Eternals Vol 1 #17 with no bar code and different corner box? 0

[mrjwkellyjr]

I’m trying to figure out anything about this comic. It’s not a standard issue but I really have no idea where to start to identify it. 
It has a publication date inside front cover as November 1977 but no listing of a different printing other than first  

Any help is appreciated.

Good morning, thanks for your message.  Our graders would need to examine the book in hand before they can make any determinations.  If you would like to send the book in for grading, you can find more information here: https://www.cgccomics.com/submit/how-to-submit/

Thanks!

Hi Jennifer

Thank you for responding. 
Could I post this in the forums to see if anyone else has seen one like this? 
 

Thank you

It is what is commonly called a Whitman Marvel. It's an early direct edition book that was distributed as part of a multi-pack. High grade copies can sell for nice money.
