The difference between a reprint and a facsimile is that the inside ads are the same from the original book in a facsimile as a pose to the reprints that have newer adverts.
Are you kidding those facts Emily's are absolutely terrific! I personally like them because they include the advertising as it originally appeared. For my part, Those ads were half the fun
I love collecting 9.8 reprints , they look great on wall. There is a reprint of FF1 back in 67 I think that in 9.8 goes for like 10k which is one of my grails.
I read all my comics, collect for the love, for the stories, for the art and the reprints and facsimiles are just as good to me, because I’m not in it for the money, I’m in it to read and complete, although I got lucky and found that I have a good bunch of original gold. Thanks for the video.
I do enjoy picking up reprints from time to time to read or display, but I am annoyed when I'm searching for an original comic on Ebay and a bunch of reprints flood my search.
I wish publishers would reprint some entire series monthly, like they used to with Essential Sandman or Tales of GI Joe. It’s a fun way to read a story you missed (if you’re not into tpbs)
I have a few reprints, Action 1, a bunch of Marvel Tales, etc. Great way to read older stories if you like the hands-on feel of flipping through pages of a book. Great way to appreciate or display the cover art too!
Reprints & Facsimiles are just something I, as a comic book enthusiast, appreciate. I would *NEVER* sell them because I buy past issues whenever I can to learn from the past.
Great topic. I can remember reading reprints 'back in the day,' which was a great way to expose new readers to origins, classic match-ups, and first appearances. I wish publishers would print more reprint anthology series...
Love reprints. I get to physically read alot of books I'll probably never be able to afford...or at least have a copy as a place holder until I have a original.
They should be in the previews that your local comic store gets, so you can ask them to let you know if one is coming out and they can even put one aside for you.
So I am 99.9% a manga reader but I have bought a couple TPB. I tried to read a couple modern floppies and the stories really were not my cup of tea. I would like to try an authentic comic book reading experience so facsimile would be good I think but I am wondering if they do complete facsimiles of old runs and how often.
They typically don’t do whole run, just major keys and stuff that’s not affordable to the average collector. Although, the walking dead did have a full reprint of the run called the “delux” edition that’s been colorized (the original run was black and white)
@@threesixtycomics Ok thanks for the info! That makes sense I guess cause people could go find the non keys for cheap. Dunno if I wanna go hunt down a full run of the greatest runs (I dont even know what the classics are) but maybe one day I will find something great if I ever browse a long box!
Just FYI, Marvel Tales didn't start off from day 1 reprinting Amazing Spider-Man in order. I think it started off as some other kind of anthology book and/or reprint book, and then at some point they started reprinting ASM stories from 5-7 years prior, and then in the early 1980's (not long before the issue you have in your video) they started printing them in order from the beginning for a while. And then I think at some point they started skipping around again, focusing on things like Punisher appearances et al.
Thanks for the info! One of the things I love about this community is that no one knows everything so we can always learn from each other. Much appreciated!
The sixties version of Marvel Tales started as Marvel Tales Annual #1, which reprinted the origins of several heroes, including Spider-Man in AF#15. Marvel Tales Annual #2 reprinted X-Men #1 and Avengers #1, along with Dr Strange's origin and part of Hulk #3. Marvel Tales' systematic reprints began in MT#3 starting with ASM#6. ASM #3 and 4 had previously been reprinted in Marvel Collectors Item Classics #1 & 2. MCIC was later retitled Marvel's Greatest Comics.
The Marvel Tales McFarlane Covers go for a pretty penny in high grade as well as the Classic X-men books. I have a very high grade Marvel Triple Action 2 which reprints FF 58, and IMO, has a waaaaay better cover. I'd be very sad if it got dinged up lol.
Facsimiles are great except for modern books the 1st Miles and Spider Gwen aren't clear enough. See so many people bidding a ton on those books. I have all the big Batman facsimile covers and Hulk 181 until I have the money to actually buy the real one.
It does nothing negative for collecting and the hobby. Literally, nothing and anyone who claims it does, i dislike off the rip. I dislike ANYONE who spec buys in general, THEY and YOU if you participate in that, are the #1 problem with comic book collecting. Spec buyers and sellers are THE #1 problem and do the MOST damage to ALL of comicdom.
That all depends on what you mean by speculation, because there are good kinds and bad kinds. The speculation that’s harmful to the hobby/industry is going out to a store the week a new book comes out and buying a bunch of copies and all the variants just because you heard it has a new minor character. The character will likely never take off and you’ll be left with multiple copies of a worthless book most of the time. The overall impact there is a negative one. The healthy type of speculation is doing so with back issues and looking for those books at a deal. For example, She-Hulk is in the MCU, and Fantastic Four are coming. At one point in the comics, she hulk was part of FF, so one might speculate on that happening in the MCU. Is it likely? No, but it could happen. So if that person looked around in dollar bins and stuff for copies FF265 to hold onto just in case that happened, that would be healthy (and fun) speculation. This may make a great topic for a video! Thanks for your comment and giving me a great idea.
I agree with that, other than a few certain books. A facsimile of Ultimate Fallout 4 was necessary. It’s such a major key but most comic fans don’t want to spend several hundred dollars on one.

