	I've got 2 pretty tough to find newsstands on consignment at Mycomicshop via BIN or Best Offer .... Unfortunately, MCS doesn't currently break out distinctions of newsstand or direct market copies in their listing title or description for either of these 2 books..... I don't want to bother Este with requests to create new litings just for these 2 books so my loss if your gain 1) Amalgam Age of Comics TPB 1996 DC/Marvel The DC Collection #1 1st Print NEWSSTAND EDITION The direct market copies will read "DIRECT MARKET" on the UPC code box, while newsstand variants will just have a bar code. Refer to the BC scan. If you look this book up on ebay, and look at the seller's images, you'll see the print run on newsstands of this book was likely around 5% to 10% of the direct market print run. https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=60218709 MyComicShop has this book graded much too tightly IMHO.... I'd put it at an 8.0/8.5 from CGC or CBCS if slabbed, as is. I have it at $62 B/O on MCS, it's mirrored on eBay at $75 B/O. CBCS or CGC boardie price is $50 via a best offer thru the link below. Note if you send an offer of $50 thru the mirrored eBay listing, the offer I will receive will be $42. 2) Star Wars #75 Dark Horse 1998 Volume CGC 9.4 4/2005 NEWSSTAND EDITION https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=59886042 This book is the ONLY newsstand copy of this grade graded by CGC, making it the highest graded Note that this book was graded before CGC started notating "NEWSSTAND EDITION" on labels of newsstand variants. GoCollect's picture galleries for sold copies of this book (CGC and CBCS) shows that every sold slabbed copy of this book is indeed a direct market copy. There are 0 copies of this book notated as NEWSSTAND EDITION in the CGC Census. Star Wars Dark Horse newsstands are identifiable by the typeset on the UPS code on the cover....newsstands from the mid 2000's are TOUGH and this is the second to last issue of this title, IIRC... Newsstand editions on Dark Horse star wars titles will read the title of the book , as this book shows...direct market copies will read "DIRECT MARKET" in the UPS box. Last I looked, there was one raw newsstand copy of this book on eBay, ungraded and it looked around a VF .... it was priced around what I'm asking thru mycomicshop.com Taking offers thru the link at mycomicshop. Feel free to send an offer thru ebay, butkeep in mind the offer I receive will be around 15% less than the same figure sent directly thru the link in this thread.

	Can you clarify what this means? "If you look this book up on ebay, and look at the seller's images, you'll see the print run on newsstands of this book was likely around 5% to 10% of the direct market print run." How do you determine print runs by looking at seller's images.

	Ughhh…. I’m spending too much time on this thread. But yeah…. Bump: Price cut to $42 on the Amalgam newsstand TPB. I’ll eat a few bucks and be happy with another $35 in store credit at MCS.

	Oddly enough, 2 newsstand copies of this 1st print Age Of Amalgam TPB have been listed on ebay, this week. Mycomicshop posted a few copies of this TPB at $36 to $48 months ago, I snagged one at $36 (plus tax), all of the others sold the same day they were posted. this book, even direct copies was selling around $75-$150 just half a year ago All the MCS copies sold at that time were graded at FN 6.0….. not sure why prices for the Amalgam TPB’s have dipped, other than a new Amalgam collection being reprinted…. Anyway, there’s a newsstand at a $30 BIN on ebay now and a newsstand in auction with a few days to go and 2 newsstand AOA TPB’s at $100 or BO, on ebay now…screenshot is of these newsstand listings.

I don’t determine print runs by looking at sellers’ images but if you look at sellers listings on ebay for a particular book over the course of 6+ months, you can extrapolate surviving newsstand copies by the number of direct market to newsstand copy ratio you see over that period. 5-10% is a stretch, I think newsstand runs were probably loser to 25% with the other 75% being direct. Newsstands didn’t hit the 5-10% mark til the later 2000’s. In the mid 1980’s, newsstand and direct market print runs were about 50/50. By 1996, direct market print runs were certainly higher than newsstand print runs.

So the 5-10% on this book was misleading since now you're saying it's closer to 25%.

I don’t know what the print rib on this book was, I was taking a guess based on a the amount of newsstand copies I’ve seen of this book vs the amount of direct copies I’ve seen for this book, over the past 6 months or so. I noted in a post today, entirely unprompted, that I saw 3 other newsstands on ebay, as of today. “Misleading” certainly brings with it negative connotations with it, as you used it in this post which I think is uncalled for.

	Hmmm...you have 3 sales announcement threads and in all the of those threads you admitted being wrong on the details you used to try to pump up the books. If it's not misleading then what do you call it?

If it's not misleading then what do you call it? I posted promotional links to 4 books I have on consignment with mycomicshop in the space of 3 threads, because the MCS listings do not make any mention of 3 of the books being newsstands and the 4th being a UPC stickered newsstand . You are baselessly accusing me of trying to pump and dump books, I take issue with this insult. Not because there’s any merit to it, but because you are wrong. 2 of the 4 books which you say I “admitted to lying about..” 2 of the 4 books I posted about I made follow up posts noting I was mistaken about something I posted about them. Those 2 books being newsstand Age of Analgam TPB & the other a UPC stickered Beavis and Butthead 23. WRT the AOA TPB:: Iliterally POSTED UP A SCREENSHOT FROM EBAY SHOWING THERE IS 3 OTHER NEWSSTACIPIES OF THIS TPB BESIDES MY MYCOMICSHOP consigned copy on ebay, with 2 of the 3 being listed well below my consignment. Go ahead and spend an hour looking at all the sold listings for copies of this TPB using ebay terrapeak for the last 6 months. I assure you that my statement of 5% to %10 of the copies will be newsstand copies, and a significant portion of the listings will not have BC pictures shown, where the UPC code is on this book. I posted this screenshot because I thought it remarkable. You than accused me of posting misleading info, ad naseum. Why would I post info showing other copies cheaper than my ONE copy, that you say I’m trying to pump and dump? Please tell me your ebay user ID and your CGC forums handle do I can block you there, after I block you here, feel free to DM them to me if you don’t care to share them publicly. Or better yet, consider dropping this unhinged crusade you are wrapping your 🧠 in, as I do appreciate your posts on occasion. Harassment and personal attacks on other board members are against CBCS forum rules.
