nbsp Item Description

This listing nbsp from a smoke free home nbsp is for a X signed CGC . NM/MT Signature Series copy of the dramatically-more-rare Newsstand Edition version of Amazing Spider-Man 00, Marvel Comics, / 0 . nbsp A mega-KEY issue featuring the death of Peter Parker, and one of the most interesting Amazing Spider-Man covers of all time, a Garcin collage cover that is so unique that it should go down in history as a modern classic cover in my opinion nbsp This copy achieved the coveted . NM/MT grade tier, with perfect WHITE pages, and has been QUADRUPLE-SIGNED under the Signature Series by DAN SLOTT, HUMBERTO RAMOS, GIUSEPPE CAMUNCOLI, and the late great legendary STAN LEE nbsp The signatures are all in matching black sharpie please scroll through the attached pictures, I ve included a close-up picture of the signature area. Among the countless gifts Stan Lee gave to collectors was how he embraced the CGC Signature Series, creating a unique class of books for us where the Yellow Label signifies his autograph of the book was witnessed by CGC nbsp before being immediately taken into their possession and encapsulated, for permanent signature authentication... and then with Yellow Label copies counted distinctly among each census entry. nbsp nbsp As of December 0 the CGC census shows a grand total of just collage-cover Signature Series copies of this issue number Think about how low this number is, if we were talking about a printed comic book variant of this issue number called the Stan Lee CGC Signature Series variant... any variant with that kind of minuscule print run would be considered unbelievably rare. nbsp Well, due to the fact that CGC labels Signature Series books distinctly and also counts nbsp these Signature Series copies distinctly, we can indeed nbsp think of Stan Lee CGC Signature Series books of each issue almost as a variant of sorts nbsp for any given issue in that nbsp a now-fixed limited number exist signed by Stan Lee, with a maximum count that can be looked up issue by issue on the census.... And in actuality, those copies are further divided into DIRECT EDITION vs. NEWSSTAND copies, where the direct editions are dramatically more prevalent, and the newsstand copies are far more scarce in fact, industry insider Chuck Rozanski estimates the 0 Marvel newsstand sales ratio at or : 00 nbsp So owning a Stan Lee CGC SS NEWSSTAND copy is the most rare play On page of this year s Overstreet, Steve Ricketts of CBCS discusses Newsstand comics and states that CBCS has seized the reins on this niche of the hobby, by being the only grading service to identify Newsstand and Direct Edition copies in the variant field of the label. nbsp He goes on to say, As years progressed, Newsstand copies became more and more scarce, with the Newsstand copies of some comics being incredibly hard to find. nbsp The hobby will start to learn about the scarcity of each issue in the coming years. nbsp More information is better for everyone, especially involving something that was hiding right under our very noses. Hopefully CGC will one day follow in CBCS s lead in breaking out newsstand copies broadly, but as of today newsstand copies of ASM 00 are not differentiated on census by CGC, they are instead lumped together with direct editions so that number from earlier is the number inclusive of both types . nbsp Even though CGC currently fails to tell them apart however, in-the-know collectors can very easily tell the more-rare newsstand copies apart from their prevalent direct edition counter-parts for ourselves by looking at the UPC code box: newsstand copies of ASM 00 SAY NEWSSTAND on them, while direct edition copies SAY DIRECT EDITION on them instead: so the publisher has marked them differently and thus collectors should treat them differently just as CBCS has started to treat them differently Here s an opportunity for you to own a STAN LEE CGC SS NEWSSTAND copy of Amazing Spider-Man 00 nbsp Offered at NO RESERVE AUCTION nbsp BID NOW
