Questions that needs answers!!!

 

Hi everyone, I am a new member on the CGC forum and I have a question to ask those who could tell me some answers. I recently purchase this 1983 comic book The Thing #6 and I notice something different about the price on the cover page.

 

On my comic book cover the price stated is 75cents. I searched online and everywhere and on all the other copies of Marvels 1983 The Thing #6 has 60 cents printed on the front cover not 75 cents.

 

So is my copy a misprint because of the 75 cents instead of 60 cents? Or is just a normal comic book?

 

Thanks for reading, please reply!

I checked the CGC registry set for Thing and looked on comicspriceguide.com but do not see any variants listed. Could be this is a price variant and the $0.75 version just hasn't been documented yet (most likely) or maybe this is a misprint. Either way, there's not enough interest in the title to drive demand for something like this...still, cool to see something different. Thanks for sharing!

maybe a Canadian edition?

Knew I had this one and so I grabbed it real quick. Yeah, mine says $.60 cents. Great looking cover!

So is it worth getting it graded or should I just put it back with my other collection of comics?

This is most likely a Canadian newsstand version. There are certain collectors who like to find high-grade Canadian price version, and to them it will probably not matter if it is CGC graded or not. From the spine stresses visible in the scan, I would say it would probably not resell for more than the cost of the grading. An unusual comic (unless you're in Canada), but not a highly priced one.
