Yeah, it's too bad there are no Options there for 1000 at a unit price of $0.299.

Lots of comic "sellers" from China aren't faking slabs, they're just stealing pictures and scamming you. I hope your mom opens the packages and knows how to verify the contents.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you are completely insane.

Covers are not appearances. This was always true, but is even more true in the age of variant stupidity.

Do you remember the first glimmers of Newsstand hype? A handful of issues, like Spawn 1, with notable sales on feeBay. Years later, a few people started hyping Newsstands in general and, over time, their ludicrous, false hype numbers insidiously spread everywhere. Of course, those few people absolutely did not and do not have hoards of Newsstands they bought for cheap and would never even consider selling any of their priceless treasures.

What?

But you only acquire an issue or two per year because they're so impossible to find that they practically don't exist, right?

Current prices are a self-fulfilling prophecy. Unfortunately, the prophets are actually lying hucksters.

Of course, but ASM 238 and FF 252 plainly state on the cover that they come with Tattooz, so they are missing something they are supposed to have, regardless of the reason. Why do you keep ignoring the fact that two, and only two, issues are meant to have the insert, which means they are incomplete without it? Having something extra, like an insert that wasn't meant for all copies or an extra page, doesn't and shouldn't affect the grade.

The answer is very, very simple: Some copies of other issues may have the insert, but those are manufacturing errors.

The only way they might print the covers and interiors together is if they use the exact same paper and there is only one version of the issue.

Clear enough to definitively say it was drawn on post-production.

So go look at it. Comichron has all the information you want.

Well, it's supply AND demand, as always. Ignoring the quality of the actual contents of the issues, which comic is more meaningful: one that sells for a lot because of very small supply or one that has little monetary value because the supply is even larger than the very large demand?

That is the exact problem here. Meaningless to illiterate clowns who collect chunks of plastic to compensate for their tiny ? Who cares? They are the ones who are meaningless.

That really doesn't make it any better.

It has nothing to do with any specific day.

Marvel isn't boxed in by continuity. Marvel wiped their with any semblance of real continuity decades ago. Nothing they do matters because nothing they do matters. That is their problem (related to continuity)

Magenta first, yellow second. I'm not entirely sure whether this is printing or fading, but I am sure that it's fugly.

So nothing but a poor inference? That's what I thought.

Source?

Okay, that's better. Interesting.
