Thanks! I may take you up on that offer. Trying to see if it is possible to tell the difference in case I come across it. I appreciate all the help in this one folks. Hoping that Marvel Tales 2 has pages in the “wrong side” to easily tell when someone is passing it off as an original cover less Avengers 1.

Thank you for the detailed overview and pictures. Just looking at it, I can tell there was a color differentiation in the milestone editions. Also, I think the Marvel tales # 2 was a concern of mine as well. but I think I am good now. Thank you for answering my questions.

Understood. Thanks! I’m thinking if it’s too good to be true it probably is. I do most of my buying online these days as the LCS is going the way of the dodo bird, so I don’t get to handle these purchases as much as I would like to anymore.

Thanks. I thought the facsimile ones had the same ads from yesteryear. I’ll keep looking. CGC may be the route to go.

I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate post. I did my best searching for this question, before posting my own. I am looking into picking up an affordable copy of Avengers #1, which means the only thing I can come close to affording is a coverless copy. However, with all the facsimiles that are out there and dishonest sellers I pause when I see a deal on a coverless copy. Is there a way to tell the difference between the real McCoy and a facsimile that someone is selling as real? Thanks in advance.
