Ah, thanks lol that will do it!

Any issues I should look for? I see #15 on this page being discussed. It looked to have the early issues at HPB.... I'd assume #1 is something to look for, but I don't think they had that issue :(

I always assumed the lighter color version was late in the printing run or just a sun faded copy.

Definitely not sunfaded. I’m sure the print run ran out of ink as I have seen so many like this. I have had at least 5 myself and there are many 9.8’s on eBay.

just curious if it is an issue for potential buyers. Cgc does not distinguish but I have had questions about it from potential buyers.

#15 is the big one... The early issues are actually pretty common, but later issues were all over the map in terms of print run and distribution, and can be tougher to find. Some of the early TPBs/HCs are pricey.

These books seem to be in a bit of a slump at the moment, but they're a great read, and possible a good long-term bet.

#20 and up in high grade, especially #23 & #24.

15 has always been the "king" (apart from the #1 Gold/Blue signed copies and the legendary 3D-2D version).   As others have said, 23 & 24 are pretty tough books (for Copper Age). 

1-10 are pretty common and cheap.

I have a copy of the 3d version, was always curious how you could tell if it was the 2d version? Any hints? lol

It should probably be obvious but I'm a little dense on the subject...I bought it from a LCS so I'm probably grasping at straws

Open it up and if the book has the "3D effect", you have the 3D version.  If it doesn't, you have the 2D version.
