The same sellers 'not really rare' Kid Colts are quite interesting aren't they. How do sellers like this get 100% positive feedback? There must be something afoot.

@Ron C. Ron, some good news. Heritage have 185 copies of Action #252 showing. Five of them have the same distinct grey body colouring as yours: They can't all be sun faded, can they!

You're going to get one or two hundred thousand mistakes if you grade 5m books I suppose. They're only human... -

You're welcome. I collected a lot of Spidey printing errors in my time. Some are easy to spot, some less so. I've always found the reds go first which is backed up by online articles regarding the affects of UV on different colour compositions it seems. Your Action actually looks like a printing issue to me, not a sun fade. But if the colouring difference is not replicated on the back cover it's difficult to support as you say. Here's an example which shows what the sun does to reds: It looks very different to the Action doesn't it Have you got back cover images to post?

Two wrongs don't make a right. Unless it's Mr and Mrs Wrong, driving down a T junction and not opting for left. Now, put em up! -

The census data is incorrect. It incorrectly advises the highest graded copies as 9.4 and 8.5. The owner of those copies would be fairly gutted to see the 9.6 and 9.8 copies I would imagine. Think once. Think twice. Think - don't muck up the label. Because it will muck up the census. -

That's the point PP - the two graded books in the picture are mislabelled / not identified as the JC Penney reprints that they are. And both are graded higher than the current 'highest' entries on the census. -
I believe both these books have been discussed before but I can't find the thread Ron. There's a similar blue vs grey look to the AC going on here: Here's a third copy, which has a rectangle of blue showing above the 'ive' of Detective: The back cover are always a good way to identify print errors as I'm sure you know - and it's always difficult to gauge from scans alone, especially when settings can be manipulated.

The cover date of this and the October 1959 Sports Car magazine are both T&P '9's and fit with the DC tabling. I can't find any earlier examples at the moment. Either way, @Albert Tatlock, your instinct was right again and T&P were indeed importing (and stamping) things other than comics with 1959 cover dates. So it follows that the stamp numbering for our comics may well have started mid-sequence as you suggested earlier with the magazines being the first publications to make use of the numbered stamping system. It would be cool if we could actually identify the date of the first ever US to UK shipment under this design wouldn't it maybe by looking at historic bills of lading or something like that. If they were ballast though, as has often been suggested, they may not even have been registered? More applause for you Albert - you've certainly shone a light on this aspect of our history mate

I haven't found a single Harvey with a Thorpe & Porter stamp which is as expected seeing as L Miller were the main distributor as we know from my previous posts: But my word do they have a lot of other non-distributor specific stamps out there: I think they deserve the prize for 'biggest variety of stamp types'
