I've seen people advertising these as 'printers proofs' and that sort of thing. Many similar Marvel Canadian editions from this period exist.<br /><br />Oddly enough, at least with the Golden Age titles, the Canadian variants sell for LESS than the US counterpart - even though significantly fewer were originally printed, and they were printed at the same time in the US and trucked into Canada.<br /><br />Wacky collector mentalities.<br /><br />But remind me: why is Dave spending money on this sort of thing?<br /><br />Steve<br />Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324364972414451992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-19051239232364452922020-08-01T07:00:58.924-05:002020-08-01T07:00:58.924-05:00I have that issue of "The Amazing Spider Man&...I have that issue of "The Amazing Spider Man" safely bagged & boxed somewhere in my closet.<br /><br />I can retire now, right?<br /><br /><br />Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375459484639179890noreply@blogger.com
