What do you know? I finally won a book 
 

Beauty! 

You stole that. It went dirt cheap. 

Let others contend recklessly for an All-Flash pin.  I just won this baby! 
 

"auction" is the safe word.

There is no "accepted narrative". Back in the seventies the version I am sharing was what was generally considered plausible. The version that the book had sold out and Goodman had to go back to press was first introduced in the foreward to one of the Marvel Archive editions of Marvel Mystery. The person that wrote that intro did not include any footnotes, any bibliographical corroboration of anything else to factually support it. It was hearsay.
So my opinion is still alive and well...and you are still ignorant.

I really wish you had a second print to sell me as long as you don't try to sell it as an original

The reason it has been called a mistake is the theory that Marvel 1 went to press and 80,000 copies in they realized that the cover date was too close to release, thus assuring a shorter shelf life at the newstand. They made the decision to change the print (adding the black stamp) and continued the run with the overprint. In my opinion if this is the case they can certainly be called second state variants, but in no way are they reprints.

If they do Cav supporters will have the time of their lives.

In five days, I guess the answer will be "no."

What isn't debatable is how ignorant you are. That isn't opinion. Fact.

We are all just annoyed at how ignorant you are. And bored with your shtick. But you are good for a laugh when you show up around here, so I guess there is that.

No butt hurt here either, and you only consider your point of view as fact. And you are obviously bummed that I have a Marvel 1 and you don't (why else would you keep bringing it up?).
Valid response - there are Oct copies, and Oct copies with Nov overprinting or stamps. Any opinion beyond that is conjecture.
So whatever your response, it is conjecture, and annoying.

Again you can't be certain of any of your assertions. For instance you claim that the October copies sold out, while the general thought is that they were a mistake and the Novembers are the corrected version. If the Octobers sold so well why aren't there more surviving copies? I am sure you will counter me with a ton of theoretical hyperbole, but the truth is none of us know.
And the books are stamped.

Durant has about the skinniest legs I've ever seen.  Kirby's women had thicker arms than he has legs!

I know where one can purchase the highest graded for only $30,000...

A once in a lifetime experience would be the Cavs winning on the road.
