I’d actually agree with this statement. What other Chain bookstores were still open and carrying comics? Only one I can think of is B&N. I forgot when Borders closed up but they’d be the only two.
i think the wording is what’s confusing…glad they’re changing it. It’s real or not. If they were in B&N then state it. Sources are important. When he says its one of the last DC newsstands ever produced, how does he know that? And what are the other books to mark as examples if this is true? Just saying it sounds like he’s stating a fact, when he doesn’t know.

I got my copy off a comic rack at Stop and Shop grocery store.
So this claim is completely inaccurate.

Once word gets out about this “sale” a lot of people who did buy a newsstand copy will be sending theirs in for grading. Even if there aren’t tons of 9.8’s out there the population is probably about to grow.

Yeah, I doubt a publisher would print Newstands for just one retailer in the world. If you even think like that or think it’s a possibility, you are an idiot.

Yup, same here. Eckerds was a one stop for just about everything, even your liquor.
My local 7-11 even rented VCR’s. We had comics, movies, and VCR’s. (Girlie mags behind the counter as well)
