The direct market began in the early 1970s, but comics still had only one version until the mid-late 1970s. The defacement of comics by barcodes began in the mid-70s.

Yes. No. Good luck. CGC's notes for the issue can be found in the Census entry for the issue here. By the way, CGC does not take kindly to images of their competitor's products being posted on here. You might want to edit your post and remove it.

Does @Artboy99 look that good in the suit?

If the books were printed in Canada, any inserts would have been there as well, as they were for all the books that were printed in Canada and have inserts.

Your actual responsibility as a seller is to accurately represent your inventory. The things you mention are things you want to do to have a successful business.

Yes. No orange Sentinels in Classic X-Men 7.

It doesn't matter where they were printed. This is an assembly error.

What's the new part? It's apparent now that this is a common manufacturing error rather than a random one.

Here is a more recent, similar thread. Just make sure your head isn't near any hard objects or surfaces when you reach #15.

Well, he did say significantly important rather than popular, valuable, notable or anything else.

GPA is simply a record of past sales from specific venues.

The watchers all try to sell their copies!

Of course. All you have to do is send the properly sealed slab with that label to CGC.

That's the only thing I remember about this garbage character. I just went back to the issue's time of release to find the post.

Yes, you did.

Yeah, you're not the one who said he was banned from here.

Which, of course, is not meant in any way that has anything to do with this topic, but your previous post was still funny.

I don't think you're one of the Newsstand hoarders, just that you're playing right into their hands. Direct edition hoards are hardly infinite, though they certainly exist for many issues. But nobody is generally hyping Direct editions as special or rare and when from any of the endless hype sites (or even here as we've seen too often) try to pump and dump specific issues, they are rightfully called out when people are actually paying any attention to their .. Keeping copies for later sales as back issues was never the whole point of the direct market, though it was a point. But the extent of that varies wildly across the spectrum of comic shops and has also changed over time.

No more connection to Ditko than Galactus' robot has to Frank Castle or the loser who debuted and died in Nick Fury #15 has to Ben Poindexter.

Who's "we" here? If you don't already know that there are multiple people with large hoards of Newsstands, I don't know what could convince you.

I have edited my previous post so it cannot possibly cause any confusion.

1. The Census can't be counted on and never really could be. It just is what it is. 2. That would be too much work and cost for CGC to ever seriously consider. 3. Everybody would have to participate for it to have any value. 4. It would be too easy to manipulate.

"Spots" is definitely not an accurate descriptor. It's due to the interior cover ad and some combination of off-gassing, microchamber paper and how the image was created. This image clearly shows the white-outlined boxes of the black ad through the cover.

Not really, since there have always been those without easy access to comic shops, fluctuating with store openings and closures of comic shops in some areas and remaining pretty static in others.
