My first 35c variant...I was disappointed with the grade...I didn't notice a little rust on the bottom staple

[B-Smooth]

Yes!

 

 

I was wondering who jumped on that one. How long was the auction before pulling the trigger? I know it wasn't very long.

[Timmay]

Yes!

Different folks may know the answer to this. With all Bronze comics, its my understanding that it is easier to find ultra high grade books that were sold without the UPC. The discussion on the Amazing Spiderman 194 rings a bell. Where there are no 9.8's with a UPC.

 

The argument is that since those were sold at retail stores, it is then tougher to find the ultra high grade.

 

So with variants, both 30 and 35, it's already a small pool to get the 9.6's and 9.8s but I was wondering if variants were only sold via retail or did they also get sold via comic stores without the UPC. Curious if anyone thought about it in that way.

UPCs started appearing on Marvel comics cover dated June 1976 and there were no other types until late 1979 except for the Direct Sale/Whitman editions. I think both newstands and comic book shops got the same exact comic until the "slash through the UPC" came along in 1979. If there were two different editions for 30 and 35 cent variants Shieldagent would really hate variants!

Cool new additions to the DCW hoard! I have never seen this 2-pack before, and haven't ever seen either of these comics in any other pack combo! On top of that, these are two tough to find issues, and super tough in HG.

This pack is unusual in that it includes Wonder Woman #260 which is somewhat commonly seen in a 3-pack with Wonder Woman #255, #257, #260 (#255 in middle). Not many DC Whitmans have been spotted in multiple combos! The awesome thing about this pack is that it's the first time I've ever seen a multi-pack that contains Superboy & LSH #257!

Very nice Thomas. I just picked up a 200 and will post a picture soon.

[B-Smooth]

I'm sure you've all seen it, but I had to post it anyhow. How about "this week in some lucky persons, (who is not me) collection. It might have been, had I known about it.

[PeterPark]

So now that's two copies, right?

[ShieldAgent]

Found these today. Two at a show, nine at a shop.
