Picked this up recently, no notation...

 

I actually don’t mind when they miss the notation as it usually means that the book is cheaper (like my recent FF#249 purchase) to acquire.

Thing is, it might not be a Canadian. It could be a later print. The only way they can be identified is the ads. First printing should have a burger time ad if I am not mistaken.

First I have heard of that. Maybe with certain later runs or more so with DC’s, which I don’t really follow. I’ve never seen or heard of later prints for a book like FF #249.

Later print for Return of the Jedi, not FF 249

Looking to upgrade my FF#258 and #260. I have 9.8 copies but with that other grading company.

I bought this off the comic rack of my local gas station/convenience store, along with dozens of other CAD variant titles of both DC and Marvel during my youth in the 1980s.  Sadly, the vast majority of the books that survived from from those days are mid-grade at BEST, but I'm pleased this one managed to made it through relatively unscathed.  I haven't sent it in for grading yet but it's going in my second submission next month.

Found one with a proper label.

You're charging into these Canadian editions like a new guy, what gives? 

[Silver Surfer]

Had most of them for a while. The FF’s and the Thor’s are my favourite.
