By Benjamin Nobel, January 2025<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

At the time Amazing Spider-Man #252 was published, Marvel had been averaging ASM print runs of 470,527 copies per issue over the preceding 12 months<\/a>. As an “event” issue, #252 was widely ordered, collected, and preserved, as evidenced by the massive CGC census counts sitting here in January of 2025: there are over twenty-five thousand census copies<\/b>, including over 2,200 in 9.8, and eight 9.9\u2019s:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\u201cRegular\u201d census entry, for ASM #252, as of this writing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/i><\/small><\/small><\/p>\n

How should a collector who wants a 1st print copy and cares about rarity<\/i> approach such a common-but-critically-important key issue? Had you asked any comic collector a decade ago, the near-universal answer you would have heard was \u201cgo for the highest grade<\/i>.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

But collectors have gotten smarter; today, the answer you might get would be \u201cgo for a newsstand variant.\u201d<\/i> And as we know, there are not one but two newsstand choices for the issue, because #252 falls into the 1980\u2019s CPV publication window<\/a>: (1) 60\u00a2 cover price copies (sold on US newsstands), and (2) the dramatically-more-rare 75\u00a2 cover price variants (sold on Canadian newsstands).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the same reasoning as buying a 9.8 instead of a 9.0: how do you make a really common comic scarce? You look for the highest possible grade. How do you make a really common comic even <\/span><\/i>scarcer<\/span>? Look for a variant.<\/span> So there\u2019s the US newsstand and there\u2019s the Canadian newsstand \u2026 any type of variant makes a common item scarcer and this is what people like.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

\u2014 Doug Sulipa, 2024, 54:56, Canadian Price Variants: A Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Go for variants and<\/i> go for grade \u2014 in combination, these are two excellent ways to improve scarcity (e.g. just 63 of the 2,290 total census copies of #252 in 9.8 are 75\u00a2 variants \u2014 that\u2019s 2.75%<\/i><\/b><\/span>); but today, I\u2019d like to discuss one additional<\/i> collecting angle, which can add absolutely astonishing<\/i> levels of rarity to a cover price variant, and is activated by the collector themselves: the addition of CGC Signature Series.<\/p>\n

\"Comic<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

The CGC census gives collectors great<\/i> data to study, like the 60\u00a2 ASM #252 census table shown earlier: For each grade tier on the scale to 10, CGC helpfully publishes the number of copies they have graded from their inception to date, for the following four categories: (a) Universal [blue label]<\/span>, (b) Qualified [green label]<\/span>, (c) Signature Series [yellow label]<\/span>, and (d) Restored [purple label]<\/span>. Most collectors are seeking comics from categories (a)<\/span> and (c)<\/span>; meanwhile (b)<\/span> and (d)<\/span> are typically dreaded<\/i> by submitters.<\/p>\n

Newsstand Edition census data broadly speaking<\/i> is not yet revealed as of this writing (because CGC uses the pedigree<\/i> data field for that notation, and that field is not represented yet in the online census data). However, 75 cent variant newsstand data<\/b><\/i> has meanwhile been accumulating onto the census for about a quarter century now<\/i><\/b> (Greg Holland\u2019s website has the ASM #252 CPV census numbers backwards to 2001<\/a>), because the higher cover price causes CGC to maintain a distinct variant entry for the issue<\/b> in their database. Which means each of the four labeling categories is broken down for our newsstand cover price variants \u2014 revealing that in the 9.8 grade tier, there presently exist just seven Signature Series<\/span> 9.8\u2019s among 75\u00a2 variants for issue #252:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\u201cCanadian Price Variant\u201d census entry, for ASM #252, as of this writing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/i><\/small><\/small><\/p>\n

Let that sink in: Compared to the 8<\/span><\/b> census copies with 60\u00a2 cover price in 9.9<\/b> (arguably<\/a> a pursuit not worthy of your time or money), there are 7<\/span><\/b> CGC Signature Series copies of the 75\u00a2 variant in CGC 9.8, for ASM #252.\n<\/p>\n

Before you start arguing with me, let me admit: Clearly there\u2019s a difference in kind<\/i> for this comparison, because CGC Signature Series 75\u00a2 copies didn\u2019t happen in May of 1984, with 7 survivors today in 9.8\u2026 No, all seven of these census copies were “created” by a collector taking their unsigned 75\u00a2 variant NM\/MT condition survivor and having it signed under the Signature Series. <\/p>\n

A couple of important points about this: (1) Since CGC Signature Series copies are created<\/i> after publication, therefore you or I can “aspire to make more of them,” and (2) their value<\/i> is derivative<\/i>: as collectors, how much we\u2019re willing to spend on an already<\/i>-created CGC SS copy is going to relate very closely to the cost of acquiring an unsigned copy plus the cost of participating in future signing opportunities (in other words, the cost in dollars, time, and risk, to re-create<\/i> a comparable CGC SS copy).<\/p>\n

