Super Mario Bros #2
This has an incorrect cover price listed.
It should be $1.50, not $1.95.

Mario jumped into a secret area to find the correct cover price...

FYI
There were 2 series.
The first series was $1.95 and sold mostly outside of comic shops.through retailers like Walmart or toy stores.
The 2nd series reprints stuff from previous comics and they were sold mainly through comic shops with a price of $1.50.
The 1st series was published in much higher quantities.
Although I don't search extensively or buy online, I have never seen many of $1.50 reprints for sale to this day. My goal was to own them all, but it just never happened.

These were separate series published at different times.
I didn't click the links, but if they are listed as variant's of one another with different prices, that is wrong.
There are likely some variants on the 1st series, but not the second.
There are some really hard to find Nintendo variants like the ones sold with cassettes and such.

I believe the $1.50 ones are listed as second print price variants.

I think that is the wrong way to list them.
It's reprinted material, but the $1.50 reprints will have early ads for the superhero stuff that wasn't in the first series.
Cool (rarely seen) ads like this..
The first series has glossy card stock covers. The second series is normal cover stock.
Content from the first Nintendo series' (plural) was reprinted in multiple formats.The stories are probably switched around, but I haven't compared them side by side.
There are Mario Action books. There are hardcovers. There are Softcovers...

according to GCD, that #2b should not be where it is, it should only be under the 1990 series, and it's there too.
so 2b just needs to be removed from the 1991-92 vol 2. and the pic on the 1990 series does not need to be cropped, so no need for the pic I posted earlier.

(Acclaim / Valiant, 1990 Series) A reprint run started the following year. Each is $1.50, with months on the covers (starting with February 1991). The second run uses different covers and may have different contents. These are listed in series https://www.comics.org/series/174295/ Super Mario Bros. (Acclaim / Valiant, 1991 Series).
Both series are labeled as Vol. 1 in indicia."
