@kaptainmyke I picked one up & am sending it in because my OCD demands it. Gotta have all the #300 swipes! Also, on the recent ASM's...I picked the variants I like; I got the Crain connecting set, the Bagley set, and the Midtown Venom/ASM connecting cover. That's enough for me; especially for a character that probably won't be around long. |

I think in order to compete with new characters with DC, I think Red Goblin could be a regular antagonist. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by thelastbardsaw this in the shelf in a comic shop while I was on a business trip and picked it up. Far more striking in real life than the images posted on the net. It's just a great cover.. Im not sure about its future spec value, but I love it. That said.. If little normie is the long term red goblin this is a great cover for an origin issue. |

Alternately, they could create a character called the "White Goblin" and set all his stories in a Men's restroom. | ||

variant covers should never count as first appearances. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmykewhy not? If its the first time the character appeared... How can that not count? Sure, can debate the principles of why marvel etc allow a first appearance on a shop variant cover rather than a standard run, but a first appearance is a first appearance... That can't change. When flicking through my asm box, the first time I see red goblin is when I get to my comic xposure variant of 796... And that comic indeed came out before all the other red goblin covers and appearances inside the book. |

Shatterstar is a good example. Cgc lists NM Annual 6 as a Shatterstar appearance that predates NM 99 (pin up). Cgc does not list NM 99 or 100 as a Shatterstar appearance in any capacity. I cannot find a cbcs label for NM annual 6 Cbcs lists NM 99 as Shatterstars first appearance (in cameo) Cbcs lists NM 100 as Shatterstars first full appearance. This clears up nothing, but I believe a cover appearance can be noted as an appearance that predates a "first appearance". Either way, it's up to the comic collecting community to decide what's "collectible" or significant in a characters introduction. |

I know there are other examples. Marvel age 91 predates Silver Surfer 44 and discusses the infinity gauntlet. I think marvel age may have has a black costumed spidey appearance that predates ASM 252. Will look into that. Spawns first appearance was also an article in another comic that predates Spawn #1. Wolverine was a sketch art in a comic years before hulk 180, I believe. Art even called him the wolverine, if I recall. Any other odd first appearances out there? Edit: marvel age 12: 1st black costume Malibu sun 13: first spawn |

Nevertheless, and regardless of which book the market ends up chasing, it is simply indistibutable the first cover appearance of red goblin on this comic run was on the shop variant.. It's up to the market what they value the most.. So far its the 797 Mayhew which is completely bonkers to me, but whatever as I collect the covers I want in my collection. CX 796 has significance to me being the first printed cover of red goblin. Mayhew 797 is a just bad cover swipe with a couple of hundred less copies than other virgin variants in the run. I would pay more for the cx cover over the mayhew any day of the week. Different strokes for different folks |

Got my ASM 799 Virgin/Trade dress Purillo variants today. Very sweet. Have to decide whether I keep them both, or pass one off to make a few extra $$ to spend on another key bronze age item... |
