Toughest blanks to acquire

[mr_highgrade]

Besides the Hero's Initiative's blanks, what are the toughest blanks to acquire?

I am talking about blanks that hardly ever come up for sale. Is there a top five?

 

[revat]

The limited euro ones seem tough

[Turtle]

IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 - the non-Detroit Fanfare edition.

 

I think there's only 100 of them. Could be wrong about that, but I know they are VERY tough to come by.

[NYComics]

I am always willing to pay $$ for ASM 648 Blanks

 

FYI

 

[Par2ch]

Usually the ones I'm looking for

 

Here are some that have become very difficult to find for sale or if for sale command a pretty nice premium

(Disclaimer...I'm always looking to buy the below as well)

 

Avengers/invaders #1(DF exclusive)

Marvels Project #1

Amazing Spider-man #648

Avengers #1 gold logo

Batman #0

Punisher #1 (both versions)

One that you probably didn't even know existed. She Hulk. I've found my girlfriend 1 copy so far.

Just saw one yesterday at Oxford Comics in Atlanta yesterday, regret not buying it. May head back their today to get it.

Here's one on eBay. From a UK seller, though.

+1 I have almost all ASM variants and for some reason this one has eluded me. So if someone wants to sell a 9.6/9.8, CGC or raw... Just send me a PM

What do some of these usually sell for?

[bigcbass]

Gen 13 1 "Do it yourself" cover is a fairly rare one. It is generally thought of as the first "sketch" cover.

Euro variants are fairly easy to find if you just to to eBay Germany. Shipping is expensive but I buy several at a time so it isn't bad on a per-book basis.

I've got a few of these, and yes they were a pain in the arse to get ahold of...

[thatdudebooks]

Yet another one that most probably haven't heard of. I've never seen one in the wild.

 

Spawn blank (euro)

[Par2ch]

Usually the ones I'm looking for

 

Avengers/invaders #1(DF exclusive) $50+

Amazing Spider-man #648 $25+

Punisher #1 (both versions) $20+

Marvels Project #1 $20+

Avengers #1 gold logo $15+

Batman #0 $12+

 

What do some of these usually sell for?

 

Prices are for NM+ or better

[esamuel]

I have a few Batman 0's and an ASM 648 blank (all top shape) if anyone's looking...

[Zalgardos]

Yet another one that most probably haven't heard of. I've never seen one in the wild.

 

Spawn blank (euro)

 

I might a few left of these and the batmans as well if someone needs them.

I have also these euro Batman, Wolverine. justice league and Spiderman blanks

 

 

Hard to find are any Tomb Raider, Soulfire and Fathom blank covers.

[THE LAUGHING M4N]

I agree, Aspen/Top Cow blanks are hard to find. I'd love a Fathom, Tomb Raider and Gen 13 blank, two short boxes with a variety of blanks but not one of them

 

I find the more modern blanks to have too much branding (Secret Wars in particular ) and not looking forward to the slate of All New, all different Marvel junk next month. Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

This weeks Tec was nice, though I lean towards Bat 0 for the logo design despite a lack of space, same with the Harley 0's, all in the logo design.

 

Never knew the Punisher #1's (including the Marvel Now?) went for so much! I'd take trade mine for the right blank in a heartbeat!

 

[SharpComics.com]

Faust 14 and 15 both have blanks. Around 200 copies of #14 and 250 copies of #15 exist.

Very tough.

[Mayor006]

The Gen 13 blank isn't the best quality by any means because they are regular stock, and the only way you got them was in the black (or red) boxes. There are more than a few of them out there and I probably have 5 myself that haven't been sketched on. Just so many of them have been sketched on by now!
