  1. I just came into possession of a Blazing Comics #5 and in researching the issue, am seeing a phenomenon that I'm not used to, that of remaindered comics in a common cover.  Does anyone know anything about the "never-distributed Feature Stories Magazine (Fox, 1950 series) #4 (The Iroquois Trail)" ?  That is the one that I have.  I think it would be cooler to have a GA Batman or Detective Comics.  Anyone know what is meant by never distributed, and is there a variant remainder version that is more desirable/valuable?  It's s solid grade, and possibly worth slabbing if the value is there.  I just don't see a lot of precedent for this book.

  2. Reason for the ask is that I was considering purchasing a graded copy of Batman 423 with the McFarlane cover, noticed the 75c price on the cover with no CDN or UK pricing, and no bar code, which is indicative of a 2nd/3rd print, but looked at the CGC label and there was no notation of the printing.  I've owned several graded second prints of various keys books of the same vintage and they all said "Second Printing" on the label.  It struck me as odd that something foundational to the value, such as print order, would be, and I'll use the term "missing" on the grader label.  Especially considering the disparity in value between printings.
