Aman619 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 hold on---werent the blank interrior cover Marvels just Canadian issues? I remember some early annuals with this variant, and the seller even mentions them in the description (in passing of course)... Something about the ads for American productes not allowed in Canada, or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blowout Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 That sounds like a possiblity, if it is only ads that are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I dont remember all the details but was Avengers 20 onsale same time as the annuals with blank covers? I think Avengers 20 was much later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushroom Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 By the way, as this is something that comes up in all the restoration threads we have.....PLEASE NOTE...that CGC notates this as an ERROR...not a VARIANT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowout Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 PLEASE NOTE...that CGC notates this as an ERROR...not a VARIANT. An important distinction, but not one that collectors often make. Check out crazy eBay prices realised for books like Venom #1(early 90's) black cover $200+, and Bloodshot #0 platinum logo $600+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Do they also list the Annuals as errors? how can it be an error if it was done on purpose by Marvel?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackandpresstoan11 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 This is the 3rd or 4th time in the past year an Avengers #20 9.0 with this error has been on Ebay. Either there are a bunch of them, or the book has been flipped a number of times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awe4one Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Do they also list the Annuals as errors? how can it be an error if it was done on purpose by Marvel?? No.....these are Canadian copies undoubtedly. They pop up every so often..... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicparadox Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 I remember seeing some Eastern Color Printing covers in the mid-1980's for sale in comics shop near White Plains NY. The covers were Marvel superhero books from the 1964 - 1966 timeframe, and they all had blank interiors. I believe they were printer's proofs that had been bought up. Could it be that these covers have been "grafted" onto interiors? Remember there was an ASM #5 in 9.0 that got a Qualified grade for blank interiors about 2 years ago in eBay - I think ComicKeys/Hammer/Methuselah/Dupcak/etc was the seller...

I believe I remember seeing an F.F. 19 Qualified NM or NM- on eBay a year or so back that also had a married cover from the same collection. It was a gorgeous book, if you didn't mind the Qualified grade. I wonder how many people were expecting a Universal grade for these beauties (which they likely paid a premium for) when they submitted them, only to get back as a Green label denoting a married cover?

aardvark88 Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 Different Eastcoast dealers were selling the untrimmed silver Marvel cover printer proofs over 10 yrs ago. e.g. Pete Koch of Koch-Dolgoff-Koch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
