RockMyAmadeus Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 If there's any hope, I suspect it will be in newsstand versions...... Why? I always thought that newsstand versions were tougher to find in higher grades thus (sometimes) more desirable. Because this is a print-run wide phenomenon, and when they changed the plates for the newsstand printing, they have a chance to fix whatever's causing the problem in the run. That is why you will almost never find a Cap #241 Direct Market without a printer's crease in the lower right corner, and you will also almost never find a Cap #241 newsstand WITH a printer's crease in that same corner. The problem was fixed in between the runs. Thus, if there's any hope, it will be in the newsstand version.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a difference in the print runs between the direct and newsstand? Do you think that a Wolvie #35 direct 9.8 would realize more then a Wolvie newsstand 9.8?

So, was today's experience with RMA a net positive,or net negative? Please drop off your survey on the way out. Is there a difference in the print runs between the direct and newsstand? Not much, at this point. The newsstand was still chugging along. Do you think that a Wolvie #35 direct 9.8 would realize more then a Wolvie newsstand 9.8? No. There's no premium either way at the moment. The two balance each other out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thumbs u Haven't been keeping up with the "What would you do, Part the Second" thread...? It's a play on the fact that Transplant accused me of being a "cancer" on these boards, and that I am a far bigger negative than a positive here.

Benjamin Grimm Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I don't even really collect Wolverine, especially this issue, but for whatever reason, I read this whole thread a few weeks back and ever since have been on the look out for copies of this issue without the discussed defect. No luck. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topnotchman Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 When someone is willing to throw $500.00 at a real nice looking $1.00 book. People start to do strange things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Grimm Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I'm not sure I could bring myself to charge that much for one if I found it, though. Maybe because I'm not one of the people willing to throw out $500 for the issue, so I couldn't expect someone else to... But if you guys haven't found one, I doubt little old me ever will.
