Frankenstein #1 FIRST PRINT 1963 *See Description Painted Cover Dell CGC 4.5

Description: Comic:Frankenstein #1.CGC 4.5. Certification #4224839002.Dell Publishing. 1963. Off-white to white pages. There seems to be some confusion regarding the first and second printings of this comic because I've seen second prints sell for more than first prints. I think this is at least partially caused by GPA's entry for each of these comics. The second photo in this listing shows the entries for both the first and second printings in GPA along with an image of each of the book's CGC label. GPA does not note anywhere in its entry that the 1964 book is a reprint. For whatever reason, GPA also has the first print titled as Movie Classic: Frankenstein. So if one searches for Frankenstein #1, only the second print will show up. The 3rd photo shows a 9.8 sale of the first printing at Heritage Auctions. IMO there's no reason people should be paying more for the second printing than the first based on the sale of this first print. But the sales are confusing to look up on GPA due to their mismatching entries. Most other comics with second printings have them on the same page as the first printing on GPA and specifically state one is a second printing. I have no idea why this one is different, have emailed GPA about it and they responded but did not provide an answer or change the entries in any way. Sorry for this long-winded explanation but I take this stuff seriously! lol Condition:Case has no chips or cracks. Shipping:I combine shipping for multiple items. Shipping 2-3 additional comics is a flat additional charge of $4 for buyers in the USA.I cannot ship more than 4 comics per box so 5 or more would require a 2nd shipment with the shipping fee then starting again. All international purchases ship with Ebay's international shipping service. I do not know or have access to international rates to quote from since those amounts are determined by Ebay. If you plan to purchase multiple BIN listings or win multiple auctions, please do not pay until I send you an updated invoice with the correct shipping cost. Packaging method is shown in the last photo in this listing. This will vary slightly if more than one comic is shipped in the same package. Will ship fully insured USPS Priority. If you need a different type of shipping service, contact me prior to purchasing. Shipping addresses cannot be changed after an item is paid for.Shipping cost is determined by buyer's location. I do not charge for handling. I do not sell outside of Ebay.
