Popular Post Crushingame Posted October 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Pretty happy with it. 😁 Local purchase from a meet up. Paid $330. I offered $300, but the guy wouldn’t budge. Pretty much told me to have a nice day 👋🏼. So I gave in🤷🏻♂️ Edited October 9, 2020 by Crushingame Morganmi, Jasonmorris1000000, ADAMANTIUM and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlord Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 So, I've been doing some organizing of some boxes of misc comics that aren't part of my collection. I've annotated my lists to identify which are direct, which are newsstand, and which are unidentified. I decided to filter on 1980 - 1994 for my Copper newsstand contributions, so here are those newsstand issues, as in anything with a UPC -- some are on the back cover! A No-Prize to anyone who spots any direct market no-UPC issues mistakenly included! Dmac538 and mec3437 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlord Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 There were 2,852 comics on my list. The images above are the 471 copper age UPC/newsstand issues. My direct issues are quite a bit more common and total 1,498 comics, so that's about 25% of these issues that I've identified that are newsies. Not that those figures mean anything, it's just an observation. If you're doing the math you'll notice that leaves a gap of 884 comics... of those 884 comics probably over half are independents such as Eclipse, Valiant, Pacific, Dark Horse, Innovation, First etc. But there are DCs and Marvels in the mix. Some of them may have been direct-only titles/issues or maybe just issues where only a newsstand version had a UPC but a direct copy had no marking, so they are not so readily identified. I know some indy publishers such as Now and Image clearly marked their newsstand issues but I'm not sure if that's the case with other indies or if they even had newsstand distribution. Anyone know which of the "major" indy publishers did only direct sales? Or which of them had newsstand sales, if that's the shorter list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
