Re: New Mutants First Appearance...what's going on?

Is there any difference in the FMV of New Mutants' 1st appearance in Marvel's Graphic Novel #4 with a cover price of $4.95 and one with a $5.95 cover price? I purchased mine way back in 1982 in Canada, not the US. I don't believe mine are reprints and am hoping the difference may simply be the price at the time between copies being sold in the US and copies sold in Canada....which would make mine a Canadian Variant? Overstreet does list #4 as being published in 1982 and Go Collect agrees....on a 2nd page. However, they state that the copies with a $4.95 cover price were published  in 1981. 

Does anyone know why there is a discrepancy on this between Overstreet and GoCollect. Someone has got it wrong and because I have 7 copies, 3 of which could be 9.8's if I went ahead and graded them, I'm kinda' curious as to what's going on these.

GPA shows the $ 5.95 cover as selling for as much as double the $ 4.95 .... it doesn't call it a Canadian variant, but one would presume... This is for 1st print. No distinction is made for prints 2-6.  GOD BLESS...

Thanks guys. If I'm reading this right, no difference between the US $4.95 version and the CDN $5.95 versions.

Only in most recent sale of 9.8 of you look at 9.6, 9.4, 9.2 it is closer to what JimJum was saying as the $5.95 sells for closer to double.

I don't think you are reading it right, if you are referring to that GPA screencap.  EVERY price is different in all grades for the standard vs. $5.95 version.  Don't know how you could conclude "no difference".

We'd also need to see the Canadian 9.8 ... it may be a soft one, or closed on a bad night.  GOD BLESS...

Yeah, your right, I wasn't reading it right. It makes sense the $5.95 (and yes, I'll call it the Canadian Variant) is more expensive as there are not too many out there relative to the $4.95 copy. And, I'm basing that on what's currently selling on e-bay
