| I find error books fascinating, and was inspired by TheShocker's thread on his new Dazzler book. I have a couple in my collection that are of interest to me, at least, and would like to see what publishing whoopsies other members have collected. Here are a couple of mine to start:  I find this one kind of hilarious and dumb. I love the Phonogram books, and subbed all three series at my LCS after something like issue 3 of the first. This book was recalled and destroyed, all for having the bar code from issue 4. Other than the barcode, it's identical to the corrected edition. What I find funny about it is that "nobody knew" where the issues that got into circulation came from. I knew from day one: the creative team was sent these as the comp copies, and nobody thought to ask for them back. I got mine directly from Matt Wilson, who didn't even know it was recalled at the time.  This one, I'm never sure what to call it. Is it X-Men: Manifest Destiny #5 with the wrong interior, or X-Men/Spider-Man #3 with the wrong cover?  My LCS knows I love Dazzler, so when they returned these books they held two of them out for me. I will get them graded someday, but I'm not in a hurry to do it. So those are a couple of mine. What other interesting oddities of the production process lurk in forum member's long boxes? |

  Guess you can count this as error. Was produced and sold without staples from 1942 |

 I'll probably wake up constipated.

| From that period I think it would have at least 1 staple. | ||

| @MonkeyDaluffy No-staple books are cool, especially ones that old. How lucky was that copy to stay together for over 80 years without staples? | ||

| I have a few in my PC, which I mentioned in Shocker’s thread. I’ll post up those three here shortly. I do have a one staple error book with a severe misfit at the bottom of the book, which I bought from MCS and had held for consignment….probably going to have to have them send it to CGC for slabbing as they can’t add a manufacturing error notation to the listing title. https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=59771191  |

  Here I have a Strange Fantasy #9 1952 cover wrapped around an interior of Dark Mysteries #24 from 1955. It is a known error with with this cover. Black Cat, Boy’s Ranch, War Front, and the Horror. Which my understanding is the rarest error.  |

   Page was folded over before cutting so it overlaps out when unfolded at the center fold. This is my reading copy. |
