First Price Variant Ever?

[OldGuy]

From CBG #1539. This variant is from 1958. The creases in the photos are from folds in the sent photocopies.

This is slightly older 15cent cover variant (Sept 1957)

 

 

But...then I remembered, that there was a REALLY old More Fun Comics price variant...and here it is:

 

 

More Fun Comics #59 15-cent Price Variant (DC, 1940)

Think I recall reading there is a Batman 3 15 cent price variant. Published around Fall, 1940.

I don't know much about Golden Age but weren't some of the Worlds Fair Comics issued at .25 instead of the normal .15. Seems I remember something about it. I'm sure someone can elucidate.

From Overstreet:

 

"The 1939 edition (New York World's Fair) was published 4/39/39 and released 4/30/39, the day the fair opened, at 25c, and it was first sold only at the fair. Since all other comics were 10c, it didn't sell. Remaining copies were advertised beginning in the August issues of most DC comics for 25c, but soon the price was dropped to 15c. Everyone that sent a quarter through the mail for it received a free Superman #1 or #2 to make up ther dime difference. 15c stickers were placed over the 25c price. Four variations on the 15c stickers are known. The 1940 edition was published 5/11/40, and was priced at 15c. It was a precursor to World's Best #1"
