Spider-Man #1 Info

5 posts in this topic

Does the CGC Census group the green Spider-man #1 UPC and Spidey logo editions together for the regular version? I've seen a Green Varient UPC edition listed on eBay several times, but I can't figure out which version this is in the Census.

 

Also, were less UPC versions produced (hard to call it "rare"!) other than the Gold UPC edition. Was there a silver UPC version?

 

Finally, what distinguishes a "Poly-Bagged" edition?

 

Thanks!

Erm, to my knowledge, the rarest Spider-Man #1s are,

 

1) Platinum Edition (given to dealers only) (10,000 copies printed)

2) Gold Edition with UPC (10,000 copies printed)

3) Silver Poly-bagged (125,000 copies printed)

4) Green Poly-bagged (125,000 copies printed)

5) Silver Variant (no price, 125,000 copies printed)

6) Gold Variant (spidey in UPC box, 450,000 copies printed)

 

There was supposed to be a Chromium Edition with a print run of 7500 only, but I haven't seen those before.

 

I'm guessing they lumped the UPC and Spidey logo edition together for the first part of the census.

A Poly-bag edition is a comic in the erm... poly bag?
