Weird.  Also what is up with the Cap head in place of the code??

The only thing I can think is that is the difference between newsstand and direct editions...

Comparing these 2 copies on ebay...

Ya it's because it is the newsstand, here is another link to yet another newsstand that isn't Canadian price, yet has the captain america....

All the direct editions have the "code"

@Get Marwood & I am I right? Or are you keeping notes? :shy:

Using Daredevil as example, direct copies stop carrying the code with issue 199, Oct/83, but the newsstand copies continue having the code... except 231.

Apparently, someone lost the comics code seal that week, and had to substitute.

I don't know, but the Cap head appears on several books from that month. If someone wanted to do a Copyright office search, I bet they'd find these were all published the same week.

Marvel stopped printing the CCA seal on the covers of Direct editions for several years, starting with the Marvel "M" in Oct, 1983 cover dates, when they did away with the "Marvel Comics Group" banner at the top of their books. Figured that comics stores didn't need them. That doesn't mean they weren't CCA approved, though, and those were printed in the price/issue box for the next several years. 

When they got rid of the "M" format, and went to the box format for all issues, starting with Apr, 1987 cover dates, the code appeared once more on Direct issues, before disappearing for good around 2001. RIP CCA.

What's the most expensive cover price on a Canadian edition?  The baxter paper special editions are up there at $2.25, but this is the highest one I own.  Anything higher?

Pretty Sure the Last Days of the JSA had a 3.50 cover
