This points out the flaw in the census for looking for newsstands. They weren't labeled as such.

Outlier.

Not to turn this into an exclusive Image newsstand thread but;

I have seen The Maxx newsstands up until 5 or 6. Does anyone have any idea how far they went? I would love to find a #35 NS copy. I have only ever found 1 direct copy in the wild.

Yeah I just think Image newstands will break out one day.   Its always cool finding them in 1 dollar boxes cuz no one cares about them (except only a very small percentage of this thread .)

Just graded...3/13 in 9.8, Universal labeled, non-prism foil regular cover (Newsstand) edition. 

These issues were also pulled from the same 'dollar' long box as The Maxx #1, Newsstand, which graded 9.6.

3/13? Last year? I love purchasing newsstand Image. Found quite a few last week in $1 boxes myself.

Man that Shadowhawk NS 1 looked sweet.

High grade on those Image newsstands are tough. I still find them, but rarely in NM on any title.

I agree. I just grab them unless they look totally destroyed, but getting a 9.4 or higher is rough.

Rare...this one was not found in a 'dollar'long box. It spent more than two decades hiding in plain sight at a now closed local comic shop.

According to the owner, the book arrived alongside all the other regular, gold foil stamped, direct edition issues in that week's new books shipment.

I have an issue of The Maxx in the teens that's a newsstand edition (I think it's 16, 17, or 18, I'll have to check), so I'm assuming up into the teens at least.

 

Edit: never mind... my memory failed me, it was actually issue #24, so even later, I guess.

Awesome find there. Doesn't look like any of the metal is on that book.  My Wildcats 2 had some metal flake on it what I neat find.

Does CGC designate (describe) error books on the slab when it isn't a well know error (like the venom book)? i feel like they do, sometimes?

I believe manufacturing errors are noted on label text, which should read "manufactured without gold foil" or something to that effect.

This example was found in the Wild, during the summer of 2017. Awaiting submission for CGC grading, TBD...

Local show, dealer had purchased a lot.

There are several copies of Spawn 1 that had problems with the black ink. Here's one that sold high with no black ink.

I just picked up a set of Invincible 16-25 out of a dollar bin NM.  Other than being low print, is there anything of significance after I read them? 

[fastballspecial]

There are a few 1st app from memory, but I think that ends around 20. The rest are just low print books. Great finds at that price.
