Tough one

edit:

Here I got a 2 for ya

Edited February 10, 2017 by Chadwick

[Silver Surfer]

I have 3 high grade copies of #2.  Let me know if you need a copy. 

[Philflound]

How come the Booster Gold #1 and 'Tec 523 don't say Canadian Edition on the label?

Edited February 11, 2017 by Philflound

[Silver Surfer]

Not my subs but apparently CGC missed labelled one and I'm guessing that whomever sent in the other one forgot to note it.

[Silver Surfer]

Picked up another dozen high grade slabs from various titles. I'm starting to get hooked on the Tec and Batman runs but I'm running out of room to put these.

[Philflound]

Is there an actual list of all these?

[Chadwick]

The bats and tec runs have some epic covers.

I don't remember if I posted this pic here before (even though I'm the creator of this thread ).  Here are some of mine:

I'm glad Mike Kaluta got to finish up the last year or so of this run.

I'd like to see one myself but most of these had a 4 years run of issues. For example FF#247 I believe was the first issue and I think it ran until 290ish? Spidey started at #233. DC might be different?

[Philflound]

Someone is bound to have or can make a list. I think it would be noteworthy. I know I own a Star Wars Canadian issue, but can't remember which one. I think it was in the 50s or 60s. Have to check my stock. Once I'm able to get through my personal collection, I may find more.

[Silver Surfer]

Just added a Swamp Thing #49 9.6 plus an Alpha Flight #28  9.8, Batman #361 9.6. and King Conan #1 9.6

Not sure if this is exhaustive, but it runs through the dates that are typically associated with the start and end of the Canadian Editions

Interesting CAD edition articles by Doug Sulipa from a few overstreets

Issue #38

Canadian Newsstand VARIANT Cover Price editions to their Collection, sold better than ever before, as awareness spreads. There are FAR too many of them (5000++) to EVER be listed in the main part of the GUIDE. Many times this year i saw them Both intentionally & mistakenly Sold as "Rare Price Variants, NOT listed in Overstreet. [Just 2 examples of Many; a FA/G Transformers #1 and a GI Joe #21 in VG, both sold for over $50 on eBay]; Most want the comics of their Favorite Character or Artist, but some just like Variants & will ask for more Obscure Titles. In General these are about 50 to 100 Tmes Scarcer than a USA Direct Edition Printing. To make matters more difficult, about 90% of them are only FA/G thru FN/VF, with about 9% in VF or VF+, and perhaps 1% are in VF/NM or better. ** DATES for Canadian Newsstand Cover Price Variants Existing include; ARCHIE Comics & Digests (1/1984-12/1997), CHARLTON (2/1983-8/1984), DC(all Newstand Comics, Magazines & Digests from 10/1982-9/1988), DELL (random 1960-1962, plus Back Cover variants & assorted 1950's Cover Price variants = Regular issues with 15 Cents Covers & Giants with 30 cents covers), GOLD KEY(5-8/1968, and 4/1972-4/1973), HARVEY(1960's Giants with 35 Cent cover prices), MAD (some 1964 & 7/1978-7/1979), MARVEL (all Newstand Comics, Magazines & Digests from 10/1982-8/1986), WARREN (3/1977-3/1983), WHITMAN (Mainly Early 1981, & 1983-1984); We sell these Variants at 135-200% Guide; High Grade copies have been known to change hands at 300% or More Guide. Very few of these Variants have been graded by CGC. For example, Secret Wars #8 has 1885 Copies Graded, but only ONE Canadain Variant (in FN) on their Census. One day i expect that VARIANT Collectors will regret not buying these sooner

 

Issue #40

Canadian Newsstand VARIANT Cover Price Variant editions, were our bestselling variants of the year. These are NOT broken out & Listed in the Guide, because there are too many of them (over 5000?). I sell these Variants at 125-150% Guide for most & more for High Grade copies; I am often asked how many of these exist, or how Scarce are they; Canadian Print Runs are 10% or Less of American issue quantities. Thus if 200,000 Printed, about 20,000 would be Canadian, of those 50% would have been Direct & 50% Newsstand. Approx 75% of Direct editions still exist today in Collections & Comic Dealer inventories, but the Survival Rate of Newsstand copies is about 25% of the Original Print runs (because they were sold to Non-Collectors); Thus in this example; 5% of the Print run of 200,000 copies would have been printed as Canadian Newsstand VARIANT Cover Price Variant editions, with about 2500 copies surviving thru to today (approx 1.25% of the Original Print Run); thus they are about 50-100 Times Scarcer than a USA Direct Edition Printings. Because newsstand copies were sold to Non-Collectors, perhaps 90%, are Lower Grades (G thru FN); Only a Handful of these Variants have even been graded by CGC, perhaps because they have not yet realized some of them are Variants yet. . ** DATES for Canadian Newsstand Cover Price Variants Existing include; ARCHIE Comics & Digests (Giant from late 1950's thru Mid 60's; and 9/1982-4/1997 with Digest to 12/1997), CHARLTON (2/1983-8/1984), DC(all Newstand Comics, Magazines & Digests from 10/1982-9/1988), DELL (6/1956-1-2/1961 = 15 Cent variant; Back Cover variants with Strips in place of Ads; Giants with 30-35 cent cover prices), GOLD KEY / Whitman (5-8/1968, 3/1972-4/1973, 12/1977-3/1978, 1-7/1984), HARVEY(1959-3/1974 Giants with 35 Cent cover prices), MAD (some 1964 & 7/1978-7/1979), MARVEL (all Newstand Comics, Magazines & Digests from 10/1982-8/1986), WARREN (3/1977-3/1983); ** Recommended Variant items to Buy: Archie (First & Last issues, Cheryl Blossom app, Key issues), Charlton (Low print Horror), DC(Batman, New Teen Titans, Swamp Thing), Dell (all Back Cover non-Ad variants), GOLD KEY / Whitman (Donald Duck, Little Lulu, Magnus, Tarzan, Turok, Uncle Scrooge, all 1984 whitman & all Horror titles), Harvey (all Richie Rich & Hot Stuff Giants), Mad (Key issue popular culture cover & story issues), Marvel (G.I.
