lostboys Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Help me out. What exactly do I have here? One is blue to light blue One is green to yellowish green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning55 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The second one looks more like the usual - an amber to green color overall, but will shift in color a bit when viewed from different angles, changes in lighting, different camera lenses, etc. The first is a blue hologram error, which is found sometimes, in varying amounts of blue, sometimes almost black. Also can be any combination of color "blotches" in it, such as being mostly amber/green with a heavy blue area. The blue hologram Wolverine is the only recognized error of the 6 fatal attraction holograms that were produced. At mycomicshop.com, they list it as an error. Since all 6 probably have similar instances, I don't know why only 1 is differentiated. https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?q=wolverine+75&pubid=&PubRng= 4th image down Some people (like me) collect the different error holograms. Some people will tell you that they are intentionally or accidentally fabricated (usually heating), but I have never seen any evidence of this.

Wolvie isnt the only one, I've also seen cable 25, would have bought it, but it was a green hologram error and I prefer the blue and or black You can see that the cable 25 sold on Ebay with the green error Lightning55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostboys Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Thanks for the info. Is there any added value or is it just a cool thing to collect the diff covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a matter of perspective It's a niche, of seemingly books that aren't all that special I guess from a value perspective, but if you're a wolvie fan, they hold relevance due to story. The errors may give rise to the collector of oddities, but at least they may have more value than the non errors. It being a relevant story, provides speculation, which gives way to value of the oddity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastballspecial Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Ive found cracked ones, missing ones(but I think they were removed), blue and one Black. Black seems toughest to find. Blue are rare too, but Ive found a few. Id love to find an upside down one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeR138 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I found a black hologram X-Men 25 this last weekend. It's pretty beat up, which makes me think there is something to the idea that storage has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt really explain all the high grades, and people have tried to replicate with no success. That said The ones with cracked holograms get distorted designation too? That might me replicable idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know the scoop on these? I haven't been able to find any info or listings of any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
