Hmmm... Mine are all direct with the negative Captain America logo. I wonder how (un)common this defect is.


I'd guess it's pretty common. About 5 million copies were printed, so even a small percentage having that scratch would still mean many are out there. I was collecting then, and I don't recall if my copies had it or if anyone really noticed it back then, but based on the small sample I looked at on e***, I think it's fairly common. I tried some google searches, with 'scratch' and 'line' on the cover for that issue, but didn't come up with anything helpful. you could do a search on the CGC forums and maybe find a thread on it, if you have time to kill and go thru too many search results.

HA! Right there in my face, and I still typed the wrong name. 🤦🏾‍♂️
I made sure to mention the scratch/line in the eBay listing.]]> Mon, 06 Mar 2023 18:16:01 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17765 Message from collectibleshop

a good place to check for that kind of stuff is e***, and use the zoom feature on ones that have good pics. I found several with the scratch, and ones without. So it's a production thing, and likely many have it (like the scratch on Predator #1), but I'd guess that ones without it get a bit higher prices, so you may need to adjust downward a bit, but be sure the mention the scratch of course. good luck with them.]]> Mon, 06 Mar 2023 16:20:13 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17765 Message from Khoskinssa


At first I thought it was something on the plastic it's sealed in, but that scratch/line is identical on all 5 of my copies.
TIA!]]> Mon, 06 Mar 2023 14:44:38 GMT
