ASM 5 interior color error 1 1

[crimson dynamo]

Anyone else come across this printing error, or know how common this was during the early days of Marvel for ASM?

 

Wondering if this would qualify as a specific grader note on a slab like modern error books.

Cor, that's lovely 

I used to have a copy - here's a scan of the label I made for it:

I think I saw an additional three separate copies on my travels - two on eBay, and one at Heritage I think. So it doesn't crop up that often. There is a market for error copies like this and I sold mine for quite a bit more than the amount a standard copy would fetch at the time.

I would expect CGC to make a note of it, should you submit it, but I suspect you'd have to agree that with them first.

I've since graduated to this alternative pence copy. Issue #5 was clearly an error prone issue!

Thank you for your insight Sir!  Did not realize this error was that uncommon.   

 

Love that pence error!

The copy on the left is the green error. Copy on the right has no issues.  You can definitely see a contrast in the covers when it comes to the red

The main problem would be all the previous copies they've graded without noting any difference...

I see what you mean but the covers are actually printed separately so I don't think any subtle differences in colour contrast would have any bearing on the guts.

Guts is a good word isn't it, come to think of it, for the internal pages. You have wrongly coloured guts Crimson!

That's possible of course, but I can't imagine any knowledgeable owners allowing CGC to effectively hide the error by failing to note it. You never know though, eh.

My ASM 5 is encased....and was bought as such. It simultaneously does and does not have this error...which I guess means if I were to sell I would simultaneously ask market and slightly above market value for it

  love how the seller purports to know that "there are only 4 or 5 of these misprints known to exist" - too funny.

Well, I've only seen another 3 copies since buying that one back in 2006, so it doesn't look like he was that far off.
