price variants or Canadian issued?

[BrianR]

Hello I was just given a large quanity of Avenger comics free and I was sorting through them and found a few varations on the prices of some of the books. Now I know technically these are not bronze age books but the modern forum seems to follows newly released books. I believe these books are from Canada, but I never ran arcoss any here in Arizona. So the question is are they marvel's atempt to test higher prices like the 30 and 35 cent varaiants or not. Thanks

Those are Canadian cover price variants. Other books that I know of are Thor 337, a whole bunch of Spideys, a bunch of Daredevils and some others. There are at least two sets of Canadian cover price variants, the 60/75 cent ones you're showing, and a 75/95 cent set.

There are some X-Men's in the low 200's with the same 60/75 US/Canadian price difference.

I think the other difference if I am not mistaken is the 75 cets issue is a newsstand issue while th e60 censt issue is a direct market issue

Here is a previous thread where this was diccussed. BTW, there are also "Canadian variants" of DC issues in the 1980's.
