ThothAmon Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Apparently DD 227 is a thing. As a newsstand think thing squared. mr_highgrade, mec3437 and MetalPSI 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MAR1979 Posted September 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) This is a Bronze Age book but adding it here anyway! It was issued the 3rd month of the Marvel Direct Sale era which began with June 1979 cover dated books. A $6 raw purchase in 1999. It can't be seen from my scan but this is a very glossy copy.

However your standard operating procedure is to proclaim your opinions as fact and then attack, demean and insult anyone who disagrees. If your goal is to be viewed as a more arrogant, less informed version of Joe Collector, you're doing a great job. Maybe try actually reading more instead of proving yourself to be a far more arrogant, far less informed version of Joe Collector. I proclaim facts as facts. If you don't know or understand the facts, that is entirely on you. I have explained many things in great detail for people like you, only to have it ignored and be attacked. Though, to be fair, I have gotten through to a few people. @joe_collector MetalPSI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MAR1979 Posted October 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Another Bronze-ish but IMHO this is the best place to add it. Back after 10+ months. A $5.00 1995 small local show purchase. My direct sale 9.8 is ow/w as well. WP continue to elude me on this book.... Maybe my next try will do it? But that won't be until after my freeze on submitting due to poor Q/C ends. Based on having to probably send back 2 (1 for fuzz in the slab) from this just received submission no telling if my freeze will ever end? I'm not the biggest Milgrom fan but have a soft spot for this cover as it was the first Comic I ever saw with the Silver Surfer. 250 is 1st true Sabre and Arabian Knight not 256 - yea I know a Hulk 180 / 181 situation Edited October 14, 2022 by MAR1979 ThothAmon, Jesse-Lee, ADAMANTIUM and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spawnfreak Posted October 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2022 On 9/6/2022 at 3:02 PM, Jesse-Lee said: I've mentioned this before, but at least to me, I like the newsstand issues now because that's pretty much all I could get as a kid. It's a nostalgia thing for me personally. I remember going to the town drugstore and the supermarket and picking up comics, cards and candy with my paper route and lawn mowing money in the mid to late 1980s and early 1990s. The nearest comic shop was an hour and a half away, so it was a rare occasion that I got to go to one. Most of the books I bought came off the newsstand. Wish I still had them all in good condition, but I sure did enjoy reading them to tatters. I am really old(76), and when I was in the third grade in St. Louis, I would skip school and spend ALL DAY at a drug store , sitting in the corner reading comics; Never got kicked out. Learned to read well sitting there. As an adult, I bought my comics off the rack as often as I could afford, so up until recently, all my comics are newsies. I buy all I can afford, and my kids are going to get them when I'm gone. These are some of my faves copper and not.copper. Most of my comics are in deep storage, and I am too darn lazy to take pics. valiantman, Dmac538, dkohnen and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newsstand is all the rage, so I’m guessing it does. It probably goes MJ/double cover/CVP/newsstand / direct as far as current value tiers.
