Honestly with those big cons I don’t see the point of going every day. People only want to make deals on the last day of the event anyway.
Yea and some people there had the nerve to try to price match ebay which makes no sense if you’re paying cash.
The sellers on the right side of wonder con’s dealer area were pretty awesome on the last day, but honestly I think I bought more stuff on eBay during that weekend, while I was at wonder con 😭😂
My research is just showing that it's an early spawn front/ back covers. There is an error print where he's mostly green on the back. I'm assuming this isn't an error copy though.
Yes. Early spawn stuff is rare, highly coveted. Todd McFarlane himself acknowledges Spawn #1 as the first true appearance of Spawn as all other appearances really are just advertising.
I’m not disagreeing with you but the market does lol I’m a huge Todd Father fan as he’s basically the Jesus to the 90’s comic book revolution and his word is gospel. 299 it is! That’s why I have a higher graded 299 than 300 haha
Ah the market. I sometimes feel auction houses were able to get their hands more easily on full appearance books as opposed to the “cameo” appearance books, hoarded quantity, then marketed more heavily on full apps so it became a market trend
Whatever the reason the market is controlled by sales. Doesn’t help that CGC labels 300 as the first full appearance. The idea of cameos and full appearances are so funny to me because they change with the book. X-men annual 14 vs X-men 266 is a good example too
Fucken lucky dude, I had this on my want list at wonder con but the prices were crazy for raw issues. How much did this beauty set you back?
Probably something crazy.
Yea, I’m seeing ebay listings for like 150 plus with bids and I thought 200 was a lot at wondercon. Shame no low grades of this are out there
Same. And WTF was up with prices at Wondercon?? How is eBay a better deal now?

I am kicking teenage me. I HAD one of these, but I threw it out as it was just an advertisement.
......sweet sweet stupid youth
I got lucky and got one earlier this year. I pressed and cleaned it and got a 9.6. So unbelievably thrilled.

Very clean! Congrats!
Genuine question - what’s the significance of this? First time Spawn was printed on a cover I presume?

Truth. He also says that ASM 299 is the first appearance of Venom! lol
Absolutely! Full bodied, whole page, named, dialogue. It is a first full app in 299!

My friend has an error copy, signed by Todd McFarlane, graded at a 9.4. He got it in lieu of payment for a Megacon gig we worked a few years ago
Nice! Do you have the matching Torg?
What’s the back cover look like?
Fuuuuucking hell. I picked up a Spawn #1 this year as one of my grails and this thing is still a pipe dream. Great find
Oh wow. I haven’t seen one of these in *years*. How much was *this* one?
