Earl Davis said it was posted at CPG first, so they should get credit.

As that linked thread says I posted the first picture of the newsstand 2nd. print to the CPG  forum  - in a thread called something like "hey earl - dc giveaways"- I know Jerome Wenker at least initially thought it was a Photoshop effort when he mentioned it on STL forum so it had to be the only reference to  it out there at the time, funnily enough given recent discussions it was a random 2nd print supplied by mycomicshop.com .

thanks.   Yes, it is nice to see the Superman and Batman 2nd print newsstands together.   I should do some closeup looks at them to see if there's any clues about when they were made.

I found one

[RockMyAmadeus]

Yay!

Did you find it with the Firestorm #23 you have behind it?

By the way...may I ask where you found it?

Yes but no, that is an All-Star Squadron 63.  They came from a second hand store near Vancouver Canada.

Oops!

I should have looked closer. It's not even the same color!

Still...Canadian newsstand version!

Thanks for the info on where. That's quite an interesting location. I think another was found in North Carolina, which is the other side of the continent.

Interesting!

I would've passed it right by except for this thread!  Good stuff here.

That looks like an amazingly good copy.

agreed... it looks like the best condition we have seen yet.   Mine was a FN+ at best.

[cranky's]

It's pretty nice.  Corner creasing near the upc.  VF+ I think at least.

Got mine on ebay via best offer.  Fairly nice, maybe VF/NM.  Don't know if the seller is a board member or not (drewthebeliever).  Very happy to get this.  Thanks for the interesting thread.

Got my grade!

I decided to collect all print versions for Robin #1 so I needed to get a 1st print newsstand, a 2nd print and a 3rd print.

Instead of a 1st print newsstand, I was sent this copy:

Lucky me!

[bffnut]

Awesome! And it looks like it's in decent shape, too.
