Question for Spider-Man #1 Gold UPC Wal-Mart Edition Owners
0

13 posts in this topic

As far as I can tell, Spider-Man #1 and X-Factor #71 are the only two Gold/Silver/Copper additional printings released by Marvel in the early 90’s that have a UPC/barcode. X-Factor #71 states Second Printing in the indicia. Does Spider-Man #1 with the UPC also state this? Is it a 2nd printing? Thanks

All gold Spider-Man 1s should state Second Printing in the indicia, since the gold cover was the second printing.

All X-Factor 71 second printings have UPCs. This is not an indication that they were sold through the newsstand channel.

But everybody who collects comics know it is a second printing...or do they?!?!?(shrug)

No, definitely not. This hobby is filled with people happy to misinform and be misinformed, often at the same time, and resists and resents any correction of any kind as a personal attack against their character, integrity, intellect, experience, and their mother's honor.

Not that I'm bitter or anything. :D

That CGC label is incorrect.

If it weren't for being inconsistent, CGC wouldn't be consistent at anything.

This is correct. The Lizard does not appear in the second printing.
