Has anyone noticed a significant difference in sale prices between the Direct editions and the Newsstand editions?...

Did anyone answer this?

@Mrmg84 

Thanks this helps but i was referring to thundercats #1 where there is a 6th cover o cant put my finger on il have to sort some photos. 

Im thinking its the Canadian print with star logo instead of newsstand but not sure. Just i see this less than the Canadian newsstand. 

Just curiosity question really. Im a first print all the way guy myself

Looking at Thundercats #1 there seems to be more variants than recognised 

First print 65c with star logo

First print 65c newsstand 

Canadian newsstand 75c

2nd print with 75c in marvel M woth star logo

3rd print 75c without Dec written

But what is the 75c variant in a square box not marvel M with starlogo at the bottom. This seems even more rare to me but seems to be marked with the same brush as 2nd print  75c in the marvel M when its clearly different. I see this appear now and then and i think what is this? Anyone know thanks

She ra has the same dilemma. Although mini comics aside. The first actual comic book for secret of the sword 1985.Based around the film but still an actual comoc book that cgc grade. There are some that say its 2014 comic masters of the universe but I think thats more daft than heman dilema seeing as secret of the sword is a real comic 

Would love to see one slabbed. Even of grade 1.0 il take it 😂

Yeah, but looking at what’s going on with Heir to the Empire #1, it’s clear the current criteria for determining “key” and “first appearance” isn’t strictly governed by logic. 
 

I have a soft-spot for the above mini-comic because it was included with the first He-Man figure I got as a kid. And I believe the art in that first mini-book was done by the artist who helped design the characters and did the package artwork. It’s got a great pulp look and the story is more sword-and-sorcery than superhero which I like. 
 

I don’t think the similarities of the DC comic to the characterization and story elements in this mini-book are an accident any more than the similarities to the cartoon. 
 

I’m guessing that when Mattel approached DC about doing a comic they provided DC with the story premise that was going to be in the figure mini-books. While the comic book was in development the cartoon started production and DC was likely asked to start making the comic conform more to the cartoon. So you ended up with this weird amalgamation of the two. 
 

But I agree, think the mini-book is fundamental In establishing who He-Man is and what the rest of that universe is, even though the cartoon version eventually became what most people think of as “standard” He-Man lore. 

I know what you mean, me as a kid looks at that little book remembering the figures and thinks yep that was first. Those little books are rarer and impossible to get in good condition yet no where near the going price of dc #47. Wheres the justice in that 😂 

It does seem to be the introduction of prince adam a lot of people find key. Added with the layout that DC had in traditional comic format. But the art the mini series is great as does mean someone else wrote Heman first.i guess you could say thats a book not a comic. If there was superman book without mentioning clark kent would it still be the first superman. Tough one 😂 

I see most people say the first appearance of He man was dc comics presents #47. But masters of the universe 1981 comic He-man and the power sword was actually his first appearance but some say this does not count. Can anyone explain please

When you say storage, please don't tell me it's a storage facility. 

Haa no i just mean stored away. The walls in my house wont do the comics any favours. With temps and windows

Where can i find yours

Yeah sure i have considered this which looks most likely but just checking of anything existed

Does anyone know where you can get dummy display slabs. I want to display the comics i have in my house without taking the real deals out of storage 

Think i confused a few folk my point was exactly that. Ebay everyone on a 9.8 bender but why

Its clear these are going to be highly collectable in the future. How ever far down the line that will be. But everyone racing for the 9.8s when the 9.9 is the new 9.8. 

Do you think there will end up being 100s of 9.9s

I should have added it looks more of a dent then a scratch. Would have no interest of re slabbing just thinking about when the time comes to sell in future what most people would prefer 

Hi guys just wondering on what people think is better if you have 2 comics same grade and price yet one is off white in a mint slab the other is white in a slab with a noticeable scuff on inside of slab 

Thanks
