Matewan,
I'm sorry if you got the sense that I was saying this was a scam. From your posts,no-one can tell if you are a newbie,a shill pulling a scam or an Overstreet advisor.
To me,it looked sundrenched. Others have stated its not. Case closed.
However,I can't see how this printing error can be considered a variant.I own several multiple cover books and books with siamese pages.While they are of interest and might sell for a premium,I don't see them as variants. This,to me,falls into the same type of thing.
If you decide to sell it,good luck. I'm sure someone will buy it.
BTW- I own several dozen Turtles books that were printed minus the cover colors. I hope this becomes the next big thing collectors go after.

I'd be more apt to call this a production error and NOT a variant.
The key is that this is, indeed, a printer error. Printer errors are recognized by Overstreet and in their grading guide and this should fall into that category.
Otherwise, are we going to call a very bad miswrap a variant? A very badly cut copy a variant? A book produced with one insetad of two staples a variant?
There may be collector's willing to pay good money for such as the missing cyan book, but it simply is not a variant. It is a printer error.

If there are one or two,its a printers error,but suppose 5% of the printrun was such?

Yes, Matewan=Michael. I'm Michael Browning, longtime comic collector and Overstreet advisor, Michael Browning. I'm originally from Matewan (home of the Hatfield-McCoy Feud) here in the southern West Virginia coalfields. That's the origin of my screenname.
I appreciate everyone's help with this issue.
I am not putting the book up for sale at this time. It'll stay in my collection for the time being.
I wanted everyone's input before I submit my information to next year's Guide.
The reason I called it a variant is because it is different than the regular cover. I wasn't meaning it is a variant in the sense of today's variants, only in the sense that it is a variation of the regular cover, albeit unintentional. Don't worry, I'll call it a printer's error when I submit my info to Overstreet.
Again, I do appreciate all the input.
