PPSSM 7                                     7.5                             OW/W                                   $ 60  …...PRICE VARIANT

 

 

Hang in there, Joe. Don't rush the process.

I have always thought the heads in the LRH corner of these two were oddly similar, esp. since they are only four issues apart. 

This sort of investment vehicle could possibly be considered a "security" under the laws of many states, and therefore subject to the securities regulations of the states where it is offered for sale.  I wonder if the persons who are offering this great opportunity considered that. 

Spectacular Spider-Man #64, 03/1982 - first Cloak And Dagger. 

Is this SS 4 with the UK price on the Surfer's board considered a pence variant or a US book with a stamp on it?  How does the value of such books compare to the same books without the stamps?  Thank you

The original Marvel Giant Size titles had two other such name changes:

1.  Giant Size Chillers (Featuring The Curse Of Dracula) #1 became Giant Size Dracula with #2 (to make things slightly more confusing, there was then a second Giant Size Chillers title which started with #1).

2.  Giant Size Super-Stars #1 (Featuring Fantastic Four) became Giant Size Fantastic Four with #2.

Both very succinct, philosophical and insightful observations about the current, ennui-inducing speculation market. 

Exactly. The reason I posted  was I had a 30 cent variant listed on eBay for a while with an OBO with no real interest. Then in a short time, I had 5 watching and someone bought it without making an offer. I figured there must have been some rumor or news which caused the interest, but I found none. 

Champions 7, first app. Yuri Petrovich, seems to be getting more interest. Obviously a Black Widow-related character, but I can't find anything about that character being in Black Widow.  Is Yuri Petrovich in Black Widow?

The indicias in UK Price Variants are always in cents androolx. Some early Marvels have some additional regional UK distributor details added, but there are no pence prices in any book indicia for any of the seven known publishers. There is a page in my journal showing all the various Thorpe & Porter indicia types in the early Marvels if you're interested. 

 Wow, more than I asked for, but all of it is very interesting  info!   Thanks!   As always, you have provided well articulated,  thorough information.

Looking at the Captain America 187 I found in a dollar bin 3 days ago... identical to the US, or at least it shows the price in US currency, not pence.

 Thanks for checking on that!👍

Does the indicia in UK versions show the price in British currency or is it identical to US versions?  Thx

I recently found this in the wild at a LCS.  I later noticed the printing error between the "I" and "N" of "THING" on the front cover (see pic).   I did a little quick research and all the 35¢ variants I found had the defect (as did all the Mark Jeweler insert copies, Whitman variants and UK edition copies).  All the 30¢ copies I found did not have the defect, except for one copy (possibly a MJ insert copy?).  Does anyone have a 35¢ variant without the defect?

Good price on that Rawhide Kid 133. Tough book.

Thanks.  The seller knew it was a rarer price variant but did not title the listing as such, and knocked a considerable amount off the OBO asking price.

Thor 248 NBS Variant cover art is very different from cover art on other Thor 248 covers (see below).
  Are any other Philippine issues like that?

Personally I have found about 10 of ASM #169 in the wild for under $10.

Depends on location and luck.

SW#1 would seem to be the most common by CGC census.

 

8 days after you posted, I found this hiding on eBay.

$665 was NOT ENOUGH.

 

It was a shock to me.  I thought it would go for over $500, but definitely not over $700, based on what a raw one sold for on eBay about a year ago.
