Price Variant Club 32 32

[Cap_Nut]

Oh, no! So sorry to see this

My Iron Fist #13 came back this week, 6.5 OW-White. I don't have too many .35 centers yet, but I like this one. (Grew up liking this series anyway)

Just wish I knew about price variants years ago.

Did all those higher grade 35 cent variants ever sell on Hake's? It's not a site I use so I knew I would be out of contention, but I was wondering how things went?

that's a good question, if I remember the poster came to show us if it's what I'm thinking about, hope that he did ok on them....

[ADAMANTIUM]

For A $5 spot

 

Even though it's only about a 6.0/6.5

 

Half Price Books

Nice pickup. If your HFB prices like mine there was no premium for the variant!

well it was still behind their glass bins for the priced stuff, but it was still only priced at $5, so I got it

They also had Infinity Gauntlet 1 for $10 and like the 3rd or 4th app of sabretooth for $10, but  this was cheap enough a deal to snag

The drought is officially over. 
They aren't NM copies, but they count.
And they were found in the wild which gets me double points.

Total CGC pop for this price variant (UK) is more rare, or at least about as rare, as many key 35-centers.  Interesting.  I thought the super relative scarcity (compared to regular non-variant cents) was mostly just an early Silver Age thing.   Anyway, it livens up my PC.

Are UK price variants really that rare? The market for Marvel Comics has been pretty strong in the UK since the 60's.

Not surprising, for Marvel to continue splitting the print run into US and UK portions since then.

Apparently, based on relative CGC census data across practically all issues that had both cents and UK price variants (but note that CGC does not break out UK variant data for all issues that had them, presumably because there is nothing or too little to report, which just emphasizes the relative scarcity even more).  Another non-SA example is Eternals #1.

Alright Everyone, some of the best CGC Graded 35 Cent Variants are up!!!!  There are a lot of Pop 1's.  These are from the Box of Gold Story posted a couple months ago.  If you do a search for "35 cent" in the comics once you're on Hakes.com, you will see all that are currently up for grabs.  Good Luck to you all in your collecting.

I don't buy from Hakes myself, but good luck.

The UK variants aren't price variants, just foreign editions. There is probably a thread for them back there someplace.

They are nowhere near as rare as the 35 cent variants, but with the increased supply comes less demand which corresponds to less money. When there is less money less get graded and they appear to be more rare than they are.

Picked these up bin diving today

$8 well spent

 

[Jterp5]

So apparently there's now a CGC 9.8 Scooby Doo #1 35 cent variant and a 9.6 Flintstones #1 35 cent variant.  Incredible.

Has anyone actually seen these or know the backstory of how they were found in this condition?

This new collecting group entering the hobby the last few years has shown some interest in them. For years for collectors like me we just passed them by. I know some of the cheaper pence are really hard to find in US.

Hmm Id like to know that story too. As both are extremely rare. People like me that have been looking for 
years will really have doubts.

That being said they can still be found. I found an ASM 35 center a few years back that came back 9.4.
