  1. Don't believe the hype. Newsstands are not as rare as certain people claim and most people don't care about them.
  2. No, very few later printings in the history of comics have Newsstands.
  3. That's a production error, not a variant. It's difficult to guess how much an error will affect the value, especially with little or no sales history available for most.
  4. That's not true. There was demand for reprinting the Death in the Family issues, but DC's solution was to instead quickly release a TPB, which was definitely not common practice at that time. Ultimately, it came down to demand (from the distributors) and willingness (from the publishers). For decades in the industry, reprints were extremely rare. In the earlier years of direct distribution, publishers were still reluctant to immediately reprint due to the success of individual issues. By the 90s, that reluctance had disappeared, though it did pop up again occasionally. Special printings for things like multipacks were a different thing.
  5. Where did you get that from? That's not even close to what he wrote.
  6. That's the standard in the legal system (as it should be). If you think that has ever really been the cultural standard, you need to go study some history rather than wasting time here.
  7. So it's totally legitimate and not at all suspicious to give out three different email addresses?
  8. There's nothing wrong with streamable (at least last time I looked), but yeah, this is a bad look for the OP.
  9. How many people have ever disclosed restoration on books they've submitted to CGC? Probably a tiny number, whose books were not graded any more favorably than everyone else's books. The seller already screwed you, now he's screwing with you.
  10. My answer was comical? I'll try to dig up a current bag (although I wouldn't use them for anything, some people I've bought from have) and put a later Bronze (I already acknowledged that early Bronze is larger) Marvel in it, but you then have to show me a 7"+ wide Copper comic. A standard Copper issue, no TMNT or any other funny business. And here it is: 1975 Marvel in a garbage bag. Yes, it barely fits and is far too tight for my liking. That's why I don't use them. 1975 Marvel in a Current bag and board on top of a 1973 Marvel in a Silver bag and board. That's an actual, significant size difference.
  11. The problem is that you're frequently combative and dismiss the correct answers people give you to your questions, even when the answers are so simple that it should be nearly impossible to not understand them.

  13. Excuse me? I posted a simple fact to correct your erroneous initial post and you spit in my face and told me I was the one who didn't know what he was talking about. You are in no position to tell experienced people like me that you know better than us, yet you just can't stop doing it at every opportunity. Your ignorance is not as good as or better than my knowledge. You are the jerk.
  14. As I've posted before (years ago): "Death/Archangel first appears as a monochrome background character (with the rest of the Horsemen) in 21, followed by multiple panels in shadow in 22, then shows his new form and abilities in 23. Then he gets the cover of issue 24, in which his change is revealed to X-Factor. Various characters call him Death, Death Angel, Dark Angel, etc. until he is named "Archangel" by the Beast at the end of issue 38." Warren Worthington III was not a new character and X-Factor 23 fully showed how he had been transformed.
  15. Are you talking about the minor miscuts of the FF and ROM (being slightly wider at the top and bottom, respectively) which can be best seen in the first image? I acknowledged that with "within acceptable production variance" earlier, because there will often be at least minor differences in size between different comics. I know you at least know that comic manufacturing never approached perfection. Also, you know that CGC's "Modern Age" tier of 1975 to current is because of this as well, right? 1975 wasn't chosen at random. Absolutely. Standard comic books in the 80s were not 7+ inches wide. EDIT: This thread is relevant to this tangent as well.
