Do you think it's more common than ASM 252?

For me to find, yes

Agreed. Thor 337s were everywhere when I first started chasing CPVs in the early 2000s and has always been the easiest CPV Marvel key to find. I have only seen multiple CPV ASM 252s in a couple of collections, and have found SW 8 to be more common that ASM 252 FWIW.

I have a big ol stack of Simonson Thor CPVs sitting next to my desk waiting to be priced. No 337 tho, and I don't think the rest are in demand enough to warrant a price bump over any other copy of comparable condition.

Common CPVs do fetch a bit of a premium, especially if they are HG or somewhat harder to find late run CPVs.

Greggy will pay you 3-4X direct edition value for 9.4+ copies.

What he said (although 9.8 copies preferred). They are a number of gaps in the Thor run where there are no 9.8 copies in the census.

Isn't Thor #370 supposed to be one of the toughest CPVs to find (although I have found plenty over the years  ).

[Silver Surfer]

In high grade yes, although I did own a Voldy 9.8 copy years back so they must exist. Off the top of my head I don’t think a #349 in 9.8 has been graded yet? The #351 is a lone copy, same with # 354.

What's wild about that? It's a hype site, not any kind of authority.

Shoo fly shoo.

Found a couple tough ones in the wild, on a spinner rack in a used bookstore I frequent...

And after a delay due to a mechanical error resub to remove some debris between the outer case and inner well, here is the final result:

I also can't remember if I posted this or not, but it was in the same batch. I normally would not sub a low to mid-grade CPV, but the price they were going for a the time made it worth it. Now, not so much

Still kinda hot, although in that grade, maybe not so much.    The grading looks a smidge tough..

I had it as a 4.5 raw so I was happy with the result.  

I figured the GI Joe 21 would grade out at 7.5/8.0 due to the staple tears, so that was nice as well.

If anyone is looking for ASM #252 (9.4) CPV or Batman #357 (8.5) CPV, Quicksilver Comics has them listed in a FS thread: 

 

 

[davidpg]

Found a few interesting and rarely seen CPVs on the wekend at my usual honey hole though they were lower grade and proced too high.  I did grab this very nice Alpha Flight 12 though.  Nice as is at a 9.2 easy, would upgrade absolutely if I was into that sort of thing.
