Fantastic Four Annual (~1964) Canadian Editions (Blank back cover) 0

[dcny200]

Hi All,

Do the FF Annual Canadian Edition (with a blank back cover) comic books (~1964) have less of a print count than the regular American books? I'm having a hard time finding information as to whether they are considered more scarce than the regular prints or not really. GPS seems to demonstrate the latter.

Thank you!

Did you check the CGC census?

Look up annual #2 and #3.

I don't know about the total print count, but there are very few graded Canadian variants compared to standard issues

Yes.  There are roughly 10 times as many Americans as Canadians and considering the two populations have similar backgrounds you can reasonably assume there are roughly 10 times as many US editions as Canadian.  Perhaps it's 11 times or 9 times but yes, far higher number of US editions.
