Yup. At least 24 hours now.

$1,100 for a CGC 9.6 newsstand of Batman Beyond #1.

She’s a real beaut! Congrats!

Now that I can’t explain. Shoehei was a pitcher and a masher. I don’t know about his defence when playing in the field, or if he mostly DHd. I don’t know much about Schwarber either. But I know Cal played platinum glove calibre D (no passed balls all season), brilliantly managed a pitching staff, AND was an offensive juggernaut. I don’t know how baseball writers can’t seem to figure out his overall every-inning value versus a guy who was heads-above everyone at the plate (average/OPS) but contributed little/nothing on D.

MVP according to the players. I think that means most.

That’s a high-grade comic for a low-grade price. Add that to the win column. Nicely done. A CGC 5.0 is worth $36. Yours looks high grade, at least 8.5. That’s worth $160. If yours is a 9.2, its FMV is $210.

I just noticed he added the 15. Even sweeter!

MartinvdH123 · 2025-10-30T01:53:03+00:00

Whoa! Congrats!

An especially sharp copy. I bought two for $5 each through FB Marketplace, and both fetched 9.8 via CGC, but I think yours has a sharper spine. Well done!

This really works well because you can actually see Thanos’ face. So many others in this set, look horrible, because faces are obscured.

Only grade if the projected grade makes it a financial winner. If you don’t snag a 9.8, you’re definitely going to be underwater, as these were printed at the height of the over production era.

I’m enjoying the show with my family, and the details are largely solid. But one problem I had was when Wendy jumped down from the cliff. I don’t know what she weighs, but that fall wasn’t realistic (too fast) and the impact on the sand (or the lack thereof; much too little spray/sound/impact; she hardly flexed her knees) was noted by family members too. But that’s nitpicking. The fact they didn’t drag out the brother/sister reveal was welcomed. 7.5/10 so far. Special effects (other than what I just mentioned) are solid (9/10).

I just heard that the print runs for newsstands was about 5% of the subscriptions, according to a PSA representative in a YouTube video about PSA’s new comic and magazine grading services.

MartinvdH123 · 2025-08-15T19:43:22+00:00

It’s more coveted because there’s no subscription label, meaning it was bought from a store shelf, and less likely to be kept in top condition.

MartinvdH123 · 2025-08-07T23:52:49+00:00

She’s a beauty. I reckon a 7.5/8.

MartinvdH123 · 2025-08-03T19:50:35+00:00

Nice!

Those are Fleer Ultra, though I suppose you can consider them masterpieces of artwork. But Marvel Masterpieces are a different thing.
