"Next is the new SOTI variant that came back in this CGC batch. \n  \n\nIt turns out that there are two variations of Hopalong Cassidy and the Mad Barber.  There's a 16 page version and a 24 page version.   \n  \n\nI feel the need to clarify what I mean by pages, because it appears that CGC and I use the term differently.  For illustration purposes, let's discuss for a moment the centerfold of a comic book.  That centerfold is made up of one SHEET of paper.  Each page of paper you can turn is known as a LEAF (at least, that seems to be what they call it in the collectible book world).  Each LEAF has two numbered faces that can be read, and those are known as PAGES.  If you were to rip the centerfold out of a book, you could describe what you're holding in your hands as one sheet, or two leaves, or four pages.  \n  \n\nIn the comic book world, a page count has typically meant pages in this sense.  If a book has 52 pages, then there are 48 numbered pages in the book plus the cover.   \n  \n\nI sent to CGC a book with a page count that I would call 16 pages.  It came back with a blue label and an indication that it has 8 pages, so they seem to use the term \"pages\" to mean \"leaves\".  Does CGC have a new way of counting pages, or did CGC just make a mistake on this one?  They labeled this an 8-page variant.  I would call it a 16-page version.  And I'd hesitate to call it \"variant\", because I suspect (but can't prove) that the 24-page version is the less common one. \n  \n\nSome copies of this book have 16 pages, while others have 24 pages.  The 24-page versions have \"scrap book\" pages that the 16-page versions do not.  See pictures below of the 16 and 24 page versions side-by-side.  I'm confident (as is CGC) that the 16-page version is not just the 24-page version with some pages ripped out. I'm trying to determine which is the more common version.  If you have a copy of Hopalong and the Mad Barber, I'd love to know how many pages it has. \n  \n\nHopalong 9.2 8 page variant \n\n \n  \n\nHopalong 9.2 Variant Label \n\n \n  \n  \n\nHopalong Interior 1 \n\n \n  \n  \n\nHopalong Interior 2 \n\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  "
