I wonder if people at the time asked for refunds. I would have lol. Interesting story behind this thanks for posting. 

Marvel was notorious for missed deadlines/ reprints in that era. The revolving door at Editor couldn't have helped. In about a year, the Avengers  printed a reprint from Amazing Adventures, a two part fill in story and then missed  the much hyped Avengers 150, which was supposed to introduce the new team. Instead we got a couple new pages and a condensed reprint of #16.

Heck,  Jungle Action #5 announces the start of a new Black Panther series and instead has a bunch of reprints in it.

It happened often enough that I learned to flip thru a book before buying, although I mostly bought them anyway.

 

I can just imagine asking the old lady that ran the candy store I frequented for a refund because the book was a reprint.

When I was little my family used to spend a lot of time in Australia and I bought a lot of Aussie Marvel/DC books. They were basically compiling a few comics in one book and had a random cover for each one. There were sooo many times that they would print a cover of a story that never appeared in the interior and I would be soooo disappointed. The most memorable one was a book that had Supes & Sgt Rock on the cover (cover used from DCP #10) and the interior had nothing but Sgt Rock reprints

Yes, it's Jungle Action #23 that reprints the DD #69 story.
