Owner's Description
A 9.9 NINE.NINE WP Copy. A Direct Edition Issue. Only 2 in the 9.9 grade.
Currently worth 240 CGC points, the highest points for this issue.
Please note I have added a 9.8WPSS Copy in the reverse image slot. This comic is signed by Frank Miller, Stan Lee and Klaus Janson, the only triple signed that I know of, plus, it is a Newstand Variant. Pretty rare find.
CENSUS: 2 in 9.9, 515 in 9.8, 405 in 9.6 out of 1455 graded copies.
143 SS Copies, 46 graded in 9.8, the highest SS grade as of September 2024.
prior notes...
CENSUS: as of June 2016.
2 in 9.9. Both are White Page issues.
291 copies in 9.8. Many new copies per year since 2013. ALL the issues from 170 to 191 are generally available on EBay or the auction houses every month.
240 more copies in 9.6 out of 745 graded copies. That's still alot.
8 SS copies. 4 graded at 9.8. I have added my 9.8WPSS copy in the reverse photo slot. It is SS x3 by Stan Lee, Frank Miller and Klaus Janson.
Autographs are primarily by Stan Lee and Klaus Janson, with my solo Miller copy I think.
This cover had no advertising. Yeah! And the "The Man Without Fear" sub-title and the larger Daredevil font seemingly are here to stay.
There were separate Direct Issues and Newstand variants for issue number 182 and this pattern follows through the entire Daredevil Miller era run. I have been told the numbers of direct edition vs. newstand versions ranged proportionally 60-40 to 70-30 for each type, depending on the issue.
The newstand variants are much rarer in high grade, as they lived their life on a heavily fondled newstand, not in a direct edition mailer. This ratio also varies, with approximately one out of five (some issues one out of 20!) issues being graded 9.8 as the rarer Newstand Variant. Newstand Variants are hard to get. I don't think I have seen one.
Newstand variants have the price in a square box next to the issue number at the top of the letter box, the direct editions have the price and issue number in a diamond shape within the letter box.
Returns to a normal size comic with a new price of 60 cents. Probably some UK variants too.
VALUE:
Expect to pay $1500-2000 for a 9.9 copy. You will have competition to get it.
Expect to pay $100 for a basic 9.8WP Copy, easily more if excellent structure and more again if signed. And add a premium for the “Newstand Variant”, generally sold for around $200 now. The Newstands are rare with this issue.
Signed copies do look good with that yellow label...
I have seen no sketches on any SS copy, but expect one sooner or later.
