Frisco Larson Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) The last issue of the original Avengers before some members going off on their own for a while. Avengers #15 Mexican Edition. This is kinda where I stopped collecting these Mexican copies, well except for the next issue below Edited May 21, 2020 by Frisco Larson mec3437 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisco Larson Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 And the last of my Mexican Edition Avengers books, the Avengers #25. A nice place to turn my attention to other matters for now. mec3437 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If CGC could only change the wording from 'Edition' to 'Publication' then that would be a perfect label - a 'Mexican Publication' which 'Reprints Amazing Spider-Man #54 in Spanish'. There isn't an original US printed 'El Sorprendente Hombre Arana #73' for this to be the Mexican edition of! mec3437 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mec3437 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Have you noticed any dip in paper quality or is it pretty comparable to US produced comics at that time frame? I have an Italian edition of ASM 299/300 (reprints both issues in one), and I was surprised that the cover was a heavy card stock, and the Italians didn't skimp on the paper or coloring, unlike their crappy Spider-Man film.

You're probably cringing seeing me adopt that terminology on pretty much every post. I'll try to remember that going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I have. MANY of the copies I've found have lesser paper quality than the US books. Only on occasion have I seen nice quality pages, like the Fantucchio pedigree copies.

I was going to comment on how many of your books look very nice despite the paper quality being lesser than their U.S. counterparts...makes them even more impressive. The paper quality reminds me of some German reprint publications I bought in the late 70s, one of which was a Spidey #129 (Die Spinne) reprint that ended up grading 8.5 when I sent it into CGC.

Thanks! Several of the books came from a specific dealer and appear to be pretty much uncirculated. Even some of those copies have a minor tanning halo, not bad at all, just a different shade color of paper. I'm not sure if CGC would downgrade for that. I can ask Matt next time I talk with him. I know that they do if it's severe, not sure when it's minor. I'm curious about the German Spider-Man you mentioned. What did CGC call the pages on it? I'd love to see it if you have a pic! I have some Other Nation publications too and just dig them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually very happy with the grade, considering I never bagged or boarded it and just kept it in a box for almost 40 years before submitting it to CGC...I don't have a photo of it slabbed, but here's a (not great) scan of it "in the raw" from back in 2007...
