Mark J. Castaneda Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I'll let the Editorial team know to look into this. We're not finding evidence of the white background 3rd printing covers for #799 and #800. If you know of any online sources for these, drop a weblink for them in this thread. thanks.

Fred Slota Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 BTW, don't think the are 3rd printings... I think that A-3 was a dupe entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 1) Um... 798/Q was removed, while 798/A-3 is still present? To quote Willy Wonka, "Strike that. Reverse it." Please? 2) thoughts on 797, 799 and 800 white background virgin variants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J. Castaneda Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Need a bit of clarification... These white background covers for 797, 799, 800 really exist? Our editorial team is having a tough time finding them via online research. If they do exist, can anyone provide cover images for them or weblinks to them? 2ndly, are they all also later 3rd printings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Clarification - I have no proof on any of these. However, my assumption, based on the usual practice, is the 5-ptych was intended to be released in all three forms, as three different first-print variants. It might be that they never existed.

Fred Slota Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Still confused that with an apparent duplication between supposed issues #797/A-3 and 797/Q, that it was the /Q version that was deleted while the third printing /A was retained, despite it not being related to /A, and despite there not bein a second printing of /A. Can anyone verify the validity of this modification that was done in response to my initial questionting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
