[HarrisonJohn]

finally found one

Nice. NM?

Nice. NM?

 

at the top and bottom of the spine in the corners there are small tears that look like they could be a production defect, not sure, and not sure how CGC grades that... other than that 2 small indents on back cover spine, NM- I guess...

Great book.

 

I used to look for them all the time, but stopped. I suppose there are several around, but currently only know of four other copies.

 

Congrats.

[HarrisonJohn]

Thanks,

I had given up looking for a while, so I was lucky to come across this.

never give up looking for what you want.

 

I only ever stopped looking for a book after I got a copy, except for the DC Presents 22 Whitman. I became convinced it did not exist.

[mr_highgrade]

Is that the Canadian edition?

What's the story on the 22? Does it exist?

I do not think so. It says clearly $1.25 for Canada.

I guess so, boardie Warlord has a copy.

I didn't notice that. So, what's the deal with this book?

All the newsstand copies I have seen (barcode) say $1.50. Of the direct versions, copies that say $1.00 exist.

 

I have no clue why.

[HarrisonJohn]

No one has an answer yet (these were only first noticed a few years ago) but my guess would be they were made in error (since 1.00 was the normal pricing, and this was a double sized issue at 1.50), inside on the 1st page indicia it is printed as 1.50

[B-Smooth]

You sellin'?

[HarrisonJohn]

You sellin'?

 

if I locate more... needed at least one for myself. If I sent to CGC would they note it as a variant?

[B-Smooth]

Now would probably be the time to sell. I'm thinking that there are probably a lot more of them, and the reason so few have been found is because so few people are looking. Just a hypothesis. I wonder how many showcase Whitman 22's are out there languishing in the quarter bins as well?

It's hard to say. There's about 40 copies on ebay right now (between individual copies and those found in lots) and I don't see any 1.00 copies. If this were an issue of Uncanny X-Men it would be a bigger deal and more people would be looking.

[B-Smooth]

People are going to start digging now.

Secret Defenders 7....

Secret Defenders 7....

 

Is this a similar situation as the XFACTOR 38? I saw one that looked like it had a marvel price sticker on it that said 1.75.
