divad Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Somewhat anecdotal but nonetheless you may find interesting. Aside from a few remnants of my tomato box O O collection, my collection today consists of 4 or 5 private collections leaning more towards the CA/MA. Each of these were compiled by collectors who shopped primarily at comic shops and not newsstand retailers and are representative of their buying habits, with only occasional newsstand purchases (probably when traveling.) I believe that this may be reflective of most CA (and later) collections, whereas full or partial newsstand collections are much fewer in number due to local geography or inconsistent buying habits.

BrooksR Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Are there any rare newsstands in the copper age? I thought they were pretty evenly distributed. I can see how getting them in 9.8 would be hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how getting them in 9.8 would be hard. Undoubtedly there are some rare ones. Of course the term 'rare' is somewhat subjective or relative. Like in pure absolute numbers, any issue with a really low print run, possibly at or near cancellation issue (because #'s are so low), would probably have less in existence. Issues at the end of the copper age with low distribution numbers are probably rarer, assuming newsstand issues represent a certain percentage of overall issues, AND that the percentage decreased as time passes. Finding out the distribution numbers of any given issue (and factoring in newsstand returns), or assessing rarity relative to demand are entirely different issues. divad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stars and Stripes! Ya it'd be difficult to find a Canadian price Mark jeweler, due to most mark jewelers inserts being on American military bases not Canadian, this is one of 2 that I even know of....
