WE DID IT!!!

 

Bro!  That book is awesome!  Congrats!

AVP Limited Edition Hard Cover “second printing”.  After some research and inquiries I’ve come to the conclusion that there isn’t a “first print” of this hard cover.  The first print is the standard TPB.    

First comic appearance of Snake Plissken

I should have created this thread in Comics General and not made it Copper Age specific.  There are a lot of books that had first appearances of popular movie characters in either Bronze or Modern Age, not just Copper.

@Qalyar awesome info BTW!  Got me to purchase this today.  I know its a Modern book.

Anyone who doesn't think the number of 9.9s is going to skyrocket from historical numbers is crazy. 

Glad I didn’t invest in 9.9’s.

Cool!  North Shore?  If you go back, try Outer Limits in Waltham on Moody St.  

Yes sir!  My brother used to frequent outer limits when he lived on Moody St.  great shop!  I’ve been there a handful of times. Webhrad comics in Wakefield was a decent shop.  Too bad they closed down a few years ago.

Cool.  What shops did you hit up in Boston?  

Comically Speaking in Reading.

Thank you!  @joeypost

Back from CGC!  Pressed by @joeypost!

Cant figure out for the life of me why the AVPT TPB got a 9.6…..  The corners are razor sharp and there isn’t a single crease.  Anyway, still quite happy with the results.

First appearance of Max Sterling and Ben Dixon. 

Man room and Punisher is front and center.

Been wanting this book for a while.  Now time to hunt down the Escape from New York 1:100 in 9.8.

Complete!!!  All CPV’s, all 9.8…..

Has anyone come across this error for Aliens 1 before?  Area 88, 25 was printed at the same time and the below is that interior plus the cover to Aliens 1.

Aliens 1 May 1988 CGC 9.2 Manufacturing Error - ”Manufactured with interior of “Area 88 #25””

That is crazy!  I have never seen that.  Thx for sharing.  When did you get that book?

Completed The Punisher (2000 V3 series) in CGC 9.8 with this current pickup, which arrived yesterday…💀

I can't believe there is only one 9.8 CPV on the census... I need one!

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a few 9.8’s graded as standard editions that are really CPV’s.

One more book to go (Aliens 1988 #5 third print) and the “Aliens, Predator, Terminator and AVP 1988-1992 (Dark Horse) all variants” mega set will be complete.
