This Just In.... The Variant World is Going to Get a Lot More Interesting and Competitive

According to the Durango Herald newspaper, collecting marvel price variants is going to get a whole lot more interesting and competitive. Long-time comic book researcher and collector Jon McClure was commissioned by the 2010 Overstreet Price Guide to write a three page article on variants. Instead, in the price guide to be released in July, McClure wrote a 44 page article focused on variants from 1937 through the mid-1990's.

The article quotes one of the most important dealers Doug Sulipa, “The comic-collecting world does not yet know this article is coming,...Upon submission, this article was seen as so important by the Comic Guide editors that they cleared room, and most other articles, to make room. When the official announcement is made, I expect this will be the most important, must-have, most anticipated and bestselling guide in at least a decade, if not ever."

I expect the Bronze Age Price Variants to be front and center in the article.
