Anytime!

Decided to stop at another location on my way to work. Here's what I came up with. (Sorry for some of the pics...I took them in my car so the background might look funny)

Here is what my nearby Walmart had. Was pleasantly surprised to see the Artgerm variant cover for The Amazing Mary Jane #1.

Ok so I was at another LCS over the weekend and came across this issue in a dollar bin. I literally had to do a double take because I noticed where the cracks start on the hologram practically match up with the cracks drawn on the cover! I just laughed and of course I had to buy it. I do enjoy finding freakish/oddball stuff like this!

Yes, this helps immensely! Thanks so much!!

Ok, here's another one I picked up which has thrown me off. While digging in the clearance bin I saw this Over The Edge issue with the blank UPC box. I love finding oddities and what not so needless to say I bought it. (Hey it was only 50 cents...so why not) Well when I got home I took it out of the yucky bag and board it'd been kept in and saw that Professor Xavier and the X-Men was on the flip side of the issue. Huh? Now it's a Newsstand copy but why does one side have a barcode and the other doesn't? Did they seriously sell these outside the comic shops! The indicia says Professor Xavier and the X-Men/Over The Edge vol 1. No. 3, January 1995. Anyone have any info on this issue or this run? (And BTW - what's with that depressing Prof. X & the X-Men cover!) Cheers!

Thanks for this info! Now I know...and knowing is half the battle!

A few I came across over the weekend while looking through a long-box at my LCS. And I have to assume that The Incredible Hulk 715 is a Newsstand because nowhere does it say "Direct Edition"...or am I wrong?

Wow! That's incredible and so simple! Thanks so much for sharing this tip!

OMG This must be what heaven looks like.... BTW could PLEASE tell me how you got these to stay on your wall...and don't tell me it's an ancient "Chinese Secret".

In case any one was interested I was able to pick up a 3 pack with Eternals and King in Black: Return of the Valkyries. This is what I got. So far I'm 5 for 5 on those lenticular covers!

Well, looks like WalMart has gotten another new batch of Marvel 3 packs in. Here are the ones I picked up. Funny how it seems like the lenticular issues are starting to become the norm in these 3 packs. There were a few more (i.e. Thor, Eternals, & King in Black: Return of the Valkyries ) which I'll try to pick up before they're gone.

I agree they do make mistakes...heck we're all humans and not perfect. Anyhoo, it was a silly side thought after seeing that FF issue and knowing it was Newsstand.

Oh I wasn't thinking about conspiracy or anything. It just so happens to be the site I have saved on my phone and when I'm out and about I'll go to the site out of convenience.

Found this Fantastic Four issue 415 at a LCS yesterday. What I found most interesting is that mycomicshop.com doesn't mention a Newsstand version. I wonder why...

I also can't see any pictures from any one else...I can see yours though. Funny, I was just about to post a few of the Walmart packs that I picked up yesterday. Looks like you and I got the same comics in our Strange Academy pack.

Just got this back the other day. Not bad for a comic book I found at a pawn shop! The message I included in my order said "Please tell Mr. Milgrom he may remark whatever he feels like" (or something like that) Anyhoo, he did a cute Capt. America head.

No problem. I didn't remember requesting Imaging but when I saw it listed there I thought, well maybe they added it. I'll check with them. I really appreciate your help!

Hi Jennifer! Sure here is the info Submission #2579283 I don't have an order number because this was submitted through One-Stop Comics while I was at a convention in September. Here's a screen shot of the info when I click the Submission # Thank you so much for your help.

It just occurred to me that I never received the scanned image of a comic I had graded back in September. It was shipped back to me 9/28/2020 and of course I received. My Submission history shows the comic as having been "Finalized / Imaged / Shipped" and clicking on that link takes me to the Fed-Ex website. I never got the image sent in a separate email and I've checked my Spam/Junk folder to make sure. Who can I contact about getting the scan of this comic book? Cheers!

Thanks for sharing! If your copy is doing the same thing as mine then, I assume, it's safe to say that this is not caused by moisture.

Hi everyone! So I recently bought this X-Men #25 out of a $1 bin because of the blue hologram oddity. My first thought was maybe it was moisture that got into the hologram. But the rest of the comic book is absolutely clean and the pages are white and show no signs of moisture or water damage. I've looked at this hologram from various angles and cannot figure it out. My sister said it looked like blue ink spilled in there. I've been reading this thread and have seen some really bizarre (yet very interesting) examples of these holograms having different oddities. So I was wondering what you all thought of this one. Oh and funny enough, when I bought it I didn't realize it was a Newsstand issue until I got home.

Seriously, I too am wondering if there's any logical reasoning behind the different names placed near the UPC barcode on modern Marvel Newsstand editions. I mean why put "Marvel Classics" near the barcode for this "The Invincible Iron Man" issue 17? Ummm....is it supposed to be a classic?

Wow thats crazy! Someone at CGC was asleep at the wheel when they labeled it. You can re-send it and have the label corrected, right?

I'm still a huge collector of the 90's Marvel trading cards...everything from the Marvel Universe to the X-Men Fleer and so on. I'd love to see CGC begin grading Marvel cards from the 90's and would totally send some of mine in.
