I haven't seen Cap Annual 8 yet so here's my beautiful copy. I have some Golden Age covers that I think are classic covers but I don't think anyone else really knows them...

 

 

 

 

I have to disagree with Cap annual #8 being a key simply due to the cover.  First, the interior was done by Zeck.  Secondly, Cap and Wolvie take swipes at each other (which is so awesome to see) And finally, it’s the first appearance of TESS-One.  While not a big deal now, it’s still the first appearance.  As soon as they place him in the MCU, all of you are gonna lose your minds.

My apologies if this book was already mentioned. This is one of my favorite covers and one of the first comics my Mom bought for me when I was 8.

Another popular cover. And this was my first comic book.  I still remember going into the greeting card store buying it as a little kid.

Has Defenders 10 been mentioned? Just a great bronze age battle cover that commands more value than surrounding issues. 

 

Silver Surfer 4, Silver Surfer 14, Marvel Feature 11, Sub Mariner 8, Fantastic Four 112

 

Classic "Vs" covers that collector's purchase solely for the cover

Perhaps punisher #100 as well the direct LCS edition, since it's not a variant, as well don't recall if it's been mentioned

that one is considered a variant tho.. the regular cover is just silver foil and a gun

The silver is the "foil Edition ", at least according cgc, meaning more a variant imo

No it's the regular cover.  The Non foil version.  Technically it's not a variant.

You care far, far, far too much about how CGC labels things.

Although @kav the foil Edition also has a "newsstand barcode copy"

While the one me and wolverinex are talking about is the regular cover, its "rarer to be found" and doesn't have a Newsstand edition

That in lies the confusion also that the foil has a Newsstand, as back then I would think the both the same cover of direct and Newsstand would be considered the normal cover @littledoom

But not in this case   @Lazyboy is thus also semi correct?

Technically, it definitely is a variant. Having said that, I wouldn't call it a variant in most contexts.

I'm just trying to I understand it myself

I didn't say cgc was right or wrong, in this phrase, I stated cgc's position

I tagged you in the post where I clarify "My reasoning "

 

[ADAMANTIUM]

Lol I'd admit I was wrong if I had more info

I'm pretty sure that is cgcs position though, although just because the label doesn't say variant or Edition, doesn't mean it isn't one....

I believe that I know cgcs position and have sought to understand the reasoning....

If there is more to know, I welcome it
