You were saying?

That looks very much like what the site below refers to as a hickey. https://offsetprintingtechnology.com/sub-categories/on-press-troubleshooting/

Frickin' Charlton and their low production standards.

They jumped that shark long before this.

Correcting misinformation isn't an overreaction. Perhaps, but there are less jerkish ways of doing it.

No, time will not tell. A pump and dump is a deliberate attempt to profit off of something after inflating the value by increasing demand through hype and nonsense. A Youtube video talking about the creative merits of a book is not that, the book's value isn't even discussed there. To say that prices will likely decrease in the future because the current spike in demand is temporary is fine, but to label this a pump and dump is inaccurate and pathetic. Overreact much? Lighten up Frances. Seriously, how do people get so worked up about this stuff?

ZOMG!!!!!!! TELL FACEBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TELL TWITTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I could get that, I'd be pimping my man thing around to any and all takers

I agree with you on the UK link and I also agree that we'll probably never know the reason why these exist. I think it's pretty safe to say that these were not price test market copies like the 30 and 35 cent Marvels.

I wish we knew the back story of why these 15 versions exist. Speculation is fun but having something from the horses mouth would be great. Speculation and educated guesses are probably what we will have to fall back on. You'd think Harvey kept records but even if they did, do they still exist?

Someone is going to be unhappy when they realize this is not Super Mario 1 Special Edition https://www.ebay.com/itm/384734779617?hash=item5993fad8e1%3Ag%3AcKsAAOSwjt1iCoHv&nma=true&si=QcNEBEpTTjSNV5jdm3tNtsil2pg%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

He wasn't the only one

Yes. Slavery is illegal and wrong. You shouldn't even be thinking about trying to buy another person. It's also highly likely that you shouldn't buy any kind of press and try to work on your own books. I bought a drill press. Was that wrong?

New arrival

Considering that we're talking about low value comics that are not on many collector's radar and were probably consumed by younger kids at the time, it doesn't surprise me one bit that dealers don't have them. I'm sure many of them don't want to take up inventory space for comics that very few will want. That's why I think the best place to find these is at flea markets, antique fairs or shops, or junk type stores. Maybe at a tag (car boot or jumble) sale?

Welcome back Jimmers

Sucked into greggy's box. Hope you're not too sore.

Are you aware that Four Color 878 also comes in a 15 cent variant? In case you want to add it to your want list

Of course. It seems so self evident now. Thanks

Hi, long time listener, first time (yeah, right) jackass. I like thin crust pizza but I can't always get it. How much time and pressure should I use with a t-shirt press in order to flatten out deep dish? Also, is pepperoni detrimental to the process? Thanks. I'll hang up and listen to the answer

The boards could desperately use one of those.

Well then, I hope you find a bunch more.

All I can say is that if there are any UK based boardies that find a bunch of these and want to sell, they have a customer in me. The good thing is that Harveys, variants or not, are cheap Postage these days is not and trying to acquire them one or two at a time isn't viable.

Those are mine. I got all four and several others from an ebay UK seller a couple years ago. Other than what Mark says, I have not heard any theories as to why these exist. When I have seen them for sale it's only been from UK based ebay sellers. It's a small sample for sure and doesn't prove anything but I think they might have only been distributed in the UK. Why they were 15 cents and why they cut down the page count on the giant size issues is a mystery to me. They are odd though aren't they? Until I saw that Wendy 75, I thought there were only 15 cent versions of the 25 cent giant issues.
