    I got an email notice about your initial posting, so I got to see the original post that you moved.

    I hate to say it but from what I saw of the poor photo, that is NOT a Warren Vampi #2 mag.  Rather, it is the Harris' Vampirella Classic which reprints issue #13 of the mag.

    You can tell even with the heavy grain of the photo as the Harris Classic has a white colored box in the upper left area of the cover.  It also has the word "Classic" in white under and to the right of "Vampirella".  The regular Vampi mags do not.

    Technically, I was the proud owner of the Eerie 25 cgc 9.4 on Clink.... for about 3 days.  I noticed my mood was better, I had more self confidence, Even felt stronger physically.  They say material possessions don’t make a man, but IDK, for those three days I felt like I’d reached New heights in my personal development...I guess that’s the power of horror magazines

    So what was the final hammer on the #25?

    Thanks!

    I found a notation on the seller's sale listing that the HC had a dust jacket that was "done professionally", so maybe it was not part of the original shipping.  I failed to save the seller information so I can't contact for further questions.  doh!

    According to David Horne, author of "A Gathering Horror", the regular Spanish HC had a printing of 1000 copies.  The misprinted copies are more scarce.

    The dust jacket is heavy stock paper and very nicely done.  The second scan is the regular Spanish HC and the last scan is the Spanish HC with the misprint on cover.

    I have a signed HC with a dust jacket.  When I got it, I thought the seller had it made for his own use but now I guess it could be that it was original.  I did not know about it being issued with a dust jacket.  I also have a regular Spanish HC copy and a misprinted Spanish HC copy.  Neither Spanish copies have a dust jacket.

    The misprint has the same cover as the US version.  It says "A Warren Publication" under the printed "Jose Gonzales" signature on the cover when it should not.  Only the US HC  will have it.

    I got the 3 as a set from a collector in Australia (?) a few years back off of ebay.

    The Grand Comic Database lists a third variant, with "Pure as Snow" replacing "The Power and the Gory" as well as "The Woodlik Inheritance" instead of the Hunter story, it does not have the 4 -A version Sulipa describes indexed.  I'll triple-check my copy when I get home.  Anybody else have an unslabbed copy handy?

    I have (if CGC is correct) a slabbed copy of Sulipas's described 4b (with 2 Corben stories) AKA GCD 4a.

    As OtherEric as pointed out, Sulipa's 4b matches exactly what GCG lists as their 4a (only 2 Corben stories).

    My unslabbed copy has 3 Corben stories BUT has "Pure As Snow" in place of "Power and the Gory" as per GCD 4b BUT is contrary to Sulipa's 4a.

    AND it has  "The Woodlik Inheritance" in place of "Hunter" as per Sulipa BUT it does match GCD 4b.

    So, I seem to have version 4b of the GCD.

    To be clear (?), my issue 4 has:

    The Believer!

    Pure As Snow

    The Thin Dime of Pain

    Child

    Tell-Tale Heart

    Exterminator One

    Woodlik Inheritance

    The Monster Called Vampirella

    This is what Doug Sulipa has posted on his sales website:

    #4-B (1976; Scarcer VARIANT Edition, approx 1 in 4 copies, with 2 x CORBEN Stories, includes; HUNTER-s text begins "Killing Machines" - Dubay-s, Neary-a, in place of 3rd Corben-s; Believer! = Budd Lewis & Richard Corben; Power and the Gory = W. Eaton & Rafael Auraleon; The Freaks: A Thin Dime of Pain = Doug Moench & Leopold Sanchez; Child = Greg Potter & Richard Corben; Edgar Allan Poe's Tell-Tale Heart = Archie Goodwin & Reed Crandall; Exterminator One = Bill DuBay & Paul Neary; Vampirella: The Monster Called Vampirella = Bill DuBay & Zesar Lopez.

    I have not seen what Overstreet has to say but have verified the above with my own copies.
