I just want to double check with the community to make sure my GI Joe #1, Nov2024, Kirkham cover is legit. I only question it as the premium cover is a wrap over of the "A" cover. The premium cover is card stock with white insides, no markings. Back is standard showing the different covers you can get, UPC, and different shop logos. Inside is the "A" cover and its back, with all the standard markings, indicia on inside this cover, and a different UPC on the "A" back. Also leagueofcomicgeeks.com states this is a $19.99 comic, but mine does not show a price other than the $4.99. Anyone else own or seen this edition that can verify? Thanks

Series: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/gi-joe/1/piwthqw . I tried to find any pics of the insides but couldn't. was hoping an e**y seller might have them, but the ones I checked didn't (didn't check every one tho), and no one mentioned the outer cover was over the A cover. So since it's a Gotham City Limit exclusive, ask them: gclshopcontact[@]gmail.com.
99.9% chance it's legit, as who would bother to print up 'fake' foil covers and staple/glue them to the regular A edition? Gotham's site has them priced at 19.99 now (but 29.99 on e**y) but that doesn't mean that was the original retail, so ask them. found another site claiming a sale price of $7+change too. e**y is all over the place, but why are people asking over $19.99 when another seller is still selling them ON e**y for 19.99? And why does Gotham on ebay and other sellers say it's by Boom Studios, when it's from Image/Skybound? and why can't sellers get it straight that it's spelled G.I. with the periods, and not GI?
these and other questions will maybe answered on a future episode of......the Twilight Zone. neeny-noony, neeny-noony..
CPG is also missing this variant if someone wants to add it. Limited to 1,000 copies. the league shows 73 different covers, CPG only has like 32, so plenty to add. https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic/2063693/gi-joe-1 .

good that they answered you, now someone can add this variant. by what you wrote, I guess 19.99 is the 'cover' price they set.
I got the attachment to open, not sure why you did it that way (didn't know I had openofficedraw), and I copied the text, so here it is, just to verify what you posted (I removed the email address):

Hey Michael!
Super legit copy you have there! Image produced them with the A Cover under the Foil cover! It should have our logo on the back, and they don't print the price on the comic because it is an exclusive to our shop alone and we set the price! Thanks for the support and YO JOE!
