Show us your Modern Newsies! 22 22

Haven’t been around for a minute so need to look back through some of these.

 

with that said here’s one I’ve been looking for and happy to add

[BuraddoRun]

More HPB finds for half of cover price. The Aquaman is a little older but it's a cool book and a semi...minor...former key, I guess?

isn't that the 1st kid flash as well? If a "price edition", it might be fun. Ah, I checked, and it is a newsstand edition only, still  not bad!

Has anyone done a Top 10 type of list for modern newsstand grails?

[wardevil0]

Something of a minor key...

[wardevil0]

Most newsstands I've seen are the more eye-catching red, blue, or tri-colored...

Not that I've seen, but it's a cool idea! I don't know if I can come up with 10 off the top of my head, but a clear candidate for #1 would be Ultimate Fallout 4. Clone Wars 1 would be another big one I think. I'd personally also nominate Batman 1 New 52 (it goes for some decent money) and Detective 880. Batman 6 New 52 also. Maybe a couple of other Bat-keys too, like 655 (first Damien) and 635 (Jason Todd Red Hood), but I admittedly have a Batman bias, and those could be further down the list (or not on it at all). Spawn 1 should be on there too I think...

Wolverine (2009) #74 .

Has anyone ever seen a copy?

I haven't, and I have a decent chunk of Wolvie newsstands. Speaking of Wolverine, 88 could be a candidate, and Origins 10. But I feel like I'm just naming big keys in newsstand as opposed to "newsstand grails" like UF4.

Would Batman 457 2nd print newsstand be considered modern or copper? That would be a good one...

Great idea about a list of holy grails for newsstands  --though we should exclude cases where nobody has ever seen a newsstand copy (e.g., Wolverine #74  --I have every issue of the 2003 series from #40 through #90 in newsstand except #74, and I remember 2-3 years ago someone posted that he'd never seen a newsstand copy of #74, so there is a good chance it never came out as a newsstand).    Rare + pricey would fit the bill for a holy grain, imho (so, Ultimate Fallout #4 definitely qualifies).

Agreed on UF4.  Though not as popular, Captain Marvel #14 with Kamala's first cameo is also a modern Newsstand that would rank high on my list.  Vengeance 1 is on my shortlist too.

I got this from MCS, didn't even realize it was a NS until it was pointed out to me (on the left):

[BuraddoRun]

Just a couple found this weekend at HPB

 

[pmpknface]

I posted this one in the new in my collection thread, but not here.  I didn't even realize it was a NS copy until it arrived.     As @Qalyar pointed out to me, with the UPC on the back it may not be found in many collections if copies are in B&B's.  Plus it's likely not that big of an ordered book, as it's mainly a recap book meant to feed into the clone craziness, so kinda rare.  Likely not a big $ book, but it's cool!    Love the wrap cover too!
