Anybody who pays a premium for stickers is absolutely insane. Do they think it's hard to copy them or something?

Well, it depends on the stickered issue.    Some were only printed as direct editions (I assume accidentally) with the sticker added later by Marvel (e.g., Spirits of Vengeance #13, Wolverine(2003) #44 --or #43, can't remember which, etc.), and I'd definitely pay a premium for those.   The stickered XMen(1991) #1 is a bit odd, those do exist with the UPC code and they are not that rare, so not sure that the stickered finds by F For Fake qualify as a rare collectible (but I'd certainly pay a bit of a premium for those as well, cool to have).

Would this be a store sticker or something? It’s placed over a newsstand box

Looks like it.

The problem with stickers (other than at least potentially being damaging) is that anybody can make one and attach it to anything at any time for any reason. While they were occasionally used during the distribution process, it's not at all difficult to duplicate those.

Not a priced edition 

But

Was at a store sale today. Cover price. The sale was essentially getting one free.

Original owner. I remember getting this from the corner spinner rack at a bookstore inside a mall. Used to love that bookstore.

Going through my Caps to re-appreciate my pair of 1st Winter Soldier books and noticed that my regular cover is a newsstand! I don't see to many of those on feebay at the moment so, that was nice.

It's up for debate, but copper is usually 80-89.... or thereabouts 

Some say bronze runs to 83-84,then its copper to 93-94....

But definitely 1980 isnt "modern" per se

But then you submit to cgc and they consider modern to be anything after 1975

For the boards safe to say at least after 94, per haps even 1990

CGC started in 2000, so they probably just said "25 years or newer".  They quickly realized that "modern" would be a moving target, but instead of keeping it a "25 years or newer" rule - they kept modern at 1975 and there are books that are turning 46 this year.  The alternative is to charge more for 1975-1995 (if they used 25 years), so I don't think anyone is complaining.

Nothing. It's just the name of a grading tier that was named 21 years ago. Do you collect comics from the Walkthrough era? How about the Economy era?

If I recall correctly, when CGC first opened Modern tier was 1980 and was moved back to 1975 at a later date.

I remember in 2016, thinking that people wouldn't really spend the extra cost to grade books like marvel premiere 16 2nd app or amazing adventures 11 or twelve that are so close to a cheaper rate

I don't recall my reasoning other than they weren't "major" keys or something

 I forgot to check the mail haha

Hope a 9.2 rings true