However, this point \u2014 about “re-creation cost” driving CGC SS value \u2014 eventually collapses<\/i>, under the weight of one of the unstoppable forces of nature: death<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Sorry to bring it up, because death is something most of us don\u2019t like to think about\u2026 We tend to push those thoughts into the mind\u2019s corner; until someone close to us suddenly dies unexpectedly<\/a> and we\u2019re then forced to think about it intensely<\/i>. And, like it or not, death<\/i> and CGC SS values floating above replacement cost<\/i>, are two concepts that are inextricably tied together.<\/p>\n

When I wrote my “comic book collecting manifesto<\/a>” a decade ago, one of my top ten collecting “themes” was Stan Lee CGC Signature Series \u2014 here\u2019s what I wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cStan The Man! Stan Lee is like no other figure in comics \u2014 the man is an icon. Everyone has a favorite Marvel comic book, usually an X-Men or a Spider-Man or an Incredible Hulk. And as of this writing it is still possible to participate in a Stan Lee signing at a convention, where he will autograph your favorite comic book for you.
\n<\/i><\/p>\n

The number of comics that have been autographed by this legend is still, currently, increasing. But some day, there will be a finite number of comics that have been signed by Stan Lee and that will be it\u2026 At that point, there are bound to be many attempted forgeries; but any comics that have been signed under the CGC Signature Series will be trusted, with his autograph witnessed and certified to be authentic by CGC.\n<\/p>\n

This unique class of certification and the limited number of comics signed by Stan Lee under the Signature Series will effectively make Stan Lee CGC Signature Series comic books in a class of their own \u2014 a sort of \u201cvariant\u201d if you will. Another way to think about this, is that for any conceivable comic book issue a collector might possibly want signed by Stan Lee, there will at some future date be some fixed limited number of Stan Lee CGC Signature Series copies of that issue. For some comics this might amount to only a handful of copies. For more obscure comics, it might be possible to have in your collection the one and only copy of the issue ever signed by Stan Lee under the Signature Series.\n<\/p>\n

As far as the idea of \u201crarity\u201d is concerned, this dynamic is very interesting for a collector to consider.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Me, 2015, Rare Comics To Collect<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Stan Lee died<\/a> on November 12, 2018. The January 2019 CGC census showed<\/a> a total of three<\/b> ASM #252 CGC Signature Series 75\u00a2 variant copies in 9.8 back then. [More about Stan Lee CGC SS<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

\nNewsstand comic:<\/i><\/small> Amazing Spider-Man #252, Marvel, 5\/1984

\nCGC SS variant census<\/a>, January 2019:<\/i><\/small> 24 total, 3 in 9.8\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

So with ASM #252 we\u2019ve started with one of the most common-yet-critical key issues of the 1980\u2019s, and by applying just a few different themes \u2014 high grade, 75\u00a2 newsstand variant, and Stan Lee Signature Series \u2014 we are down to a literal handful<\/i> of collectibles that fall into the intersection of those themes. [The census doesn\u2019t tell us who signed each copy, but happily, I\u2019m able to picture 2 out of the 3 in 9.8 at the time of Stan Lee\u2019s death and obviously he hasn\u2019t signed any of the copies created since; but keep in mind it is always possible someone \u201cupgraded\u201d a lower grade at a later date, or that mis-labeled copies also exist.]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

\"Comic<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Another mega-key of the 1980\u2019s, Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #8 (featuring the origin of the alien symbiote), has a copy in existence that has all of those same themes plus one more, a “double cover” manufacturing error, which very likely results in a copy that is one-of-a-kind<\/i>\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 and with an asking price to match:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Now obviously that is just an asking price<\/i> and isn\u2019t a sale. But we can all understand how the owner arrived at such an astronomical ask, right?<\/p>\n

With fine art, a bidder on an important painting can think to themselves, “there\u2019s only one of these in the whole world”<\/i>\u2026 and that thought can persuade them to bid huge dollar amounts. Indeed, if your home burned down in a wildfire, with such a fine art painting inside, it isn\u2019t as if you can just go out and buy it again. With comic books, we almost<\/a> never have that one-of-a-kind situation. Yet, with this Secret Wars example above, we\u2019ve got a comic book collectible that is irreplaceable<\/i> (absent a time machine, there\u2019s no possible way to re-create another like it to match those same four attributes [(1) cover price variant, (2) 9.8, (3) Stan Lee Signature Series, (4) Double Cover]) and thus it arguably fits that very same description you\u2019d use with fine art: “there\u2019s only one of these in the whole world.”<\/i><\/p>\n

