Bought this at the 1981 NY Comic Convention auction for $35.

Another couple from a random box of comics I picked up 25 or so years ago.

Picked these up in a box of random weird comics many moons ago.

Ah ha you guys are good and that explains it perfectly. So all MGC #73`s have this color pattern in the box and it's not some weird variant within a variant. Very cool to know. ☺

Very interesting reading about the history of the direct market diamonds in this thread. Came accross this comic today with a 2 toned yellow and blue diamond. Had never seen anything but black and white diamonds. Is this normal?

Working on Smith Conan's.

Not perfect but still nice.

It's pure genius. The simplicity of the surrounding cover draws you to the center which is the Goblins very dilated eyes and Spidey smacking him down. The perfect say no to drugs cover plus the no comic code authority stamp to give it street cred. Perfection

one of my Favs

here"s some of my silver Fantastics

Just found this Sgt. Rock 329 in my old pile of "junk Comics" actually in pretty decent shape. Here's a scan if you still need one.

Yup back in the Northeast again now. This time on Cape Cod. Saw the post with your map with all the places where one had been found. Do you know or have a guess as to how many of these have been discovered to date?

Just for the record here's the inside of my copy. Seems to have the same date as the regular comic release. Don`t know if that helps with the mystery or not.

Well this is interesting. Was just reading more about the guy with the .35 cent version of 184 and how the theory was that the people at the store might have been sticking them on other books when they ran out of the promotional version. Although that he had it on a 184 would indicate that the promotion came out the same time as the regular book. Makes it a much bigger mystery seeing one on a different book that came out almost a year later than that 184 .35 cent.

I've had this book since I was a kid. Probably picked it up at a flea market or neighbors yard sale somewhere around Stow MA. Before I started collecting. I think I inquired about it at my local comic store once when I started collecting but nobody seemed to know or show much interest so I just stuck it in a bag and box with the rest of my beloved and often read and beat up comics till I was digging around recently and found it again.

Just got finished looking through my comic collection after a 30 Year hiatus from doing much of anything with it and it seems I have one of these. Pretty beat up but I guess you guys are saying it's very rare. Looking to get some of my more valuable books graded and encased by CBC. Should this one be at the top of my list even though it's in not so great shape?
