lol knowing how to scan and having a decent scanner are, at least in this case, two different things. I thought it was a good buy on eBay...but I was wrong.

Avengers 88 is listed as having a second printing. Does anyone know if this was a modern reprinting or if it occurred immediately after the first printing. Anyone know how to tell the second printing from the first?

Great stuff, Andrew. I should have thought to check there. It answers a number of questions I had about some other titles, too.

 

It looks like there is a #4 reprint, too.

Do you still have access to it? I'd be interested.

I don't think I have either of them but I'd have to do some digging in my raw boxes to find out for sure. That is a daunting task!

 

I think there are somewhere between 17 and 20 reprints and/or variants that aren't in the full variant registry set yet. I'm going to send in some raw copies of some of them for grading. Gives me something new on the Avengers front to focus on!

According to Overstreat, there's also a #16. I believe I have them all, but I'd also have to do a lengthy search.

FYI: I have spent the past few days rebagging and boarding my main raw Avengers copies from #2-#124. Nirvana!
