OK those of you who've been with us since page 1, remember when I said there were two books that I'd be fine not selling?  The first was a minty mint Haunt of Horror #1.  This is the second, the famed "purple variant". Look at it against the previously listed copies.  Magic!

Lot 214:

Sandman 1 Copy E (6.0, purple variant) $50 SOLD!

"purple variant" eh??

these companies with their cover gimmicks!

Just tell good stories!!! heh.

Wasn't intentional, this was long before the days of gimmick variants.  This is a pressman letting one short pass of this book missing 2 printing plates get through before they noticed the error and fixed it.  Because of the economics of the times and the fact that this stuff was "just for kids" they let it go and sent it off to the market.  These are actual rare, not manufactured to be so.
