Spider - Man 1 Silver Cover Blue Lizard Variant - Graded 9. 6 - VERY RARE
Item History & Price
Todd McFarlane's 1990 Spider-Man #1 release was the biggest in comic book history (Print run of over 2.5 million). Every collector had the Green/Silver/Gold covers in their collection. Of all the original Variants that collectors chased, none was scarcer than the Blue Lizard misprint in the Silver Cover.
During the printing process, the yellow ink ran out, leaving the Lizard cyan (blue) on several pages and panels.
Yellow + Blue = GreenGreen - Yellow = Blue
It is unknown how... many Blue Lizard books were shipped, but they are difficult and expensive to find in high grades. Much more scare than the Gold Cover UPC or Platinum editions, with print runs of 10, 000 each or less.
Why CBCS instead of CGC?
CBCS acknowledges and identifies this book as the rare Variant it is. The CBCS Blue Label describes it as ""Blue Lizard Variant" on the label. Also noted, "7th & 10th page color plates transposed".
CGC only grades Blue Lizard books with a Green (Qualified) Label (a Manufacturing Error). CGC graded Green Label books generally sell for 30-40% less than equivalent Blue Label books. CBCS Blue Label was the obvious choice for the Blue Lizard.
This is the only graded Blue Lizard on the market. No others on eBay/Amazon/FB Marketplace.
Brand new slab, clean, no scratches and will ship quickly after payment.
PayPal Goods & Services only.Shipping is $25 for Signed/Insured shipping within the ConUS.
