Quest 5: First Appearances — No Wildcard This Time

Four quests in, and the easy shelves are empty.

Quest 5 opens Friday, October 2 at 2 PM ET, running straight through New York Comic Con, and it is the hardest quest of the season. There is no wildcard. There are three first appearances to hold, and this week the Longbox is part of the set.

The Quest

Own all three of the books below, and list three qualifying Longbox items during the window. Hold the three books in your linked wallet at the quest snapshot, which lands in the final stretch of the window before Friday, October 9 at 2 PM ET.

Duplicates count once. All three must be in your wallet. The Longbox does not substitute for a book this week.

The Checklist

  • Adventure Comics (1935-1983) #210, first appearance of Krypto
  • The Demon (1972-1973) #1, first appearance of Etrigan
  • Weird War Tales (1971-1983) #93, first appearance of the Creature Commandos

The Longbox: First Appearances

This week, listing isn't a wildcard. It's a requirement.

List any 3 qualifying items on OpenSea during the window. Three different items, not three copies of one. Listings must be either sold or still live at the snapshot. Yes, sold counts.

Some of the most important books on Candy have never been listed. Thousands of collectors hold them. Almost nobody can buy them. This week, that changes.
