Description: The Uncanny X-Men #423 Marvel Comics 2003 MCU Disney Plus + Deadpool 3 movie Wolverine and Deadpool Newsstand Edition noted by no Direct Sales in UPC Barcode Box Low Print Run for Newsstand Editions Extremely rare Death of Bedlam, Jesse Aaronson Death of Skin Newsstand Edition, indicated by the barcode and cover price, $2.25 instead of the $0.25 low-cost reader incentive Cover appearance of Wolverine 1st appearance of Mutant 143 Newsstand Price Error Variant. The error mix-up resulted with "Only 25" price circle getting printed on the cover in addition to the $2.25 newsstand price in the UPC. Also the 25 is missing the black outline. There is estimated to be a very tiny percentage of the newsstand editions printed with this error, but no exact figure is known. Cover price $0.25. $2.25 Newsstand Edition. Cover by Phillip Tan Chuck Austen (w)/Ron Garney (p)/Mark Morales (i) "HOLY WAR" Parts 1 (of 2)?Just five days after the opening of X2, here's the perfect jumping on point for X-Men fans old and new! A 25-cent issue that kicks off a brand new story arc starring X2's Nightcrawler! The X-Men team leader faces his inner demons as he discovers a dark secret about his past! And will it lead to the death of some of those closest to the X-Men? Guest-starring Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Jubilee! 32 PGS. WITH ADS/FC/MARVEL PG...$0.25 Cover price $2.25. The direct edition of X-Men #423 was sold with a 25 cover price shown in both the UPC box and also in a large circle just underneath the title to the right. This was part of a Marvel marketing campaign between 2002 and 2004 where a number of direct editions were sold at very low prices to try and entice new readers to various popular series. Interestingly, the rarer newsstand variants of these comics retained the standard pricing of $2.25 and these lacked the reduced price circle on the cover. However, a good while back, Avengers #77 Newsstand Error Variants emerged, priced at the standard price but bearing the reduced price circle, and not too soon after this error variants of X-Men #423 also emerged. This seems to have been only a very small batch of comics as only a handful have been found to date and, like Avengers #77, may have only been available in a very small number of outlets. It is difficult to calculate the precise number of error variants but it is likely to be a very small number given the newsstand market was just over 10% of the total comic distribution at this time and also given that the error variant was only a tiny proportion of that (plus some error copies may have been returned/pulped, either due to the error or due to not being sold). At the time of writing, only 6 Newsstand Error Variant's have been graded by CGC, mostly in the NM grade range. The lone, top graded 9.8 NM/MT (Near Mint / Mint) copy sold for just under $1,000 in September 2013. Please use pictures to judge condition. I do not grade comics. Will be shipped securely and bubble wrapped. I combine shipping. Feel free to message me for more pictures. Be sure to check out my other listings. Thank you.
