Fantastic Four Annual # 2 ('64) with NO ADS on covers! Weird!!!

[smileLP]

hi,

 

anyone ever heard of an early marvel book being printed without the ad on the back cover, or for that matter on the insides of the front and the back cover? just blank white where the ad(s) normally go!

 

is this some kind of a prototype? a misprint? a known phenomenon i'm unaware of?

 

i really doubt it's some kind of assembled repair/forgery/color cover thing, because the spine is totally linked to the covers w/no interruptions, and the wear on the book including the covers makes it all look very of the period and genuine

 

thanks for any insight!

canadian variant. it's common.

does it affect value?

 

also, it says 25¢ on the cover, pretty standard looking. i guess that means 25 canadian cents?

 

thanks!

no. doesn't affect value. some collectors might even pay more for the variant.
