Hello! Long time Archie collector, and registered today just to post my find. I have very few 15 cent variants, maybe five. But I found three more today at a flea market for five bucks each, including one that doesn't appear to be asterisked on the master list: Archie #133 (unfortunately with a coupon clipped out of the back cover). The others were Archie 126 and Archie's Mad House 21.

 

 

 

 

Archie Giant Series Magazine #579( 95 cent cover variant). Dan Parent's 1st art work at Archie.

Two more recent acquisitions:

Congrats! on finding two more rare Archie 15 cent price variants that have been now confirmed on the list. All of them should eventually surface I believe.

Has a Josie 1 turned up?

Not according to the list bill999 posted earlier. Still a few February '63 issues unconfirmed.

3rd appearance of Josie. Pep #161(March 1963) a 15 cent price variant that recently surfaced. It has a cool classic DRIVE-IN MOVIE cover.

Here is an update for 2/10/2015. Pep #161 was just added and now all the Pep 15c price variant issues have surfaced out there. Any others known on this list that have surfaced?

Hello! Long time Archie collector, and registered today just to post my find. I have very few 15 cent variants, maybe five. But I found three more today at a flea market for five bucks each, including one that doesn't appear to be asterisked on the master list: Archie #133 (unfortunately with a coupon clipped out of the back cover). The others were Archie 126 and Archie's Mad House 21.

Congrats! on that Archie #133 15 cent price variant find(1st appearance of Cricket O Dell). Now four of the five key Archie 15 cent price variants have surfaced which is great to know. Josie #1(1963) needs to surface as an Archie 15 cent price variant key book, which it should hopefully soon.

Very scarce "Now 25c" cover.

Here is the uncommon to scarce #1 issue from 1988 of the $1.25 newsstand 36 page price variant cover edition of Archie's TMNT #1 Mini series from 1988 that many are not aware of exists out there with a UPC bar code box (price variant Canada direct comic shop copies with a $1.25 cover price with NO bar code box on the cover exist as well). The $1.25 Archie Adventure Series cover price Archie comics were intentionally priced 5 cent higher than the regular Archie series Canadian priced comics at the time hoping no one would notice the higher cover price on them thus NO (US or Canada) price is seen or present on the indicia---- a higher test marketing price with Archie Adventure Series comics that was done back then with other Archie Adventure Series comics too.

Archie's Pals N Gals #30 35 cent cover price.

 

Archie's Mad House #24 15 cent price variant

 

 

 

Second Sabrina? Now you have Sabrina 1st and 2nd as price variant? (thumbs u

I did at one point in time own that CGC graded copy of A.M.H #24 price variant before the book was sold in an on line auction about 3 years ago, so I do not own it presently.

Found this one in Chicago last weekend

 

Archie's Mad House #24 15 cent price variant

Archie's Mad House #22 first appearance of Sabrina the Teen-age Witch(price variant).

Archie's pals 'N' Gals #23 first appearance of Josie( price variant).

A great! thread "Silver" started here.

Archie Giant Series Magazine #551 with risqué cover dialogue.

Archie's Pal Jughead #84 15c price variant 1st appearance of Big Ethel key book.

Just found archies joke book #63 15 cent variant! And joke book 62

I noticed this picture of Adventures of the Jaguar #6 15 cent price variant on line today, which means all the 15 cent price variants for that series which are issues #5-11 have now all surfaced and are known to exist. I was also sent a picture of Life with Archie #19 15 cent price variant a few weeks ago, so all the Life with Archie 15 cent price variants for that series have all surfaced as well which are issues #13-19.

76 out of 112 of the Archie 15c test market price variants have surfaced and are confirmed to exist that I am aware of.

A Pep Comics #155 rare price variant with a nice sci-fi horror cover.

 

 

 

And the more common version:

 

Collectors appear to be catching on that with seemingly no file copies existing for Archie's that early silver age Archie's are uncommon and tough in FN/VF 7.0 or better grade, especially the giant size issues 1950-1965.

A Pep Comics #155 rare price variant with a nice sci-fi horror cover.

Wow! almost 10X guide in a raw FN grade on e-bay. : (thumbs u

A couple more price variants. A nice cover with Betty and Veronica in Devil costumes.

First Sabrina cover.

 

Very nice book (thumbs u

A 35c price variant.

The 1st appearance of Raymond.

New 15c price variant

 

A CGC 9.0 graded Archie 15c price variant congrats!. The highest graded Archie 15 cent price variant to date so far if I am correct?:.

I just recently acquired a 9.6 cgc asm 252 with a .75 cent price but it doesn't say canadian version on the label. It was slabbed in 2010, were they not denoting this at that time?

The highest graded Archie's Pals 'N' Gals #3 CGC 7.5 and #6 CGC 9.0 seen on the CGC census today are both (35 cent Canadian price variants) with no mention of Canadian edition seen on the labels and I have seen both books.

Archie was the comic I collected and read most growing up. There was only 1 drug store in my small town and they sold Archie, Mad, Sugar and Spice and a few other titles. I never owned a Archie Digest #1 so being such a big life long fan I thought it was time for me to add one to my PC. Here it is

 

 

Try finding the first Archie comic digests Canadian price variant issues published with 95 cent cover prices on them dated 11/79 and 12/79 being Archie Andrews where are you? #12, Laugh Comics digest #25, Archie Comics digest #39, Jughead Jones comics magazine digest #11 and Jughead with Archie digest #35. 9.0 copies or higher are rare not scarce to find with those first digest issue price variants it seems. The Archie digest Canadian price variants came out about 3 years prior to the Archie 75c Canadian price variant comic books which began with 9/82 dated issues.
