Hi everyone, 

I was looking at a coverless key Marvel book and have a question.  I am aware that this particular book has a golden record reprint.  What is the difference between the two interiors to tell the original from the reprint?

I dont like what your inquiring looks shady,the kind of seller we boardies try to avoid,unless i missunderstood.if so you should be more specific in what youre trying to achieve:/

The GRRs are not publications in the sense that they have articles and advertisements, other than for other GRR products. It's not distributed on the newsstand as a periodical hence no cover price (and other things). The story is the same, but told without inclusion of ads or articles thus is a thinned out version.

I was looking at a coverless book to buy for my collection and I wanted to know how it is an original so I don't get scammed.  I'm not selling the book.

Thank you very much for answering my question.

I have noticed that even coverless books books still look good when inside a CGC cas, even 

with the N G designation

It's their Newton Ring technology.

GRR JIM #83 is a bit different to others, because Thor story is only half a book instead of printing rest of JIM #83 it reprints another story - Thor and lava man. It does utilize inside cover in b&w but rest of comic is in colour.

so lacking of page 1 is an obvious give away difference to original printing.
