What really sickened me where the sellers teaching others how to remove the inserts and fool CGC. What's really unspeakable is that CGC could be "fooled" by that BS. I almost said that and left it out. I can let them slide a bit on this one. Criminals and fraud artists are going to occasionally get something by them. There have been worse scandals over the years.

frozentundraguy Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I have to admit I never ran across an insert. Issue 2 in the limited 1993 series looked good enough to slab, so I sent it in a couple of years ago. ADAMANTIUM and Bart Allen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozentundraguy Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I had this issue located in the wrong box. It's in the regular series. Kind of like Sonic's clever retort, "wadoyou want - a soot sweeper or a sweet suiter?". ADAMANTIUM and Bart Allen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1292 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Alright boys and girls, bringing this topic back from the DEAD. I have another variant I would like to point out for the mini comic. Only difference I could find is the leaf color. One is green and one is yellow. Any insight on this? Check the attachments.

I forget the thread, but did it come with the video game? or any other specific distribution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1292 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I am unaware of where it came from. I find it interesting there are a lot less with the yellow leafs, even in past sales. Im beginning to think 1st or 2nd print? It could be a possibility that the yellow and green were sold or placed in different areas but had same print date. I am shocked this hasn't been a topic yet on the leaf color... Bart Allen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Allen Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Actually, in point of fact, the 1st appearance of Sonic and Doctor Robotnik was the manga contained in Mega Drive Fan of 1991 ~ The gaming magazine - which had the manga included within - had a cover date of July 1991, however, in Japan the release date is usually a month prior to the cover date; ergo, the manga predates both the North American and Japanese release dates of the Sonic the Hedgehog video game, and naturally also the Sonic the Hedgehog #1 from Fall 1991, too (outside of Rad Mobile and Puzzle Construction) ~ Link: https://archive.org/details/md_fan_199107_extra_2_sonic_story_comic_vol1/mode/2up Edited February 26 by Bart Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really late to the party here, but I suspect a production error rather than an intentional variety here; the "yellow" copy is also missing the green ink from the bird (or whatever that is) between Sonic and the pillar Bart Allen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
