Based on the known print run numbers as revealed by Overstreet and other sources, and based on our own estimate for the first-print newsstand sales, my expectation would be that if the market is responding to relative rarity then we might see the following relationship:.
Starting with the lowest reported print runs, we have a tie between the Platinum and the 2nd print Gold newsstand UPC coded copies, at 10, The UPC coded gold copies, however, were sold to the general public through Walmart. Many would have been read; some would have been thrown out.
As expected, green direct editions in 9. And the market does indeed seem to reward the no-cover-price silver direct editions with a premium over the regular silver copies:. First print newsstand copies do indeed seem to get a market premium, and are the next-strongest among the recent auction results:. But the next result is a surprise to me… beating both the 1st print newsstand copies and the no-cover-price silver copies, are the regular direct edition gold copies!
Given the huge print run difference, this comes as a surprise to me although given the Mile High listing noted earlier, and the CPG guided value, I suppose I should have been prepared for it :.
This seems out-of-whack to me, with the gold direct editions looking overvalued to my way of thinking, and the 1st print newsstand copies undervalued by comparison the no-cover-price silver copies looking undervalued by comparison as well. And then for platinum copies, I was surprised to find no 9. Newsstand copies of 13, on the other hand, are selling at quite a notable premium and also much higher than newsstand copies of 1 :.
I also know that there are many collectors out there who like to collect sets and will simply want one of each possible version of Spider-Man 1 from and possibly beyond too. But there are also those of us who look for relative value within the comic book marketplace and act accordingly. Like Like. Great piece. There was no Gold Poly Bagged Edition though. That book is a fake, was never released originally and should not have been sold by MyComicShop. WOW Ronnie, what a stunner of a collection, Bravo to you!!!
Or, was the copy sold by MCS publicly exposed to be a fake like perhaps the buyer scrutinized the polybag and found evidence it had been opened and re-sealed, and posted that evidence online?
In our opinion this book appears to be 9. Ronnie, based on what you see in these pictures and the listing link, do you expect that this is a fake? And how are they accomplishing and getting away with it? I checked to see if the buyer had left any negative feedback on the transaction, and actually they were happy with it and left a positive, so, if this was indeed a fake, then it was a good enough one to have fooled the buyer into believing it was legitimate.
Any further details you can give to explain what you know about these and why you state they are fake would be greatly appreciated!! Or, the lower graded count could account for the fact that the Gold UPC books were sold at Wal Mart only, without bags or boards.
I believe the Gold UPC is the rarest original SM 1 book out there, by far, despite Platinum commanding premium prices it is much better looking, overall. Green 2. Gold 3. Platinum 4. Poly-Bagged Edition 5. Poly-Bagged Silver Edition 6. Silver Edition 7. UPC Gold Edition. Silver Edition 6. Platinum Edition 10K Print Run 8. I have seen and verified both.
Note: If you don't send the Poly-Bagged book to CGC in perfect sealed condition, they will note the book as the un-bagged version. This adds to the confusion. My list above is the definitive list as of now, ha and should be used as a reference. I am always trying to update it, so if new data comes to light, I will use it. Like Liked by 1 person. What are the top picks to own and further which have the greatest return trends to date?
Cert Search. Cert Search Close panel. CGC Lookup. Scan Label. How to Scan. Take a clear picture of the certification number on the front of the label. Good Scan. Cert number is clear and easy to read. Bad Scan. Blurry numbers can't be read. Variant November 30, Ah, Duh! This books are beautiful and very limited.
Given only to dealers as I recall. I have only ever seen one at a comic store in my life and I bought it. ASM Very much in demand in Denver. Just my opinioin. I have owned and sold all of them. Total garbage. Talk about keyword spamming. Paying the same price for a reprint made a decade later then the original is just I'd save that money and buy the 1st print ASM instead.
Any time you can't find a book in Overstreet, make sure you check the "official" title in the indicia on the bottom of the first interior page the fine print.
The problem you're having will almost always be a misunderstanding as to the official title. That leads newbie specs to believe it's a real ASM , and not a recent reprint, and is the same rip-off as these chumps selling Action 1 or Detective 27 reprints as the real thing. This issue is worth very little, and only by fraudulently disguising it as an ASM Variant can the newbs be fooled into paying high prices for it. Well that is funny see wizard list them as chromium editions under the original issue.
And they list them at pretty much what they are worth. Fact is some of them were low print runs even though they are reprints. Try finding an asm cgc 9.
Fact is these are sharp they are a variant and even though they are expensive it is still cheaper than buying a regular asm in 9. That's because they're stupid and lazy. It's obvious that the comic in question is NOT an Amazing Spider-man just look at the indicia or the CGC label and Wizard is just propogating the scam by not wanting to list it properly and alphabetically.
