Wham! comic 'preview' copy for sale

The other day (here) about a 'preview' copy of the original Eagle magazine...I've now spotted something similar on ebay.

So here is a link for a preview issue of Wham! comic...





The seller notes that... 

This is what we assume to be the test pressing of Wham comic #1.
The comic is in high grade, bright pages, no writing. Stunning full undamaged spine.
On the back page outer edge, there are two little edge rips. See pics. Otherwise no other defects.

This does not appear to be an overseas issue as the cover price of 6d is present and the copyright details on the cover state - Odhams Press Ltd. England 1964.

It is assumed this may have been a limited print run to test the colours and to give out to kids as an audience test before committing to the full ran, hence no cover price or date is present on the cover.

The cover has no issue number or date, usually found on normal issues. Also within there are some blank pages where we assume there would be advert pages. Of course the main stories are there it is not just a cover and blank contents.

Bidding ends on 10th October at about 4:15pm (UK time)

Here's a copy of the 'usual' copy of Wham! #1 - complete with issue number and date
