Bought two copies of asm 252 at local 7-11 just after the magazine guy left. Had both graded along with X-Men 266 and NM 26 a few years ago, all newsstands, all came back 9.8. I'm not selling them anytime soon.
Batman #251 Oh Yeah !! One of my faves !❤ I am glad I bought a high grade copy of Omega Men 3 but there are so many 9.8s out there - having one isnt such a big deal. I really regret sleeping on Hulk 180. I sat happy with my 181 for years and figured I would get a 180 whenever...now it is expensive and Im going to have to shell out for it. ROM is a great character..too bad more people are only finding out about him now. I
Heir to the Empire has 377 direct 9.8’s and only 70 newstands in a 9.8. 538 9.6 vs 135 newsstand and 517 9.4 vs 116. Seems like all newsstands are quite a bit rarer. That gap should garner a difference in price.
@@easy_nator_gamer8498 I wonder why? Would be nice if all things being equal CPV's get mentioned considering many key CPV books get top dollar. Yet, some influencers look at GPA and avoid mentioning CPV sales. Wonder if someone is paying for the Mark J t-shirts some UA-cam influencers keep wearing. Seems strange ?
@@kentA205 I agree 100% just look at the census numbers. Some these CPV books are absolute ghosts. In fact I'd love to see a comparison of the Census numbers of key books between Mark J, Newsttand and CPV. I also wonder what the percentage of these books were being printed as CPVs in comparison with Newsstand and Mark J percentages. I've mentioned it before about the CPVs, living in Canada and getting your books home in mint condition back in the day especially during winter was a struggle! I've only ever seen Tom mention CPV one time years ago, it was a $600 sale CPV newsttand of TMNT adventures 1 (archie series) I think. But yeah absolute facts! Tom goes hard on the Mark Js and Newsttands without ever mentioning the Canadian Price variants despite the sales and low census numbers.
@@easy_nator_gamer8498 I agree with you 100 percent. This is why we must take what UA-cam influencers have to say with a grain of salt. What we watch on UA-cam does not always reflect a well-researched and honest account of the top books being sold! It's unfortunate that so many follow blindly without doing their own research.
Rom spec this week, and Micronauts spec recently too?!? What in the heck is going on in the comic universe!! Definitely couldn’t have predicted those books getting heat.
@@anthonyyoung6433 Rare in high grade, but not rare. The dollar bins are full of Rom and Micronauts books, and a lot of them are newsstand issues. But most wont grade above FN+. I have put together almost complete runs of both Rom and Micronauts out of my LCS' $1.99 bins over the past few years.
There has been a lot of spec surrounding Hasbro properties the past few months. Both ROM and Micronauts were both ( finally) given omnibuses recently - that is why there is renewed interest.
Isn't the whole "movie comic spec" played out yet? It's getting old. Really it's enough. But if anyone wants to buy my Omega Men 3 based on speculation and rumors about Jason Momoa, I'd be happy to sell it to you for $5000. It might be worth that one day right? Isn't that the game? Don't miss out!!!
How does the the census count for ASM #78 9.6 go down? How would CGC know someone cracked it? I suppose the only way the the count could go down is to resubmit the slab and have CGC crack, press, grade.
You send in the label with the book. Out of census curiosity. To be honest I never do. Haven’t done many crack/press/clean maybe 5 in my life, but 1000 collectors each do 5 and don’t send in the label, that’s 5000k books that aren’t really on the census anymore.
James Gunn needs to shake things up. No Luthor. Have Supes fight Brainiac. No Joker in Batman, maybe have Green Arrow face off with Joker. Get rid of Marvel family, just keep Cap Marvel(Shazam). Have Batman face off against something like the Mud Pack. Batman should show humility and travel globe to learn new skills. Bring Lady Shiva into the DC movies. And have supernatural characters pop up everywhere. I would like to see a WW2 WW movie with one or 2 JSA characters. what does everyone else think?
The best book out of the spider verse Hass to be Spider-Man India. Not trending yet, but when it does, I think it’s going to be a very hot book especially in a 9.8. They’re very few and the paper quality is not the best.
Some people want to keep the senses up to date so when they crack, press and submit they will also send in the old label from the cracked book. CGC will then remove the old one from the census.
@David Farrington Usually they send in the old label, but in rare books, if one 9.6 comes off and a 9.8 goes right up, then it was most likely cracked, pressed, and resubmitted.
What's funny is some of these comics like Nick fury with agents of shield and secret invasion, they probably went down because the D+ show was a disaster, such a letdown for a lot of people 👎🏼
I picked up 10 copies of ASM 252 from my LCS when I was in high school. It was my first spec play in comics. I think I did alright.
I’d say you did great
I think you shouldn’t compare prices to the ‘Boom’ in 2021, that was a perfect storm and those prices are inflated. Things have come back to reality.

