Marvel UK Price Variants
Hello.
I thought I'd resurrect this subject, albeit in a new thread. New boards, new thread. And besides, my previous thread title was a bit of a mouthful.
Currently, I have documented 2,992 Marvel comics with pence only printed prices published between the dates of:
May 1960 - the date of the first known single 9d price printed comics (e.g. Gunsmoke Western #58, JIM #58, Strange Tales #75)
December 1981 – the last month before consistent dual pence/cents pricing commenced
On we go.
In my post here from page five I show the three differences between the pence copies of ASM #1 and it's centless cousin:
Those differences again (Mr Plow):
Price (duh!)
Missing month in the issue box
Thorpe & Porter indicia
I saw some speculation in a thread elsewhere once about trying pass off a pence copy as a cents, by removing the cover price. I joined in, mentioned the other two differences, and was ignored. No change there.
