Follow up on 10 year old question for DiceX or PovertyRow or anyone else with printer knowledge from the 70's The reason for my original question was that I was very interested in collecting the Marvel 35 cent price variants and I was very curious as to how the printers changed the price boxes for the different versions. at the time I think there were 4 versions like the 30 cent copy, the 35 cent copy, the Diamond price copy and the UK price copy. My original thought after reading allot of stuff from DiceX and seeing the price error on that Marvel Presents #12 Variant was maybe they just clear taped the small price box change over the price on the original art and made all the different plates for each version. Over the last 10 years I have seen many Marvel Covers from the time frame of the price variants but have never seen one with any variation of the price other than just the 30 cent ones. So I am still very curious if maybe those price changes were just taped on and pulled off after each the different plates were made? DiceX & PovertyRow seemed to think the clear tape ideal was very unlikely so I did not think much more about it until today I found this picture of a Thor #261 cover. It appears to have some areas pasted on and a few others that look like clear tape was used, see the box with the Issue number, July & 02450 in it and also the little TM between Thor's legs that looks like clear tape to me but I guess it could have been done later, just wondering what you think. Is it posible that the 35 cent price was placed on the negative with a small piece of clear tape in the shape of the white lines and the edges of the tape came out on the plate, is this posible or am I way off base? Based on the positioning of the lines, I don't see that happening. Makes no sense if the whole price was cut in. I agree, POV. Back in the film days, we didn't use clear tape for much of anything. Matter o fact, our boss would have killed us if he saw clear tape on anything. This type of thing would be just the reason.

All double cover comic books are very rare some more so than others but I have seen quite a few copies of the Iron Man #55 in fact a little over 2 years ago there were four of them up on ebay for sale at the same time. Check out this thread link Double Covers Lots of cool info and pictures of this type of error and Cool buy. (thumbs u

It is at $256 now I think it will end at that price.

Not sure why but Inhumans #5 and Ka-Zar #16 only have 30 cent versions it is very strange.

anyone else got any new Double Covers to post? I just got in two more ebay wins today both are very low grade but the #53 is cool in that the inner cover is inverted and both are issues I have never seen with Double Covers before.

Wow great sale.

It has been a Very good week for Amazing Spider-Man Double Covers A Foil card stock Triple Cover that is not that thick because the first 4 wraps and the center 4 wraps are missing what a strange book. A Cool Double Cover that has one cover then the first 4 wraps then the other cover and the whole inside again. And this is the Newest Double Cover ASM I have now.

Nice One.

Added this to my ASM DC collection a little while back thanks to fellow board member NP_Gresham Thanks Bill (thumbs u

Had a good day today I got a Cool Avengers Double Cover in the mail today from Bordie Ihcomics Thanks Leroy (thumbs u Got a Rare Triple Cover also in the mail today off ebay And I found my first Triple Cover in the wild today at a local Flee Market my first double Triple day.

I don't post much but wanted to share pictures of what I purchased at the Flee Market today. 50 cent books The surprise More Cool stuff I paid a little more for. (thumbs u and a few keys.

I believe there were fewer test market cities for the 35 centers as well as a shorter duration. Also, they are much tougher to distinguish from the regular versions compared to the 30 centers which often had a gaudy starburst surrounding the price. Still there are some 30 centers that are as tough if not tougher than 35 centers to find. I think Both 30 & 35 were supposed to have been released in 6 test Markets and both ran for 5 months through all of Marvel's regular lines. I used to believe that the numbers of existing copies for both should be very close but there not, I think it was JC that said long ago "that the numbers are not even close on 30's & 35's" but I thought I knew better back then, boy I know now I was very wrong. And even the tough ones do not compare, there are probably at least 5 to 1 or more on the 30 cent Westerns and Fury's compared to the 35 cent ones "I guess the print runs dropped off a little on those by 1977 so maybe that has a little to do with it".

Just added this to the ASM DC collection thanks to fellow boardie.

and ask where are the other 3 books for the set. Lets keep it in context now.
