Hello Peeps,

Hey, I just came across a cool video on youtube letting viewers know about the JC Penny reprints. In the video Drew explains that these are really hard books to tell from the 1st prints. While many can be determined by the front cover some require the back cover pics as the only way to identify them, besides looking at page 1 or paper quality and smell which is not normally shown on Ebay....So beware my friends. I do see this site DOES list the one reprint I was looking at but it does not show the back cover.....Is it possible to add the back cover pics for these books and a possible addition of info on the details tab? I just wonder how many people got burnt on this and wondering how many are being sold on EBAY now as "BUY IT NOW". An example is Avengers 88 where you can't really tell the difference by looking at the front cover but the back cover will show you. For reference I've included the Youtube video which I will found helpful, hope you do too...

Many Thanks...

I see CPG has Penney misspelled on the Avengers 88 listing as Penny: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/avengers-the/88-JCPEN/sjstcr
mycomicshop says "Can be identified by having a Stridex ad on the back cover." Also would be helpful to note it's a reprint in the subtitle to make it extra clear.

CPG usually doesn't show back covers except on a few gatefold/wraparound covers. If they add the Stridex ad notation, that should be enough.

Thank you. Fixed the spelling of JC Penney, added the remarks, and generated a full b/f cover scan; located at the link above.
