2 different paper quality on VEI Bloodshot Gold #1s?

Post by Elveen »

So as I was cleaning out my Treasure Chest I came across something strange....

I have 2 different versions of VEI Bloodshot #1 GOLD. They have different paper qualities, one is much thicker than the other.

I was wondering if anyone who has multiple Bloodshot Golds could check to see if they can find the same thing.

100% for sure I have 2 different thickness of paper.

Here is a pic of the top of them. You can see that one of them does not lay flat, and the other does. This is the way I received both of them.

Curious.

All of mine have/had the thicker cardboard stock covers, including the two CGC 9.8's I garnered.

Would like to see some full-cover hi-res scans of the "flat" version, if you ever get time to take some.

The covers are the same, it's the inner pages that are different thickness.

Then that's even goofier.

No clue on that one, because none of mine lay "flat"; they all look "wide-body", like your copy behind the flat version.

I have 3 copies of Bloodshot #1 Gold and all three are First Printings with heavier card stock covers. The pages inside appear to be a little thicker than the normal pages in a book.

Wouldn't surprise me if some got run off with the "regular" paper stock before switching to the better quality for the gold edition.
