than normal? I would think that with two test locations (Nashville and Tuscaloosa/Birmingham) within 3 hours of each other, the variants would be a little more prevalent, but I guess the issues have just spread out more from here.

    Let me know if you do find anything-good luck!!!

  3. I know!!! And I lived in Nashville for 5 years before moving to Birmingham and I never saw one!

    The best luck I have had was in Montgomery growing up. I found a 35 cent Iron Fist 15 (gd....so not great, but still cool) in a fifty cent box. I also picked up a 35 cent Star Wars in VG there, but I paid book.
