Owner's Description

From the perspective of the CGC census, 35-cent price variants for Star Wars issues #2, 3 and 4 are less common than issue #1. This may be the result of how long the price variants of these other issues were commonly known to collectors though.

During the early 1990s, I recall the Overstreet Price Guide listing the Star Wars issue #1 35-cent price variant – but not the other issues. Someday, I hope to find the specific edition of the Overstreet Price Guide which listed the 35-cent price variants for these particular issues.

I give credit to the internet forums leading to the awareness of these variants. The increased awareness probably led to the Overstreet advisors recommending the addition of these price variants in the guide along with price variants of other Marvel titles from the same era.

From what I can tell from internet articles, Five (5) of the Six (6) test cities to include 35 cent variants websites included:
- Memphis, TN
- Toledo, OH,
- Tuscaloosa, AL,
- Wilmington, NC, and
- San Antonio, TX (less references list this city though).
