Popular Post MAR1979 Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Old School Slabbed Newsstand's The 9.6 presents better than many 9.8's, I see the reason for the 9.6 and would easily press out but on this book simply not worth the expense, especially given the page quality.

Popular Post MAR1979 Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) I did search specifically for the newsstand as the price in diamond just does not look right to me on this issue. Difficult book to find in high grade. The white area in the bottom right corner is not color loss its extra folded over paper that was not cut off during manufacturing. Sure glad comics are not graded like stupid trading cards when every manufacturing anomaly counts against you Edited November 12, 2021 by MAR1979 mr_highgrade, littledoom, mec3437 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAR1979 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Found another while continuing my slab scanning "project". These $1.00 Superman Family's have a fun look to them although seems like they were expensive in their day.

divad Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 Great books, but 1981 is not the CA, and thus not really the point of this thread. littledoom and BigLeagueCHEW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is! You could argue that some 1981 issues/titles aren't, but that would be a a specific argument and this is a general thread.

On a Mid 1981 book the point could be argued either way. DC first differentiated between Direct Sale and Newsstands on their books cover dated October 1980. My opinion is if the DC book has UPC code after Oct 1980 it is Copper. Of course the delineation is fuzzy from Bronze to Copper but now you know my POV.

Gary Strange Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) Couldn’t bring myself to send it in for slabbing. Don’t think it’ll get higher than a 9.4 even with a press.

Yep, but that doesn't take into consideration a wide variety of factors (which have been discussed on a number of very popular threads over the years.) I happen to look at it from a change in artistic expression in the format, coinciding with a change in production methods and measures, similar to what occurred between the SA and the BA, rather than how many associate that change merely with the jump from the 12 cents covers, or the introduction of Conan the Barbarian vis-a-vis superheroes (or addressing relevant social issues like GL 76.) A topic worthy of discussion . . . but inapplicable here. (No offense intended.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