\"Comic<\/p>\n

Lest the above example re-enforce the impression many collectors have, that CGC Signature Series is too expensive, \u201cpricing them out\u201d of this collecting category, allow me to next present an example on the other end of the price spectrum<\/em>. The CGC SS cover price variant below sold at auction for a mere $63<\/strong>; the now-irreplaceable signature is from the late<\/a> Len Wein.<\/p>\n

\nCGC SS variant census<\/a>, January 2025:<\/i><\/small> 5 total, 1 in 9.8\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

How many of those 5 Signature Series copies were signed by Len Wein? At most four<\/a> (based on the census shortly after his death); and the census shows just one copy in 9.8<\/em> today. Indeed, the intersection of CGC Signature Series, newsstand, and cover price variants, allows collectors to achieve collectibles approaching fine-art-level rarity\u2026 <\/p>\n

And speaking <\/em>of fine art, how about adding actual original artwork<\/strong><\/em> to your CGC Signature Series book? The artist signing <\/em>your book might also be willing to draw <\/em>something.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Historically collectors achieved sketches like this by going to conventions and waiting in lines (or enlisting facilitators to do so on your behalf)\u2026 although this pursuit can be hit and miss, and not all artists offer sketches at conventions for various reasons [the highly-talented Stuart Immonen created a series of 50 reasons to stop sketching at conventions<\/a> that give an entertaining inside look at what it is like to offer sketches at conventions, from the artist\u2019s perspective].<\/p>\n

But lately, CGC has been offering a number of in-house signing opportunities where sketches are sometimes available, including from superstar creator John Romita Jr.<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Note that for each of the shared examples I\u2019ll be featuring today, because they reside in private collections, I\u2019ve blurred out the serial numbers.

\"Comic<\/p>\n

The above examples certainly reveal shockingly low CGC census counts, but these are just examples out of the universe of comics where CGC SS copies actually exist<\/em>\u2026 I\u2019m sure the thought crossed your mind, as you were scrolling, \u201cGosh, I wonder what important issues still have ZERO <\/strong>Signature Series price variant copies on record?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Here below are a sampling of such examples \u2014 i.e. where you<\/strong> can be the first to create one (census data as of this writing, in January 2025):<\/p>\n

\u29bf Iron Man #282 APV<\/a> \u2014 1st full appearance of War Machine<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u29bf X-Men #282 APV<\/a> \u2014 1st appearance of Bishop<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u29bf Batman #386 CPV<\/a> \u2014 1st appearance of Black Mask<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u29bf Thundercats #1 CPV<\/a> \u2014 1st appearance of Thundercats in comics<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u29bf Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #23 CPV<\/a> \u2014 1st appearance of Slash in comics<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u29bf Voltron #1 CPV<\/a> \u2014 1st appearance of Voltron in comics<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u29bf Sonic #0 CPV<\/a> \u2014 First mini-series issue<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u29bf Swamp Thing #20 CPV<\/a> \u2014 Alan Moore\u2019s historic Swamp Thing run begins<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

These are just a sampling<\/em>; there are sooooo many more (Archie\u2019s Girls Betty and Veronica #320<\/a> for instance, I left out of the above list because even if you wanted a CGC SS copy, the issue\u2019s writer Frank Doyle is no longer with us, and neither is the issue\u2019s artist Dan DeCarlo). Scrolling the CPV Top 100 list<\/a> can give you additional low-census ideas to explore.<\/p>\n

\"Comic<\/p>\n

The final thought I want to leave you with is to keep your mind open to the possibility of making cheap CGC SS acquisitions to bolster your collection. It was abundantly clear from the responses to my \u201ccrowdsourcing\u201d effort for this article, that there is a perception out there that Signature Series is too expensive a collectible category to even enter<\/em>. But I assure you, the opportunity to win these at auction cheaply is absolutely out there if you are willing to be patient and pick your spots (remember that Legends #3 $63 example sale I mentioned earlier, for a CGC SS 9.4 \u2014 that\u2019s a mere $7 above the current 9.2 guide value<\/a> for the CPV raw!<\/em>). Collectors I\u2019ve talked to who create CGC SS copies will very often try to submit two+ copies with the idea to \u201ckeep one, sell one\u201d\u2026 a feat that is not always possible when it comes to our price variants, but I\u2019ve heard enough examples (and done so myself) to know that people try<\/em>. Which means the extras will sometimes appear for auction \u2014 e.g. in Comiclink\u2019s auction this month there are two CGC SS CPVs, and two CGC SS UKPVs, at $1 opening bid and no-reserve (I do not know the sellers), including X-Men #101 (1st appearance of Phoenix), New Mutants #1 (2nd appearance of the New Mutants), and X-Men #201 (1st appearance of Nathan Summers [Cable]). <\/p>\n
