I just picked up a nice 9.4 of this other day. 

 

I picked this up for the nostalgia. I was already a huge Byrne fan at the time because I loved his Fantastic Four run, which i read in pieces whenever i could get my hands on a back issue, and was really excited to see his version of Venom (who was another of my faves). I just remember seeing Venom showing up on the last page and thinking this is the worst looking Venom I've ever seen!

I had found the #7 but it wasn't in grade. :(

Still congrats for you, those are nice :)

Those Amazing Fantasy Newsstands are exceedingly difficult to find. Only ones I’ve found are #2,3,7, 15. I bought the AF15 for $50 on eBay and got $1200 from an award winning Hollywood Writer when I sold it. 

I've seen a few others, started kicking myself for not buying them months ago. At the time, didn't want to spend $75-$150 each but would do it today (and did, for the one pictured in my post). Another group I feel the same way about is the Spider-Man Noir series. I saw them once, passed on the price, and then they disappeared.

Another very hard to find newsstand just arrived at my doorstep in the snow.

I was curious, have you tried submitting these to CGC yourself? Is CGC generally better at getting the label right or correct?

I always was intimidated, I've done it a few times, but seems a hassle or was :(

I submitted 75 comics to CGC in 3 separate submissions between March 24, 2021 and May 2021. They still have all of them. They are all at the "quick press and clean" stage at CCs. I was charged $200 for the first group of 25, so I assume it is done but then that group disappeared from CGC's tracking tool. Then the second group disappeared. I called to ask about this. The woman I spoke with said they will reappear when they are "scheduled for grading". So, this is the main reason I held off submitting for so long, and why I may not submit again. At least, not until they catch up to their backlog. For reference, the comics I sent are the ones I perceive to be the most rare/interesting/valuable issues I own. For that reason, I stopped posting modern newsies here a long time ago, anticipating a big reveal when these comics come back from CGC. However, it has taken so long that I am impatient and have started posting again.

I hear you, no worries, and looking forward to the BIG POST! Eventually :wishluck:

That is awesome, I remember when and where I was when I bought that off the stands, one of those rare moments! :x

Congrats :)
