These are great books. I've only got one of these but a number 1 mislabeled by CGC as a #3 and sold that way by ComicLink!! Yes, I got a smoking deal just by looking at what the cover actually said!! Remember, comics are for reading and you can't always trust everything you read!!

That's amazing.  The person who submitted it to CGC, CGC, and CLink all managed to miss the error.  Seems incredible, but I encountered something similar a few years ago when Heritage auctioned a copy of Mickey Mouse 79 (published in 1961 and not worth much) that was actually a copy of Four Color 79 (published in 1945 and featuring Carl Barks's one and only Mickey Mouse story).  I won it, but at least one other bidder had noticed the problem, so I only got a bit of a discount to FMV.

In a recent Heritage signature auction, they had a book that was slabbed backwards, with the back cover at the front of the slab.  That one I pointed out to them and they said I was the only person who had noticed it.

Mickey Mouse FC 79 for the price of MM Series 79 would have been a sweet deal indeed! It pays to pay attention!!