I love reprints, I'm not trying to flip comics for sale, I just love to collect and read them and reprints gives us that opportunity to do just that!
Absolutely. No one benefits more than readers.

That’s a great way to be! If you’re into comics purely for the entertainment value, you’ll never lose out.
I do enjoy picking up reprints from time to time to read or display, but I am annoyed when I'm searching for an original comic on Ebay and a bunch of reprints flood my search.
That definitely is a negative. I often Sort by price to avoid that.
Just picked up some reprints the other day. If the price is out of reach on the original, nothing wrong with going reprint.
💯💯💯
I wish publishers would reprint some entire series monthly, like they used to with Essential Sandman or Tales of GI Joe. It’s a fun way to read a story you missed (if you’re not into tpbs)

For sure. I especially love when they keep the old advertisements in there.
That Detective comics 359 with the toys r us logo was from 1997
We getting varient covers for facsimiles now aswell for BTman 357, vengeance of bane and first poison ivy. I like That to be honest.
im getting the secret wars facsimile set as the come out, i will be also be working on getting the original set at some point

Agreed, a lot of new potential collectors don’t know where to start.
Never knew there were so many variations.
Excellent explanation, as a collector/reader I appreciate both facsimiles & additional printings.
Same! They are great for everyone!
The way I see it, facsimiles of big keys usually still outpace normal comic books, financially.
Great info. I just recorded a video dropping Sunday on treasury editions and the Famous First Editions published by DC in the 1970s.
Looking forward to it!
Love the reprints for reading, hanging and displaying.
Without a doubt! I need to display more stuff now that I’m in my new house.
I have the Lions gate asm 129 reprint. Love it, as I'll probably never have a high grade of the original
Just picked up two copies myself last week!
Love reprints. I get to physically read alot of books I'll probably never be able to afford...or at least have a copy as a place holder until I have a original.
I love my x-men#1(gatefold cover) facsimile copy. Wil look for some more(won't pay $18 for it, though.)
That’s one that I have to disagree with. You can buy the really one for $5 or less, so there is no need for a facsimile in my opinion.
😂
Great insight and thanks for careful analysis. Have a question please, how can I know and get future upcoming DC facsimile edition?
They should be in the previews that your local comic store gets, so you can ask them to let you know if one is coming out and they can even put one aside for you.
I might buy some now after watching this video
Awesome! I hope you enjoy!
awesome content brother!
I love grabbing those reprint so I can read those books that are way to up in price to get.
100%!

i have a few (Hulk #1, Fantastic Four #1 , mostly from the Marvel Legends figures) i just can't shell out hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Exactly! And even if you did have the money to buy them, you don’t want to risk damaging them by reading them.
A lot of people are getting burned on facsimiles of UF4 and Edge Of Spiderverse 2
Yeah I see it happening still. Very unfortunate.
See you on what not
Heck yeah!
New subscriber! Looking forward to new videos!
Welcome to the channel! Enjoy the show 💃🏻
The Marvel Tales McFarlane Covers go for a pretty penny in high grade as well as the Classic X-men books. I have a very high grade Marvel Triple Action 2 which reprints FF 58, and IMO, has a waaaaay better cover. I'd be very sad if it got dinged up lol.
A lot of those early reprints have better covers, except the ones reprinting FF 48/49, those covers are way worse haha
Good video and info 👍
Marvel tales 137 is the most underrated reprint out there.
For sure! Love the slight cover changes.
Some worth money one day some original impossible to get hold off in future
For sure.
Facsimiles are great except for modern books the 1st Miles and Spider Gwen aren't clear enough. See so many people bidding a ton on those books. I have all the big Batman facsimile covers and Hulk 181 until I have the money to actually buy the real one.
For sure, there needs to be obvious cover differences that keep people from making the mistake.
I love the facsimile issues.
What is a good price on an amazing fantasy reprint grade 9.8?
Depends which printing, you can get them from anywhere between $100-500.
No ECs?
I do love those EC reprints! I think I have all of them myself.
If it's bad for the community then it's a shitty community. If reprints are good enough for literature then it's good for comics.
I couldn’t agree more!
I want it!!!!
Not crazy about reprints. Have had hundreds of them in collections I've bought over the years and never keep any of them.
Totally fair opinion! I keep very few.
I like this
OF COURSE they're good. This hobby is based on sequential art, not a number on a plastic slab.....

Facsimile reprints of modern books are no good. Especially the ones printed over the past 10 years.
I agree with that, other than a few certain books. A facsimile of Ultimate Fallout 4 was necessary. It’s such a major key but most comic fans don’t want to spend several hundred dollars on one.
