I rarely see that #608 ASM, to the point that I wasn't sure there was one 😂

I like the run of ASM and bats from about 601-620, bats more starts at about #608 ironically

I just hit a run of about 60 of these with the X-men & Uncanny  title from 170-200ish. There were only a couple of Legacy
in the whole 60.

I'm fairly new to the world of newsstands, so any news and info is greatly appreciated.

Nice! I mainly got it for #214 which is Ms. Sinister’s first appearance. They look they could all benefit from pressings.

Issue #214 is the first appearance of Malice. Sinister's first appearance is #221.

I thought this was a vol2 or 3 thing 

Didn't know Sinister was married, or that anyone knew that early

One of my areas of interest are first appearances of female super heroes and villains. I feel most are undervalued.

Few more I found this morning. 

I wonder why the Wolverine one-shot is listed as "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" in the UPC?  It's not even in the Spider-Family of books.

I forgot the specifics but it boiled down to saving a bit of money. It was explained earlier in this thread and I’m sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

Maybe speaking out of turn, but this is a link to some of it, probably not the wolvie specifically; at least,  the " Spider-man "

My bad, I didn't even know there was a Ms. Sinister.

Yeah, basically the distributor charged a fee when a company wanted to sell a new title so for a while Marvel would sell new titles under some of the cancelled titles name's to save that money. They would ring up under the old title at the register and I assume that made it very difficult to accurately track sales because they did end that practice after a while. I have a bunch of Fantastic Fours that all rang up as Astonishing X-men  because FF (during Hickman's run) replaced Fantastic Four, but when it came back FF kept the Fantastic Four title near the barcode.

Some recent acquisitions, including Malibu, Image, Dark Horse Star Wars, and a bunch of books from the late 90s bagged & boarded in high grade...and all from the dollar bin!

Also an odd newsstand sticker over a Direct copy. 

I've included 2 older New Warriors books I got, because it shows the exact time of transition between UPC styles.
