Doom 2099 #18 / Ghost Rider 2099 #2 / XMen 2099 #9 polybagged with Sega Sub-Terrania Game Tips Poster

Howdy!

I have all three of the issues listed in subject still in their polybag with Sega Sub-Terrania Game Tips Poster.  I do not find anything in Comicbase that mentions this version of the comics.  For the moment I'm running with a note added to each issue, but that really doesn't feel like is adequate.

Has anyone else run across this problem?

 

Thanks,

Pat

Was this a case where all copies of those issues were polybagged?  Or only some of them?  If only some of them, is there a way to distinguish the "never bagged" issues from the ones that were originally sold in the polybag?

Not all copies were bagged.

All copies that were bagged were Direct Editions, but I don't know if all Direct Editions were bagged.

I can not see any way to distinguish the bagged from the never bagged.

Look at Spider-Man #1 for examples of Bagged and Un-Bagged issues.

If an issues is taken out of the bag, other than having the associated poster, it is just an un-bagged issue (as long as there is no other distinguishing characteristics.

PS Whether or not HC prefers the /CS variation or just the newer /A, /B, etc. variations is unknown.
