Show us your Modern Newsies! 22 22

[George Brent]

Major rearranging time for my collection and a good chance for pics of newsstands:    back in 2012-2013 I was lucky to have access to unsold issues from a news-stand at 2x their cost (so, 50c per issue for me) and I was getting every copy they wouldn't sell  --I wish Marvel hadn't stopped their newsstands in Dec of 2013, I would have loaded up on everything.

unreal!! any chance you've got some spares of the x-men books? down to a handful to finish my set, plenty of extras to trade also

[v1ll41n]

some of my recent duplicates, focusing on finishing my uncanny x-men vol. 1 run right now, missing five to finish: 516, 518, 523, 533 and 534.1. Lot's of this same era uncanny, amazing spider-man, Batman etc. available to trade if anyone wants to reach out - would love to find more people working on similar sets and help each other out.

What's the the average grade on those bad boys?

I'd say NM- to NM/VF.  Plenty of NM's,  a good amount of VF+'s, a few F's here and there, but, overall, not bad at all   --must have been a store not too heavily frequented.

Not too shabby.

Visited several LCS today and picked these up to fill in some of my Wolverine newsstand run and a few extras were found as well.

Damn the Wolvie 66 newsie is BA. I remember when it came out. Bought a copy off the shelves cause I knew it’d be great!

I love these old man Logan's I need to make a set.

I always liked Deodato’s exaggerated Hulk covers. He does a great job 

[jsilverjanet]

Found these in my storage locker from a collection I picked up a few years ago (these were all dupes of direct copies) 

 

[onlyweaknesskryptonite]

Extremely happy with these additions to my Action Comics, Adventures of Superman, and Superman Newsstand runs!

Does anyone have a Bar Coded Sandman they have a picture of?
All scan mine tomorrow and show you. I am just curious if anyone else has one.
Mine is Sandman 7.

 

So where's yours?

Regarding Xmen, I always wondered what happened with Maggot and Marrow

There was a Weapon X ongoing series around 2002 where Marrow was drafted into the new program, got rid of all the visible bone protrusions and some tweaks to her powers. She's continued to pop up in various series since and had a pretty morbid story about her unborn child being killed in x-force. Maggot also showed up in that series and was seemingly killed in a mutant concentration camp by weapon x. He started showing up again later on with zero explanation of how he returned, but not really having any significant interactions I can think of, mostly a background character in scenes and probably due to writers forgetting he had been executed previously.

Y'all do realize that once collecting modern newsstands became "a thing," that it's no longer a thing, right?

If you read the Sandman Copper Thread you would know.
