What made you get into collecting Newsstand editions?
Idk. My curiosity got it started. After doing an inventory of my books a few years ago I noticed I had a dozen or so New X-Men that we’re newsstands and I tried to sell them and no one wanted them. I didn’t really think much of it until I started actively collecting again.
I was looking for a first appearance of Fantomex when I started back up and noticed a lot of Directs and just one or two Newsstands. I did some research online and never looked back.
I mean myself as a collector if I’m getting a key book or any book really and there’s a few versions of the book I want the rarest version. It’s fun hunting them down and getting great deals on them.
Thanks for the info. I’ll start to keep an eye out one them if I find any and see what you think. Hopefully I can start a newsstand collection.
I had to scroll down way to far to find my favorite topic. I’m temporarily fixing that with this mornings pickup. Came in a set with #1 but that was a Direct Edition. It doesn’t have any firsts or deaths but it’s a striking white cover.
Not a recent find but something I found in my collection as I rebag and board. Action Comics #765 Newsstand. Sells well on eBay. Classic Harley in Action Newsstand. Used to buy a lot of comics from the newsstand back in the day.
My collection is so weird I went through it I saw My Miles Hip Hop, AoA RIRi and regular #9s. Went through it again to grab what I want graded didn’t see them. Now I have to go through it a third time lol
That’s not them being weird, that’s just called… unorganized…
So if anyone’s interested and doesn’t know I moved all my purchases including newsstands over to my own pickup and sales thread. Lots of new modern newsstands to see.
Very cool! I actually have one newsstand coming my way of a favorite, “Moon Knight,” comic from the 2000’s. I’ll share when I get it. I’ll never rival your collection, Todd, but I can have a few cool books
I’ve got a copy of Black Panther 2 (1st Shuri) in newsstand, but no one seems to care about her… I don’t get it
A newsstand copy of my favorite issue of, “Moon Knight,” from Charlie Huston’s run. A present to myself for the hernia surgery and eBay offering me 5% bucks for a couple days I decided to take advantage of!
I am bringing the topic back baby. Yeah. I am bagging and boarding old comics (have 5 short boxes left in need of fresh bags and boards) and came across this one.
Here is a newsstand I don’t think I have shared on here. Back when I was doing cbcs signature witnessing I had a book I needed to get signed by Chris Claremont and John Byrne. So I picked this up at NYCC and had them both sign.
Yeah, I remember standing in line to hold your position for Chris Claremont cause you ran off somewhere else and almost missed it cause I had to let 2 people go in front of me… Mmmmm… Hmmmm… you’re welcome!
At least he thanked you that night at the hotel
MMmm… Hmmmm…
And every day and night thereafter in the basement…
