Two beautiful copies, Picky Pat. I think I’d let the page quality decide if there’s a difference, but if not, I’m leaning toward copy B. I’m a sucker for that Marvel brown.

They are both very nice.

It's funny that you mention that color as 'Marvel brown.'

One of my collecting buddies and I call it 'Batman brown,' because it seems like half the Bronze Batman books had that brown on the cover - like the printer had a liquid bleep-ton of it laying around and were giving discounts on the color.

This first one would be my choice, Patrick.  Beautiful white cover stock that makes the Surfer look great, and the yellow of the title positively jump off the page.  

I totally agree...

If you're not planning to sell until closer to when the movie comes out you have some time to make a decision as to which copy you like better as your keeper.
