Don't really go searching. Is this a 1st print? How come mine has a bar code and not the 30th anniversary? It's a newsstand. Yes, it's a Newsstand edition. And a first print. 5 hours ago, Wolverinex said: Those have a premium to them. No, certainly not for this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing for people to fall for the Newsstand hucksterism for books that actually have relatively small Newsstand:total ratios, but this book is not one of them.

No, I don't think people are stupid. I still think Newsstands are more valuable then Direct editions because it's often harder to find themin better grades since they are bought off at grocery stores, bookstores, etc. yes, Mr. Highgrade has a million of these, but unusual. I don't think most people hoard newsstand copies. Comics4All 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icp004 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Just now noticing this thread and wanted to join the club. Picked this up in a dollar box at the First State Comic Con in the Wilmington DE area several years back before this comic took off.

I don't think most people hoard newsstand copies. What you need to understand is that, when the issue was published, ASM was printing an average of 660,000 copies per issue and selling an average of 545,000 copies per issue. Then you need to realize that this is not an average issue, being a virtual (though probably not actual, technically) sellout. While simplified and not perfectly accurate, that's still 115,000 Newsstand copies of ASM 361 that were most likely purchased by dealers and collectors that didn't frequent the newsstand outlets. mr_highgrade just happens to have shown us some visual evidence of what a single one of those people did. You have to consider more than just the stupid "Newsstands are superultramegarare!" hype, especially when looking at a specific issue.

Capn17 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Didn't want to feel left out. Purchased this when it first came out. So original owner. Tried my best to keep it in good condition. Doubt I'd get it graded, but it does still look good. DELTA 62, icp004 and ADAMANTIUM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So jealous, I had so many Spider-Man and X-Men books from 90-95, including this one, when I was a kid and when I moved out of my mother's house for the Army she threw away 95% of my comics and cards 🤦🏻♂️ I'm still mad at her to this day about that.😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
