Lazyboy Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 It's a 2nd printing UXM 270 with the wrong cover. It doesn't matter what's on the cover, because it's not the right cover. RockMyAmadeus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Commissioner Posted November 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2019 @Martin Sinescu beat me to the punch, but here's my newsstand copy of Batman 404 mr_highgrade, jdw1991, mec3437 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Sinescu Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Seriously, that book is no picnic to find in 9.8 (especially frustrating when you consider the billions of direct copies available). The other newsstand copper keys I've looked for have been relatively easy and I've had the luxury of holding out for nice wraps, white pages, etc. Bats 404? It took over a year before I found --a-- copy in 9.8. Seems more like two-plus years that I sifted through the saved search emails, but I don't want to embellish without proof and all my old emails have been deleted. Swamp Thing 21 is another I'll look for occasionally, but that's tough to find in either version. I remember one coming up on CLink a few years back before newsstands really got much of a premium and seem like it might've gotten into the mid-200's. Wrap was a bit wonky IIRC so I let it go without much of a fight. Probably a mistake on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divad Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Seems to me that there are a lot more modern newsstands than coppers out there (based on the respective threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While probably rarer in ultra high grade, for most of the copper age they were readily available for most (but certainly not all) issues. nepatkm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as HG goes, I have to dig them out and take a looksie. Edited November 26, 2019 by mr_highgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post shiverbones Posted December 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2019 I recently started helping my lcs grade and price a few hours a week, I see a lot come through, but was shocked at the shape of this one, no color breaking wear at all, so I had to grab it jdw1991, nepatkm, mec3437 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Newsstand coppers coming in are less than 10%, bronze about 25%, as expected I guess divad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were pretty evenly distributed. I can see how getting them in 9.8 would be hard. The rare ones would tend to be the indies...like Comico and Now...that had limited newsstand distribution. Of DC and Marvel, there is functionally NO difficult to find newsstands of any book that had newsstand distribution. The earlier in the era you get, the more common they are. You have to get into 1994-1995 to start to find rare newsstands, and since most folks end Copper at 1991-1992, that leaves that out. A good example would be Sandman #68 (?)-#75. Newsstands copies exist for these, even though the title was Direct only, and it's apparently because book sellers were selling Sandman trades like gangbusters...but had to Direct order (if they did) Sandman issues. nepatkm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is basically correct, but a little harsh in its conclusory language. All newsies are harder to find in HG by virtue of end-to-end handling. HG newsies after approx 1985 are not only HTF but getting increasingly harder to find. I would suggest that modern newsies after 2005 are fairly plentiful in HG, although still present at a much lower percentage than Direct copies. The straight-line hypothesis posed in other threads is purely an over simplification of the real world. The Sandman example is an anomaly. But discourse rules, of course. nepatkm and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
