x-men 50 variant question

[Marbleman3]

I had a question about how many different x-men #50 (1991 series) variants there are. From what I understand there are the following - a foil cover, a non-foil, a gold version, and an american entertainment variant.

 

However, looking at the cgc census link below for x-men #50, the following books are listed:

http://www.cgccomics.com/census/grades_standard.asp?title=X-Men&publisher=Marvel+Comics&issue=50&year=1996&issuedate=3/96

 

- A regular version, a gold version, a "speckle foil" version, a "variant" version, and a "variant gold version". So my questions are -

 

a) What is the variant gold version as opposed to the gold version?

b) Is the speckle foil version the same as just the foil version?

c) Are there 5 total versions, or just 4 of this book?

 

Thanks any help would be appreciated

Call cgc and ask

It's probably just an error in the registry where they've registered submitted Gold Variant two different ways.

There are only 4.

 

The regular "newsstand" version is standard paper. The "deluxe" version is the "speckle foil", which has a cardboard cover and is "shiny" (for lack of a better term.)

 

The "gold" version is just the deluxe edition, which is tinged slightly differently from the "deluxe" version. The easiest way to tell is the "1 of 4500" in the UPC box on the back cover.

 

And, of course, the AE white cover variant.

 

CGC just made a mistake in the census. There are actually quite a few of them when it comes to modern variants.
