Angelo noteMore Mario movies are being produced. This issue is at the very top of the food chain for Mario comics! If this isn't enough, it's also the first appearance of Donkey Kong as well ! In my opinion, a book that is investment-worthy with more upside potential.In August of 2024 a 9.6 CGC sold for $1422.
Ben noteSomething that really strikes me about the Blip series is that it is the only instance I am aware of among CPVs where there exist both dual-price newsstand copies *and* single-price newsstand copies (the CPVs) (here's pictures of what I mean).
Jayden noteVideo Game related speculation is growing, and so is the sales volume of these keys - but the Canadians are STILL never showing up for sale. High grade value is currently hypothetical!
Sal noteAnother book with HUGE potential. Nintendo looks to have lots of runway with its upcoming Mario sequel / Zelda / Donkey Kong animated movies. If you find this book in the wild, grab it because there aren't many CPV copies to go around, in any condition.

Doug noteCPV is Scarce in Any Grade, RARE in High Grade
Ben noteFinal issue, and extremely hard to find as the CPV. As mentioned in my note for #1, this whole series has the fascinating circumstance of having regular newsstand copies in existence with BOTH $1.00 US AND $1.25 CAN prices on them, raising the question of what purpose the CPV then served (and how widely was it distributed)? For this final issue, interestingly, the $1.25 price is repeated twice on the CPV ($1.25, CAN $1.25). Anybody trying to research sales comps for the CPV of this issue will have an exceedingly difficult time; I saw none whatsoever. However, I did find a \"regular\" newsstand copy advertised in VF condition having sold for $49.95 in September 2021. Thus, I'd expect a NM- CPV newsstand copy to be able to find interest at a considerably higher ask.
Sal noteOnly a handful of comic series have a first AND last issue with CPV pricing (ex: TMNT Adventures #1 + #72) and most of you know by now how difficult ANY last issue of a series is to find, let alone a CPV copy. Blip #7 with its odd $1.25/$1.25 CAN cover pricing will easily slip through most people's radar as being a CPV. INCREDIBLY difficult book to find.
