SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
A 9.9 NINE.NINE WP Copy. A Direct Edition.
Currently worth 240 CGC points, the highest points for this issue.
CENSUS: as of June 2016.
Amazing. 10 copies at 9.9! There was only ONE when I saw the first one for sale and when I checked the Census there were 10. Wowow. Somebody had a great day at CGC... That's 15% of ALL the Daredevil comics graded at the level 9.9 from the entirety of issues #1-310.
329 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.
220 more copies in 9.6 out of 818 graded copies. That's alot.
20 SS copies. 9 graded at 9.8. Popular due to the nasty Daredevil/Punisher cover. All the autographs until recently are by Stan Lee and Klaus Janson. Maybe a Frank Miller will drop in shortly.
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 184 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, but not impossible.
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 at least $500.00 for a 9.9 copy. Or maybe $1,000.00. Or maybe 1500.00. Depends how hungry you are. I got mine for just under $500.00 a few years ago.
Expect to pay $100-150 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 have been seen.
Signed copies do look good with that yellow label...
I have seen no sketches on any SS copy, but expect one sooner or later.
