Have you managed to find any books outside of the known ASM date range that I published at the start of the thread @nesqrick2 (copied below)? It would be cool to see a book dated in the 'unproven' range, as this would indicate that it's corresponding ASM might exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The issue number (329) is cover dated February 1996 so coincides with the ASM #408 I posted: This supports my ASM number range research (extract from earlier in the thread): Amazing Spider-Man Australian Newsstands Issue No. / Indicia Date / Cover Price (AUS) / Cover Date 341 Nov-90 Australian $1.50 Feb Cover Date 342 Dec-90 Australian $1.50 Mar Cover Date 343 Jan-91 Australian $1.50 Apr Cover Date 344 Feb-91 Australian $1.50 May Cover Date 345 Mar-91 Australian $1.50 Jun Cover Date 346 Apr-91 Australian $1.50 Jul Cover Date 347 May-91 Australian $1.50 Aug Cover Date 348 Jun-91 Australian $1.50 Sep Cover Date 349 Jul-91 Australian $1.50 Oct Cover Date 350 Aug-91 Australian $1.50 Nov Cover Date 351 Sep-91 Australian $1.50 Dec Cover Date 352 Oct-91 Australian $1.50 Jan Cover Date 353 Nov-91 Australian $1.50 Early Feb Cover Date 354 Feb-92 Australian $1.50 Late Nov 91 Indicia 355 Dec-91 Australian $1.50 Early Mar Cover Date 356 Dec-91 Australian $1.50 Late Mar Cover Date 357 Jan-92 Australian $1.50 Early Apr Cover Date 358 Jan-92 Australian $1.50 Late Apr Cover Date 359 Feb-92 Australian $1.80 May Cover Date 360 Mar-92 Australian $1.80 Jun Cover Date 361 Apr-92 Australian $1.80 Jul Cover Date 362 May-92 Australian $1.80 Aug Cover Date 363 Jun-92 Australian $1.80 Sep Cover Date 364 Jul-92 Australian $1.80 Oct Cover Date 365 Aug-92 Australian $5.95 Nov Cover Date 366 Sep-92 Australian $1.80 Dec Cover Date 367 Oct-92 Australian $1.80 Jan Cover Date 368 Nov-92 Australian $1.80 Early Feb Cover Date 369 Nov-92 Australian $1.80 Late Feb Cover Date 370 Dec-92 Australian $1.80 Early Mar Cover Date 371 Dec-92 Australian $1.80 Late Mar Cover Date 372 Jan-93 Australian $1.80 Early Apr Cover Date 373 Jan-93 Australian $1.80 Late Apr Cover Date 374 Feb-93 Australian $1.80 May Cover Date 375 Mar-93 Australian $5.95 Jun Cover Date 376 Apr-93 Australian $1.95 Jul Cover Date 377 May-93 Australian $1.95 Aug Cover Date 378 Jun-93 Australian $1.95 Sep Cover Date 379 Jul-93 Australian $1.95 Oct Cover Date 380 Aug-93 Australian $1.95 Nov Cover Date 381 Sep-93 Australian $1.95 Dec Cover Date 382 Oct-93 Australian $1.95 Jan Cover Date 383 Nov-93 Australian $1.95 Feb Cover Date 384 Dec-93 Australian $1.95 Mar Cover Date 408 Feb-96 Australian $2.50 Feb Cover Date 410 Apr-96 Australian $2.50 411 May-96 Australian $2.50 412 Jun-96 Australian $2.50 413 Jul-96 Australian $2.50 414 Aug-96 Australian $2.50 415 Sep-96 Australian $2.50 416 Oct-96 Australian $2.50 417 Nov-96 Australian $2.00 I've run through the thread in full and looked at all the additional comics @nesqrick2 has posted and they all also line up with the ASM US indicia dates. His Avengers West Coast #64 lines up with the first ASM on my list - number 341 - both comics have November 1990 US indicias, albeit the ASM has a Feb AUS cover date and the Avengers West Coast 64 a Jan: The Newsstand website shows both were US cover dated the same month: So my research was either spot on, and these are the only dates / numbers produced, or there's another copy out there yet to be discovered (e.g. ASM 409 which is conspicuous by it's absence) Keep looking guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Get Marwood & I 12,452 posts Posted November 20, 2017 Following on from the above post, here's a picture of The Avengers #325, Australian Price Variant, swiped from eBay: Like the West Coast Avengers #64 it also has a Jan AUS cover date. The Newsstand website however shows it as having an October US indicia / cover date: Which makes you wonder if ASM 340 should exist as an AUS copy. The confusion seems to be that the Avengers #325 is a 'Late October' book, whereas ASM 340 is a straight October. So you can sort of see how the Avengers snuck in. But who knows? Maybe an ASM #340 has just yet to be found..... Now, if you understood any of that you're one step ahead of me! All good fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Get Marwood & I 12,452 posts Posted November 20, 2017 One last post from me. Here's how to spot your AUS comics when scrolling through eBay Australia. Three copies here: Australian US Newsstand US Direct When you're scrolling down the eBay listings, the directs are easy to spot as they have picture UPC boxes. So you need to look for barcode copies. However, both the Australian and US newsstand copies have barcodes, so how can you spot the Australian without having to look at every listing? One easy time saver is to look at the price box - the US Newsstand copy will have the 'cc' mark (Curtis Distribution) under the date. The AUS copy won't: So if you train your eye right, you can whizz down the listings just looking for barcode copies without the 'cc' (which will look like a small dot in the small images of the listings page) and you'll be sure it's an AUS if you see one. It worked for me! 2 nesqrick2 and ADAMANTIUM reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
