I picked up two 1952 Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer comcis and cannot find a price guide on either of them. One has Rudolph with a Black Nose, the other is Red Nose. I will attach pictures. I am interested in seeing why there are two different cover prints.
Thank you!!

Just happened to be online.
First - let me say those are seriously cool comics. Since you have two you should immediately send one to me (kidding!)
Second - On CPG often "less is more" in "Search Price Guide"
These comics are listed here
http://comicspriceguide.com/titles/rudolph-the-red-nosed-reindeer/yls
The trick is to search "Rudolph" - no punctuation, no commas, no apostrophes, no dashes etc.
This "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a little tricky as apparently is came out only once a year.
Also since red-nosed is hyphenated this makes it more tricky. (no dashes - remember?)
It appears on your 1952 issue came out only with a red nose. Rudolph with a back nose? Really?
Back in the day folks often "helped" the comic color artist by adding they own signature style - if you know what I mean.
Check for ink or pencil on cover with the black nose. YOu may have to look on the interior of the cover for evidence it was colored.
Hope this helps.

+1 the search seems to take some getting used to. It's finicky and easily overwhelmed by to many key words. Very cool Rudolph books though.
