thanks again for the info you guys, I tracked down the 2nd prints of both 207 and 208 thanks to your help with the photos and how to identify them. Now im wondering if there are others during this era. i've been checking 200-220 pretty regularly and still havent seen any others though.

Both 1st and 2nd prints have the same, all black YAMAHA cover.  The only way to discern between the two printings is to look inside the comic.

thanks a ton for the info! something new to hunt

Uncanny X-Men #208 also has a 2nd print that I just found for myself.  Same ads as #207.

did you notice any ad differences between 208 2nd and first printings? i managed to find a 207 second print but haven’t seen a 208 2nd yet. if you could share some images for reference that’d be great!

has any further info on the origin of these turned up? wild that these are only just surfacing… makes me wonder how many others are out there

Recent mail call - shoutout to @George Brent for the big assist with these!

does anyone happen to have an x-men #93 $2.29 to trade? I have extra X-men #96 $2.29 and $2.49 available to swap, or lots of other modern newsstands, variants etc. Thanks!

anyone need x-men 96 $2.29 or $2.49? 

i'm also looking for x-men #95 $2.29 and #93 $2.29 if anyone has one to spare. thanks!

Regarding Xmen, I always wondered what happened with Maggot and Marrow

There was a Weapon X ongoing series around 2002 where Marrow was drafted into the new program, got rid of all the visible bone protrusions and some tweaks to her powers. She's continued to pop up in various series since and had a pretty morbid story about her unborn child being killed in x-force. Maggot also showed up in that series and was seemingly killed in a mutant concentration camp by weapon x. He started showing up again later on with zero explanation of how he returned, but not really having any significant interactions I can think of, mostly a background character in scenes and probably due to writers forgetting he had been executed previously.

Major rearranging time for my collection and a good chance for pics of newsstands:    back in 2012-2013 I was lucky to have access to unsold issues from a news-stand at 2x their cost (so, 50c per issue for me) and I was getting every copy they wouldn't sell  --I wish Marvel hadn't stopped their newsstands in Dec of 2013, I would have loaded up on everything. 

unreal!! any chance you've got some spares of the x-men books? down to a handful to finish my set, plenty of extras to trade also
