And yes, that is the problem with that issue: the matte black varnish is truly unforgiving. Yes full coloring. We had a small studio and 4 of us worked on this book although two of us did the bulk of it, myself and one other. vaillant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also a graphic designer, so I am more curious than I should! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrocHntr Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 New Mutants #98 for me. I really don't know why, because I've never been a huge Deadpool fan. But for some reason I got an itch to find an "undiscovered" character and bought 10 copies or so from $5 to $10 each on the community section of comicspriceguide.com from various folks. After eventually grading them, I ended up with a couple of 9.6 copies and most of the rest were 9.4. I probably sold shortly before the peak, but it was a nice kick to the finances to help me support my Golden Age addiction! gadzukes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not buy it when it came out, then restarted out of curiosity to see which kind of a mess David Quinn would have been able to do given Marvel’s left him loose and ended up almost liking it, so I’d like like to have a "flawless" copy of #60. Luckily DeMatteis came to the rescue and did some intelligent things in the end. Thomas did not work much well on Dr. Strange vol. 3. I looked and I only had one copy that was pristine the rest had color breaks. I did find a couple of other things though while I was looking. I have a stack of DS Annual #$ that I worked on and was given to me while visiting the marvel offices. I also came across some color keys (proofs) of DS #60. The annuals are perfect shape too. Worthless but perfect lol. vaillant and F For Fake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudson Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) If I remember correctly, the first comic I ever "hoarded" was New Teen Titans #1. When this book came out, I bought all the copies I could find; which I believe was 8 copies. Although I usually never sell any comics, I did find myself in my LCS a few years later and the owner was looking for copies of NTT #1. I think I ended up trading him 5 copies of #1 and maybe one copy of one of the later issues in exchange for the following book (plus I may have also received another less impressive Action in the deal - but I can't recall what that was).

KirbyJack Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Not newsstand stuff, but back when they were cheap, I'd buy every copy of ff annual 6 I could lay my hands on. I used to give them away to fellow nerds who hadn't read it. I also owned 8 copies of FF 48 at one point. Now down to 2. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisco37 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 First one for me was McSpidey 1. I had 15-20 or so of each cover. Still have a few of them left. I bought a few copies of Hulk 377 when it came out and traded them away pretty quickly for BA Spidey's. Same with New Mutants 100, bought 10 copies and traded about half away a month later when it debuted in CVM for $10 or so for BA Spidey's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
