Daredevil #196 features the 1st meeting of Daredevil & Wolverine + the 1st appearance of Lord Dark Wind!

Overstreet 2023 NM- 9.2 value = $35.

According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, July 25, 2023, out of a total of 886 Universal copies graded, 276 copies were graded in 9.8 with ONLY 1 copy graded higher in 9.9!

With these statistics in mind, this represents a RARITY FACTOR of 31.15% of the total population.

However, this is the much RARER Newsstand Edition Variant, which means that you can estimate that ONLY 2-4% of all 9.8s are Newsstand Edition copies!

___________________________________________________________

Published in July of 1983, Klaus Janson rendered a beautiful cover that documents Daredevil’s historic 1st meeting with the most popular mutant in the Marvel Universe—none other than the Wolverine!

Moreover, in 2022, I auctioned off two CGC 9.8 Newsstand Edition copies and one of those copies (with only OFF-WHITE TO WHITE Page quality) SOLD for a new world record sale of $528.00 on October 2, 2022!

With that said, once I laid my eyes on this pristine copy, which is PERFECTLY WRAPPED & CENTERED with PERFECT STAPLE PLACEMENT and super BRIGHT INK SATURATION—I knew I had to grab it! This copy outshines my two previous copies, so whoever places the final bid in this auction—will NOT be disappointed!

COOL FACT: I was the one who vetted the KEY comment—“1st meeting of Daredevil & Wolverine” to CGC President Matt Nelson and the team, which got approved on Friday, October 28, 2022, to be added to the CGC label!

Happy Collecting & Enjoy the Hunt!
