    Here's one I got back a few weeks ago. Not only is the cover artist wrong, but they got the variant of the issue wrong.

    Some random favorites from the 90s that I got back from CGC (and one I found on mycomicshop.com).

    And a few more Hickmans I got back yesterday.

    A few more Hickman Fantastic Fours (and 1 from the 90s) I just got back.

    I do if it is a run I have fond memories for. I've been trying to put together Hickman's run on Fantastic Four (even though I'm almost positive #600 doesn't exist in newsstand). I know they're not the most collectible issues, but I like preserving them.

    I knew this wouldn't come back 9.8, but I submitted it anyway since I've only ever found 1 of them (the foil cover and newsstand, I've seen a ton of the non-foil, newsstand cover).

    And I finally completed my Venom: Lethal Protector set. It took me a while to find #6 in 9.8.

    Here are some Hickman Fantastic Four's I just got back from CGC.

    A couple I just got.

    A few I've found lately. The X-Men #88 I had graded at CGC, the rest came from various stores.

    Another box came this morning.

    A few more I just got back from CGC. The Spider-Man label doesn't say newsstand although it clearly is (are they leaving it off of custom labels?) and the Spider-Man/ Wolverine label has the title wrong. I'm glad to get the 2nd part of those connecting covers though.

    A few I got recently.

    Yeah, basically the distributor charged a fee when a company wanted to sell a new title so for a while Marvel would sell new titles under some of the cancelled titles name's to save that money. They would ring up under the old title at the register and I assume that made it very difficult to accurately track sales because they did end that practice after a while. I have a bunch of Fantastic Fours that all rang up as Astonishing X-men because FF (during Hickman's run) replaced Fantastic Four, but when it came back FF kept the Fantastic Four title near the barcode.

    I love that Fantastic Four comic and Waid's run was one of my favorites. I do remember buying one of these at a Borders store. I later found the copy shown in this post and luckily it graded at 9.8.
