It IS pretty tough to tell. The pence copy looks less obscured by the outline color than the cents copy.

A quick look revealed no notable changes.

Thanks! I DID throw a few pence copies in there too, for equal time and fair play! I haven't look at TOS to see if there were any notable differences. Maybe when time allows. It's interesting to see differences over the course of a titles run. I'm at a loss to explain it, but cool to see variations.

Oh ok, cool, so you know. I wasn't positive but wanted to point it out so you were aware of that possibility, especially in case you were to up grade and sell it.

My quick answer is no and no, hadn't specifically noticed, don't know why. However, upon further examination, I have found that it's even a bit more complicated than just that. Issues #1 - #11 shared the same basic logo, while issue #12 became the thicker, jagged logo with the notched O. Then issue #18 comes along and returns to a similar font and style of the #1 - #11 period, except that the letters are thicker and the exclamation point doesn't return. Then issue #19 is released and the logo returns to the #12 - #17 style. Going forward, I must stop and site a variation on issue #30. While the logo is consistent in almost all regards to what had come out the month before, it appears that the notch in the O has gotten smaller for some unknown reason. I didn't go back and check every single issue with that style logo to see if any others had the smaller notch, but either way, it looks different. Now onto issue #33: the logo looks to be almost the same as issue #18, except the "TALES TO" seem to be a bit thicker on the #33. I have provided examples from my collection below for comparison. I don't have a complete run.

Wow, I'm not sure if anyone else has had this thought ... and I'm no authority on the subject, but it appears to me that your copy is signed by Jerry Iger, of Eisner & Iger fame! His real name was Samuel Maxwell Iger and the S.M. Iger on Sheena's leg could very well be his signature! He lived until 1990, so fandom was hugely established by that time and it's very likely that someone had him sign this copy at some comic event. Once again, I'm not an authority on the matter, but it seems very plausible. Oh and in case you don't already know, CGC wouldn't Signature Series this book as they didn't witness the signature. You may have a very rare autograph right there!

A once-in-a-lifetime experience for sure! Yeah, Heritage gets so much in the way of killer high grade books, that I can imagine impressing them isn't something that happens easily. However, I'm sure they were thrilled to get the comics and auction them, as they stand to make an enormous amount of money, even if their enthusiasm was less than most anyone else would express. I suppose that's what happens when you have a constant flow of killer material to auction. I'll be looking to add something from that collection to mine. Fingers crossed Oh and thanks again
