Remarkable and awesome

 

I wish mine looked that good.

[ShieldAgent]

you should have taken that 39 I found at Balto....

 

I will send you a scan

[Fan4Fan]

"just no CGC-worthy one?"

 

This is the case with the blanks in my set Do you have one better than VF- ? We can take it to PM

 

Nope... MetaRog got my one and only and it was in the F/VF range or so.

 

Just curious about the books availability (not that I've seen more than one in my life)...

 

Thanks,

Fan4Fan

Anyone think the Registry will cause incresed buying on CGC variants?

[Darthdiesel]

increased slabbing, but not buying...limited number of collectors...

[Stark This-migration]

Darth, I was told by Donut that you would be the guy to talk to about Iron Man Price Variant books. Any chance you might have some available? I only have the 30c variant of #87in VF-. Any help would be great.

[Darthdiesel]

i'll Pm you what I have - I did find some decent copies in Balto - however, I've never had any super nice copies - the Im 89 was a tough find, period, back when I needed it.

[Darthdiesel]

and not to hog this but, check with shieldagent, metarog, and buena vista as they may have IM's they are looking to unload as well...

[ShieldAgent]

I have a duplicate 85!

[Stark This-migration]

What might you be asking for it? Thanks Darth I appreciate the info all though I didn't get a PM from.

[Darthdiesel]

It might be due to all this mess with too many PMs stored and not being able to receive/send until I trim down. I just finished that last night. I've got available

 

Im85 FN+

IM 86 fn+

IM 87 vf/nm

Im 88 fn+

IM 89 vg+

[ShieldAgent]

your best deal, would be to get as many at one place as you can...

 

So, check those ones out from Darth, and if you still end up needing one, just send me a PM.

I've got a collector wanting to buy two 30-cent variants from me. How much should I sell my Uncanny X-Men 100 and 98 30-cent price variants for? The 100 is VG+ and the 98 is VF.

[ShieldAgent]

If you are asking me that question, I would tell you to keep those two books.

 

If you need money, or do not care about them, or both---put them on Ebay. If it is for a Price Variant Club member--give them a good deal!

 

Prices can vary. If the 98 is VF you would do OK, and the 100 is always popular regardless of grade.

 

I would buy duplicates of those books if the price was right.

 

Best of luck to you.

This may be nothing, and I really don't have enough examples to be 100% certain. But I may have found a UK price variant.

I have a Cap 213 with 12p on the cover and 30 cents on the indica.

I also have x-men 112 with 12p on the cover and 35 cents on the indica.

On ebay right now there is an x-men 124 with 12p which I believe would still be a 35 center?

 

Does anyone have/know if US 30 centers were 10p in the UK?

 

If interested I can post a scan tonight.

 

Any thoughts??

[FlyingDonut]

I have a Master of Kung Fu 47 with a 10p price, and a Nova 13 with a 12p price,for what its worth.

US Version of Master of Kung Fu 47 would have been 30 cents and you have 10p

 

Nova 13 is a possible 35 cent variant and came out the same month as my Cap 213. The fact that both are 12p either means...

 

1. We both have variants

2. All possible US 35 cent price variants were increased across the board to 12p

 

The trick would be to find a 10p version of a possible price variant book.

 

Has this topic ever been discussed before?

 

I'll see what I can find out.

You're also assuming the UK price is tied to changes in the US price. I'd think the exchange rate would have a more direct effect on the price of UK copies than normal US price hikes.

Here is a pretty cool page that explains UK pricing

UK pricing

 

I don't think exchange rate could have an effect on a single issue print run. If a 10p copy of a Sept 1977 book exists, I think its pretty safe to say the 12p is a price variant.

 

Most likely all of these books will be 12p as that would have been the easiest thing to do at the time. There was really no reason to judge reaction to a price increase when only a limited amount of books were being sent over in the first place.

I'm pretty sure this is what happened. I think it was the third month for the 30 centers. I'm not sure about the 35 centers.
