The FF #252s are listed in Overstreet #47(2017) at $8 with Tattooz and $6 without in NM-, and ASM #238 is listed at $150 with and $80 without in NM-, a discrepancy that highlights this dilemma, with Tattooz worth between $2 and $70 for the same item. At some point, although my original note remains in the guide about the switching of Tattooz between books, this was changed back to the original mistaken listing (including the explicit mistaken statement that NO Type 1a Canadian variants exist) with two values, with and without Tattooz. Collectors aren’t sure what to believe and that’s how the CGC myth is perpetuated. Once upon a time, I called Bob Overstreet and told him that the FF #252’s Tattooz were being used as Spidey #238’s Tattooz and that the cure was to list them as same value, which he agreed with and subsequently did so. Overstreet listings are confused, forced to respond to CGC’s nonsense. Ideally, the Tattooz ARE absent due to the slow degradation of the contents that will eventually effect paper quality inside. Should we call Incredible Hulk #181 without a Mark Jewelers insert incomplete? I believe this problem originates from the fact that the comic’s cover mentions Tattooz, as does the cover to Fantastic Four #252. It was printed in a standard, old fashioned way, independent of the Tattooz inserted later just like Mark Jewelers ads from the 1970s were inserted. Jon notes: This book is NOT incomplete without Tattooz. Paul notes: 75¢ variants of this issue did indeed come with Tattooz included book is considered incomplete at CGC (green qualified label) if absent.īen notes: My note can be found in this separate blog post » 1st Appearance of Hobgoblin Came with Tattooz
