Books you just cant find in the Wild 22 22

[Bird]

I went to a new LCS for me and was hoping to get a Spawn 1 cheap, and I did. It was a newsstand and they had quite a few of the early issues. But I was in a hurry and actually did not think clearly and left with only the #1. It is an hour away but I may go back sometime. Listed the #1 on ebay at $85 but no takers yet!

Same thing with trying to hunt down 3rd and 4th prints of some of those overprinted early 90s DCs. i just can't do it.  My lcs has several long boxes of this krap sitting around, i just can't go through every frigging copy of death of superman, superman scratches his butt 77 or whatever to determine what print it is...and the image newstand hunt, as already mentioed, gives me a migraine thinking about it...

I totally get it, but the DC 2nd+ prints aren't too bad because they have the roman numerals right in the corner box, so they're easy to spot as you flip. The Image Newsstands (and DCU logo variants) are more annoying because you generally need to see the bottom of each cover in order to scope out the UPC box (or lack thereof), which means deeper digging. That can be annoying if you're going through a ton of boxes.

but the dc second prints are generally not worth hunting though, right?  the 3rds and 4ths are "rare", no? they don't always show on the cover, right?

 I'm not sure about the value of 2nds specificlaly, I'd guess they'd tend to not be as valuable as the later, lower prints, but I don't really chase them much. The only ones I really look for are Bat-related, and most of the modern era have the roman numerals, I believe, I believe. The copper era books, the ones that came out in multipacks and the like, no, I don't think those have any exterior notation.

I've got a question pertaining to the Spawn #1 newsstand... looking at some listings on eBay, I'm not seeing all of these mentioning the centerfold. I'd imagine that most would contain them if they're being sold for $85 and up, but in my experience with many of the direct editions I've run across, the poster has been taken out and isn't even bagged with the sale. Question is, how much would the affect the value of a NM newsstand edition for a buyer like those of us on this board? Big deal or no? Also, does CGC recognize the absence of the poster and if so does it affect grade?

I was not aware of a centerfold poster. Off to check my two newsstand copies!

Of course it affects the grade or the label.. Incomplete

You can still get a 9.8 but it will be a green label.

Okay, I edited my ebay post to add that mine has the poster! Thanks for the info. Now someone needs to buy it! I need the cash for that 40000 book collection I am buying in the morning!

Oh good the "Books you can't find in the wild (but I just found one or more of them already or I wouldn't be posting because I don't really tell people about books I can't find in the wild, I post about books I JUST FOUND in the wild that I now want to sell) " thread is back.

 That was the first slight topic shift, from a little while ago.

Now it's the Image Newsstand Edition thread.

I've managed to dig up about five copies of WildCATS 2 NS in the past few months (only one in high grade, around 9.6, the others have all been around F/VF), but have only found one NS of WildCATS 1.

I've managed to snag three or four Shadowhawk 1 NS's, but again, they've all been mid-grade. I also managed to dig up a Deathblow 1 NS (around VF+) which is the only copy I've ever personally seen.

They're fun to hunt. You don't find them often, but when you do, they're usually cheap, because they've been tossed in with all of the other Image drek.

Did anyone ever confirm if there was a Youngblood 1 NS? I've never seen one, that's for sure.

...and now I'm eyeballing the early Image titles for newsstand versions, along with looking for the Roman numeral second and later printings on the DC 90s glut books. Man, I need to get a life!

I did find a Supreme Vol. 2 1 newsie and a Pitt 1 as well, so now I've got a collection going. Too late to turn back now!

Haven't found a Pitt 1 yet.

Let the Image Newsstand haters hate.

Painting a broad stroke there.

If you don't like it you don't have to post here you know that right?

It's easier to just give in and join us.

I bought a 400 book lot recently because I spied BA12.  I was just about to toss all these old Image books into the sell as bulk lot when I read about this newsstand Fad.  Spawn 2,3,4,6,7 and some savage dragon all newsstand and NM.  Bonus.
