Anyone else here collect Marvel price variants?

[tay666]

Just curious if anyone else here were into these.



Especially since I just got another one in the mail yesterday.

I don't collect the price variants, but I do have some variants of the same book such as UPC differences, or a couple books with Gold Key/Whitman logos.
It's been awhile since I saw any of the price variants, I know they can get pretty pricey.

[tay666]

Yeah. The 30 cent variants aren't that bad.
But the 35 cent ones can get rediculous.

I only collect them for my Conan collection.
And am working to eventually have a complete run of newstand and direct sale versions as well (with direct sale versions not starting until issue 70)

I've also been picking up versions from other countries.

I still remember passing on a foreign edition of Conan when I was in a Cuban grocery store in Washington DC when I was a kid....

It would bother me that I couldn't read the stories if I had a foreign language edition and I'm way too lazy to translate the words.
I don't even like when they put those Kryptonian symbols in some Superman stories unless they put the translation there too.
On the topic at hand: I have picked up the DC Whitman variants but that's about it.

I have a couple of the marvel price variants in my collection. I do know right off hand which ones expect for the Star Wars #1; $.30 & $.35 versions. I also have some Golden Keys Price Variants; both Golden Keys not one Golden Key and one whitman. I also have a few comics that were released with two covers in stead of one.
I was wonder, how many marvel price variants are there of 1st prints.

Foreign editions are kind of neat, even if you can't read the language. I have a German Ultimate Spider-Man #1, and some Japanese Spawns, and an old 60s Thor in French. My brother went to France a couple years ago and brought me some Simpsons comics in French as well.

I picked up a couple 60S British westerns anthologies in B/W, and the weird thing is they contain stories from DC, Marvel, and Charlton comics, all in the same book.

Here is a list of the 30 cent variants

And the 35 cent variants

As far as I know, only a handful of collectors have completed both sets so far.
