Funny that this story made the rounds earlier this week.  Maybe that helped?  https://geektyrant.com/news/marvel-reportedly-developing-a-silver-surfer-movie

Iron pyrite rather than gold in this case.

To be fair, I wasn't aware of certain titles being reprints when I started collecting as a kid.

I'd read names such as Marvel's Greatest Comics, Marvel Tales and Fantasy Masterpieces, and it wouldn't necessarily explicitly indicate to me that these were reprints, anymore than partial reprint books such as the extremely generic-sounding Marvel Super-Heroes would.  This would either be because I didn't have much access to Silver Age books, or the titles simply weren't being distributed to the UK at the time.

Luckily, even though I 'hadn't done the research', I never put myself in a situation where I was gouged like this, even for just a £ or two at the time.  Much more important to educate and protect yourself now if getting involved with the current, highly-inflated back issue market.  

It didn't help that sometimes there would be something to alert you to the fact that the story was originally presented elsewhere, usually on the splash page and sometimes no mention is made at all as in the following examples.
