Now this is the kind of stuff I LOVE seeing in this thread.

Me likey.

back from CGC (coupon submission)---- ASM 5: 6.5 ASM 4: 6.5 ASM 3 7.5 ASM 2 6.0 TRIMMED.... Ok - not too terribly bad given the lot as a whole - but it had marvel chipping down the side so I did not look too closely at the rest of the cover. In any case - I like to keep a couple books from each decent score -so this one makes the decision pretty easy. Sill a bunch more on another submission (this was a 4 pack coupon sub) - but these were 1st to ship back. Very nice!

Holy krap! They're coming out of the woodwork now.

12 cent price variant (10 cent circle blackened). Oh I see it now. Cool. You can even kind of see the old price. That was done on the printer, or after? Not sure about the printer aspect of things. I know Journey into Mystery #76 is the same way. In both issues (Gunsmoke Western #68 and JIM #76) there are both the 10 cent and 12 cent versions.

Had a good time today at the show. Sold $400-500 worth of books and met about 5-6 people who joined my OKC Area Comic Book Buy, Sell and Trade Facebook group but whom I had never met in person. Also got to see a lot of dealers I had met at previous cons (including OAFCON). Hope to sell a bunch more tomorrow.

Yep. There are actually a number of comics like this: 1) Sensational Spider-Man #27 2) Spectacular Spider-Man #257 3) Spider-Man #91 4) Titans #1 (Direct Edition) 5) Prodigy #1 6) Hornet #1 7) Dusk #1 I know are more but those are what come to mind right now.

I have been wondering about these "game" inserts myself for a while now. I haven't found THAT many books with the inserts in them (I actually have much more with Mark Jewelers inserts in them). Not only are there the Atari inserts, but there are Konami and Nintendo game inserts as well that I have found. I've also found inserts for Major League Baseball and CBS Toon Time (Saturday morning cartoon line-up). As I have found any books with these inserts in them, I've segregated them out for quicker referral. Here's the list of what I have so far: Atari Insert Action Comics #521 Direct Edition (1981) (1st Vixen) Action Comics #521 Newsstand (1981) (1st Vixen) Action Comics #524 Newsstand (1981) Batman #340 Direct Edition (1981) Batman #340 Newsstand (1981) Batman #343 Direct Edition (1982) Daring New Adventures of Supergirl #5 Direct Edition (1983) Daring New Adventures of Supergirl #5 Newsstand (1983) DC Comics Presents #35 Newsstand (1981) DC Comics Presents #42 Newsstand (1982) Superman #375 Newsstand (1982) Konami Insert Darkhawk #9 Direct Edition (1991) Guardians of the Galaxy #18 (1991) Direct Edition Nintendo Insert Guardians of the Galaxy #8 (1991) Direct Edition Major League Baseball Insert Superman #397 Newsstand (1984) CBS Toon Time Insert Action Comics #526 Newsstand (1981) DC Comics Presents #40 Newsstand (1981) Superman #366 Newsstand (1981) As you can see, it doesn't seem to matter whether they were Direct Edition or Newsstand copies as I have 3 cases (Action Comics #521, Batman #340 and Daring New Adventures of Supergirl #5) where both the Direct Edition and Newsstand copies both had the insert in them.

I'm loving this one (still have to buy a copy):

They don't segment them out but I do believe they will note if the book had a Mark Jewelers insert just as they would other variants of note.

I noticed this one has the "ENDED" banner on it. Does that mean it just ended or did it actually sell? Most of the ones I've seen that actually sell have the "SOLD" banner on them. Never mind. I see that it sold as a Buy it Now.

I will be there as a seller this year. It will be my 3rd OAFCON as a seller. It's a great show with lots of comics of all ages. I would guess there are roughly 30 different vendors altogether. Definitely well worth the visit if you can make it.

Love it!

As I stated before, nothing posted in here HAS to be from garage sales, flea markets or antique malls. That was the original intent of the thread, but we all love seeing great comic book /comic related/unique item finds so it was decided a while back to just let her fly and post what you want no matter where it came from.

Am I the only one who noticed he said Suicide Squid movie?

THAT'S what I had - Creepy Crawlers (not Creeple Peeple).

I remember having one of those Creeple Peeple creation kits as a kid. You would take bottles of liquid and pour them into the molds, bake them and make all sorts of bugs and creatures.

I just picked up this Action Comics #1 reprint up from an eBay seller. He had it advertised as the 1987 Nestle Quik reprint but I'm like "No, this one has the 10 cent cover price whereas the 1987 reprint is supposed to have the 50 cent cover price." So I'm thinking this is the 1983 Nestle Quik reprint. But then something totally threw me off. In the indicia, it states "The inside front cover, Copyright 1983 DC Comics Inc. All Rights Reserved. The back cover, Copyright 1987 Nestle Foods Corporation. All Rights Reserved." So if it's truly a 1983 reprint, then why is there a 1987 date in it??? Does that mean the BIP Comics "Guide to Action Comics #1 reprints" is wrong?

It certainly looks like clear tape to me.

CGC fails to properly label SO many of these Canadian Price Editions and other price variants. I know when I send one in I note it on the submission form but that still doesn't guarantee it will get on the label. Maybe a large Post-it note on the bag would help but then again the bag probably doesn't get past the initial receiving point at CGC.

So where did you pick this baby up?
