One thing I have always been curious about is the ratio of copies with a regular smooth cut right edge versus the manufacturing defect of the ragged right edge. I have 5 copies of the book myself. 2 were original copies I bought from my LCS in Canada and they both had the ragged edge. Of my other 3 copies, 1 has the ragged edge and 2 have a smooth cut edge. I remember going through the bins of local Toronto shops and at shows and not being able to find a smooth cut right edge. I bought 2 copies from the U.S. off eBay back in the early 2000's and I suspect those were the 2 with the smooth edges, but I can't remember. CGC doesn't detract for the defect since the 2 copies I bought from my LCS came back 9.8 and 9.6.

What are other owners' experiences with the book? Did Canada get screwed with the manufacturing defect? 

 

I purchased 80 copies from my LCS in Toronto (Jimmy from Shooting Star) and I recall some has the jagged cut, but no more than 10 out of the 80 copies.

the comics were printed by Quebecor at that time, right?

Might as well post these here..... in case anybody missed it in the other thread. Tons of work put into these shows. If you are even a little bit interested in the foreign 300's I think you might dig this show?

I had a 9.4 Newstand I sold last year.  Would like to pick up a raw newsstand sometime this year but not rushing out for it.  As much as I didn't care for the book last time I had it, my eyes are always drawn to the artwork and that hit of nostalgia from remembering this cover as a teenager at the small local Hilton conventions.

Got my second copy.  CGC 8.0 white, newsstand. A bit of SCS I believe, but that can happen.

Hi, ASM 300 aficionados!

While I continue to wait for some additional copies to be returned from CGC, I decided to take some group pics from part of my collection.

here are some details:

1. all are sig series, except for 1 copy that I picked up recently with Todd and Stan’s sigs directly on the CGC case
2. most are signed by 4 creators who worked on ASM 300 - McFarlane, Salicrup (editor), Sharen (colorist & tough sig to get... he also coloured McHulk 340), Parker (lettered & Beavis & Butthead artist)
3. a handful of issues also have Stan’s sig
4. 3 copies in 9.8
5. 19 copies in 9.6
6. 7 copies in 9.4
7. 4 copies in 9.2
8. 1 copy in 8.5

sooooo, that’s a lot of copies, but I’m always looking for more as I continue my personal quest of obtaining 80 copies (that’s the number of copies I purchased when the comic was published).

hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I do.