ASM 252 (9.8) Canadian Price Variant sold recently between $3000-4000
That clone wars #1 is awesome, and the 1 in 1000 variant cover is just as cool.
you know newsstands command more due to lower print runs and inferior handling by common folks
All right! 5/10 with multiples of them!! Market looks poised to start a little climbing on some Bronze & Copper!
Expect to see some Flash books on the list next week?! Transformers maybe? Interesting few weeks for movies
I got my ASM 252 signed by Stan the Man himself and graded at a 8.0. New to this channel and loving it! Great content!
ASM252- I got it off the rack. A classic!
SW Heir to the empire newsstand.. with the material used for the cover.. ridiculous to find in very high grade.
Heir to the Empire has 377 direct 9.8’s and only 70 newstands in a 9.8. 538 9.6 vs 135 newsstand and 517 9.4 vs 116. Seems like all newsstands are quite a bit rarer. That gap should garner a difference in price.
Do you know if any comic company just sells readers? 1.0’s or .5’s just for reading? Awesome concept.
Sold my Batman 251 in 9.4 2 months ago. $2400.00.
I picked up a few raw keys from the bronze age. I got a good deal. You have to know what you want and you have to shop around that's key
There's also a Canadian Price variant (75 cent) of ASM 252
Too bad no one mentions that just recently C.P.V.'s of this book have been selling between $3000-4000 and they did not look like 9.8's
@@kentA205 They only ever mention Mark J and newsstand lol

Another great report…keep em’ comin’ me Buckos!
Nice first cameo of wolverine hulk 180 😜
Still got mine I bought for $11.00 over 30 years ago.
Secret wars was the 1st black uniform🎉
SW8 was the origin, but not 1st black costume. ASM #252 and MARVEL TEAM-UP #141 are tied for 1st APP of black costume.
@@capncrunch2573 Spidey did put on the black suit in secret wars aka first app
Rom 😂. Got second Rogue for 2 bucks. Only Rom book I own
ASM 252, newsstand, Canadian price variant, CGC 7.5 here!
ASM 252 dropped like a rock this year. Feel bad for anyone that spec on that book
tempting to grade my 252 newstand idk
Those 252 Newsstands, I pressed 10% of the 9.8s in the census. Super excited for that
Point, counter point. Ron was on kindle but when I go to purchase it, only can get physical copies!!! This is insane!!!🤪
Lol the guys who own comic shops dont care about newsstand barcode 🤔🤔😆😆😆
I still have my 252 from childhood, love that book
Feck Tom Holland we want Garfield
Rom spec this week, and Micronauts spec recently too?!? What in the heck is going on in the comic universe!! Definitely couldn’t have predicted those books getting heat.
They were fairly low print runs. And a lot didn’t even sell, probably makes them a little more rare.
@@anthonyyoung6433 Rare in high grade, but not rare. The dollar bins are full of Rom and Micronauts books, and a lot of them are newsstand issues. But most wont grade above FN+. I have put together almost complete runs of both Rom and Micronauts out of my LCS' $1.99 bins over the past few years.

Good list
Nice Video Guys. Thanks

I just picked up 24 omega men run yesterday for a friend in the dollar bins. 2/3 keys. No lobo 1st app
Have a ASM 252 News 9.8 and it’s one of my fav books.
We still dont know who is in that black suit in the Spider-Man 2 game....
I was thinking “affordable” as in

Yay for ROM! :)
Some of these books with 500+ 9.8s just don’t seem like a true rare book.
I saw all this coming....
Secret warriors coming??? No quake but it doesn't mean it can't be another team
Hulk 180, it’s NOT A CAMEO!!! Wolverine never existed until the last page of this issue.
Im thinking sinister 6 takes over new york without kingpin. Or a world without spiderman maybe
Oh look am 420th 👍 🎉 screenshoted for proof 😂
your definetly wrong on newsstands should not command premium only if 98 no no no when theres only 10 to 5 percent as many

How does the census know someone cracked a first appearance of the Prowler 9.6, pressed it, and turned it into a 9.8?
A 9.6 came off and a 9.8 was added
@@kangtheconqueror9545 Yeah but how does the census know it wasn't a new book that was graded 9.8

if made aftyer 1988 they def shouold
