Shazbot Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 So I just grabbed this Freak Brothers #1, it’s got a 75cent cover price and pink interior pages. So by all rights it can only be a 13th print right? Supposedly limited to 1,000 books, numbered, and accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity. Here’s my problem. My book came with a LoA that looks to be a photocopy or computer printout of what I assume could have been the original LoA. OK, that’s not super weird, unfortunate but not weird. The stamped numbers on the LoA and on the book match each other exactly, in number, size, font, color, etc. BUUUT, the stamps do NOT match the look of the only picture of a stamp I can find online. ComicBookRealm has a picture of a small section of a LoA, which not only shows a very different stamp than mine, but also shows the stamp placed on top of a raised seal, which mine does not have, not even as just a printed image. Seems like shenanigans to me, but SHOULDN’T a 13th print have a stamp in the book? ALSO, my production number is 1,014 out of 1,000 ?!?!? Book appears to be a legit 13th and why wouldn’t it be, it’s not a high value item. What am I missing? Thanks Spider-Variant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning55 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I have no insight to offer on the issue itself, but an observation. The first 1 in 1014 is a larger font than the other numerals. Maybe it's issue #1, copy 014. Shazbot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 You may have more luck asking over in this thread. I don't know anything about this particular variant. Shazbot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
