Attack on Planet Mars (Avon) - US vs Canadian Edition? 0

[ProcessedMeatMan]

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the US and Canadian editions of this book?

I had thought the Canadian edition had No. 1 and 10c printed in the yellow beam under the "A" in "Mars"

I sent this copy to CGC for grading and they have it tagged as Canadian in the description. What am I missing?

Thanks for looking!

Not an expert but I agree, this does not look like a Canadian edition. Indicia states: Printed in the US and the address for the ad on the back cover is US-based. Have you contacted them re: apparent mistake?

Yeah I sent them a message through the site. Hopefully they make the adjustment before it's too late...

These two above look the same, the only distinction seeming to be the years - 1951 US and 1952 CAN.

Found one:

Maybe show it to CGC as it looks like they're wrong

You're welcome. I'm not 100% sure which one is which myself, but CGC clearly aren't either, as they have graded the unnumbered copy as both US and Canadian. Good luck

THANK you so much for your help! I notified CGC and they corrected the description. Whew! My hero!
