Sweet copies!  A wonderful collecting adventure, for sure.  I've really enjoyed following your progress.  (thumbsu  (worship)

CGC labelled STRANGE ADVENTURES No. 32 (Aust. Ed) as House of Mystery #53 due to its cover image, against my specific request that the label be titled Strange Adventures (which is clearly labelled on the cover).

CGC's policy on the labeling of "foreign editions" has varied over the years.  The current policy is stated here:

The labeling of this particular multi-book submission (#4411309) conforms to CGC's current policy, as stated above (which is probably the best any of us can expect).  That being said, it's a policy many collectors have griped about (see this 24-page thread).  :foryou:

If you're being charged $5 for imaging, you should definitely contact Accounting or Customer Service, as that service became free to all submitters as of 08-03-2023:sumo:  Most of the CGC-generated images I've seen have varying amounts of glare -- enough that I always feel compelled to rescan my own freshly encapsulated books.

Interestingly, I am currently getting the Australian version of this Strange Adventures comic [US #70] graded etc by CGC. Even though it is the same cover image, there are again notable differences.

In the Australian cover, the men are wearing Blue trousers, the machine is faded blueish colour and the title box is straightened and moved above the scientist's hand. Keen to see how it goes in grading.
