  1. It doesn't matter where they were printed. This is an assembly error.
  2. What's the new part? It's apparent now that this is a common manufacturing error rather than a random one.
  3. Here is a more recent, similar thread. Just make sure your head isn't near any hard objects or surfaces when you reach #15.
  4. Well, he did say significantly important rather than popular, valuable, notable or anything else.
  5. Of course. All you have to do is send the properly sealed slab with that label to CGC.
  6. 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.
  7. Which, of course, is not meant in any way that has anything to do with this topic, but your previous post was still funny.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. I have edited my previous post so it cannot possibly cause any confusion.
  12. 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.
  13. "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.
  14. 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.
  15. I think you misread what he wrote there. He was asking about the serious collectors who did not have easy access to comic shops.
  16. It's an issue with the size of the book. CGC will do what they feel is necessary to keep it secure in the case, in this case with a wedge.
  17. There are many possibilities. There are also no guarantees that a comic will stay the same grade with even a straight resub.
  18. None of them are really that low, but if you're going to claim the last issue is relatively low, you have to acknowledge that many other issues are as well.
  19. No kidding. CGC has recognized Canadian Newsstands (regardless of whatever poor terminology they've used) since they opened (or close enough), but around half the slabs in this decade-old thread aren't properly labeled. What numbers? The CGC Census does not yet reflect the full recognition of Newsstands that CGC finally implemented. We already know that the previous arbitrarily-recognized Newsstands have poor numbers because they weren't recognized until well after the first submissions.
