seanfingh Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I need one of these. I have never, ever seen one in a bargain bin. Therefore, I have never owned one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpComics.com Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 It actually made it to 50. Time to start slabbing my hoard of 48's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphman13 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Saw two of them at Heroes Con. from two different dealers. Both had them displayed on their wall and both for well over ten bucks. Could not find it when I went box diving anywhere. Hopefully one day I'll find one in a discount box for 2 bucks or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Smooth Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Pick this up cheap. Nice 9.4-9.6. That back cover is murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikingreed Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Alf made it to 48 issues??? Hahaha, I agree with that! Wonder what he made it up to! I did love me some ALF when I was a kiddo though. Still have the stuffed animal, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I'll try to get a scan up tomorrow of a copy I just got. For some reason these have been popping up all over ebay the last couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMyAmadeus Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I was going to leave this, since it was up to 48 posts, in honor of the 48th issue, but I decided to post anyway. Here's to #49! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valiantman Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 The Capital City orders for Alf #48 were 2,500 copies. Since Capital City had about 20% of the market, the print run on Alf #48 is probably around 12,500. That's insanely low for 1991 Marvel. Total number of slabbed copies on the CGC census? 5. Average slabbed grade? 9.2 What portion of that 12,500 went to non-collectors? Probably a lot. There were still a few people buying comics and tossing them out in 1991. Probably the largest group of books tossed out would be the non-superhero books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most interesting is the average grade... 8.5. We don't see the average grade drop that much until the higher grade copies really start drying up. http://www.cgcdata.com/cgc/search/isolateid/85957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantman Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Does anyone else feel this cover is glaringly out of place in the final four ALF covers? The other three share a common theme of the title's cancellation, to the extent that each cover has no fewer than three references to it. ALF #48 has zero obvious references to the cancellation.
