lol I looked at the first sold listing, which was the X-force Dell Otto :sorry: I was following the conversation and was ??? wondering how it fit, I see the X-force your talking about now (thumbsu 

Ah, ha. The 2nd prints for Sex & Violence got real hot when Dell 'Otto picked up. They were selling for $100+ raw at one point.

Correct. 2 sold in last 2 days for $140

 

That price seems like fair market value.  Peak price was $300 which sent people submitting many more copies.  Before people start screaming about not being worth that amount, try submitting one yourself.  Many copies with printer streaks and all had impressions from the polybag and the card.  I finally got a 9.8 in my last submission (1 out of 3).  If you submit one, make sure to press it first as that is only way to get rid of the impressions.  If the impressions were heavy from stacking, even pressing won't get rid of it all.  Not as hard I thought to get a 9.8 but still not easy compared to other books.  9.6 is only $30 so we are looking at 5x the price for a 9.8.

no the crease is from the plastic bag its weird the back side of the plastic has a beveled edge to it so the crease should be in the back the front has just a slight edge to it yet the cover has a crease..i pressed the one up there if they were worth more at this time i would spend time on these but for 65 70 bucks i have bigger fish to fry..but yea i think the crease will press out i just have not tried yet..that one up there had no crease..but the next 2 i looked at had them i have not seen any damage from the cards yet..

Found 3 versions of X-Force 1 today.  Is there any premium for the newsstand version or just the inverse captain America?

What's this about an inverse cap?

Could you explain what that entails?

They were printed with the normal black color cap and a negative. 

I've found the negatives are a little harder to find of the two, though some believe it's 50/50. The upc is the hardest to find of the three.

Maybe the regional distribution wasn't even, but the overall numbers are equal?

To be honest, I just thought it was some weird printing error.  

No worries lol i didn't know anything at all, but at least now you know upc is the less common of the 3... :foryou:

I had bought some copies a long time ago at a LCS sidewalk sale, he even commented at the register because he knew I was just starting collecting again that I shouldn't bother with them...

Hey at least he was honest, but I haven't checked the copies for cap, upc or etc....

Let me know if you find a newsstand.  I guess that's the one to find from now on, lol.
