Subby1938

I’m done here

No it’s rarity for high grade books . Most dealers don’t have 9.8s in numbers so when they come to auction like ASM 301 I posted a pic of the prices surge because of demand .

It’s not spec anymore buddy . It’s been few years of this now and high grade newsstands out perform directs The newsstand was just that a comic that was manhandled at 7/11 stores etc and probability of perfect books is low ASM 238,239,252,298,299,300,301,316,361 are great examples of huge premiums that’s just spiderman

It’s about copper Newsstands so does it not fit into criteria buddy?

Look at last sale of 9.8 Canadian . It was 7500.00 USD nothing hokum there my friend . Sales don’t lie . So my stats are slightly off so what . I didn’t expect to get attacked this morning on threads for stating the obvious . For huge keys in 9.8 newstands they are premium compared to regulars and Canadian versions even more . Bye now Could care less about that dive Winnipeg or Doug’s opinion . Sales data are there .

Shhhhhhhh

No value at all lmao

Thanks

You in can trust this . They are 1% of total run . I live here . In Canada you had three major city hubs for comics , Vancouver , Toronto , Montreal . Finding high grade 9.8 Canadians is next to impossible . Hence the major major premiums keys get . You don’t have to collect Canadian but if it was hulk 181 variant it would be all the rage

In 9.8 they are tough some are rare . Throw in price variant to boot and you can get some htf comics . GIJOE 21 Canadian variant 9.8 ghost Swamp Thing ( 1st Constantine Canadian ) zero in census in 9.8

I picked this a while back for $400.00 Canadian . I don’t see many high grade newsstand versions come up . Any info or value on this as I’m actually kinda lost . I know 9.8 sells for crazy money now

I have two copies of that one . A 9.8 and another I’m waiting on that looked as good as my graded one ….

I guess we wait and see. I’m more curious what happens now with 9.6-9.8 second and third prints

How did you go about getting a commission from Bret?

I don’t know about a million . That would be entering realm of detective comics 27, marvel comics 1 , Superman 1 . I don’t think it’s that caliber of comic . It’s rare in 9.8 those other comics are rare period . Like less than 50 copies or something like that .

Until what? Next announcements in MCU and then it doubles again . The whole industry is going to take a punt in the nuts if this doesn’t stop imo

Submariner 6 (1968 John Buscema ) Submariner 6 (Recreation Esad Ribic 2021)

I’d sell so fast at these prices I’m not kidding . Buy low grades if I could if I couldn’t who cares . It’s the price of a house ( more tangible as an asset than the comic ) . Anything could happen and poof value just drops

On Instagram a collector just posted a 9.8 first printing set…

Not published art but a special piece imo. Last September I secured a spot to get another Esad Ribic piece . I knew what I wanted without a shadow of a doubt . I kept quiet and waited . Today I was sent scans of my finished art. Sub-Mariner 6 ( 1968 ) recreation , an hommage to what is easily my fav cover in Namor’s SA run. A fitting tribute to John Buscema’s original . The idea was to capture the unmistakable feel of the original in a modern tone . I asked that the scene be made to look like it was underwater . Esad did John Justice here . A stunner

14” x 20” approx I measured my framed Ribic Doom & Namor piece it’s 13.5” x 19” that’s because the framing hid a little of paper edge . I believe the single figure commission is slightly smaller than two character but don’t quote me on that

His schedule gets tight with work he has to do with Marvel and limited cons. I ordered this last September so it’s been a long wait . He does his absolute best to hook fans up. He will honour any commissions he takes on but there was no set time to receive them . If you’re cool with that it’s worth the wait imo. I need one more to finish my silver age Namor trilogy ….

Sub-mariner 6 Recreation by Esad Ribic Art was done July 27/2021 at Anthony’s Comicbook Art shop (in house) in New Jersey. It was a special event where Esad flew in to catch up on commissions that were delayed due to Covid and his obligations at Marvel doing the Eternals comics . I’m very happy with the result . The only direction I gave was it had to be identifiable as Subby 6 cover and I wanted his take on it ( modern version ) so the scene to take place underwater . He did a great job . One of my fav artists out there .

Love this copy and also an issue I need for my run . Low grade is fine by me if image on cover is clean not much missing in terms of paper . Jealous

Need to get one of these back in PC . Low grade is fine by me .
