Reading Tom Breevort's article: Jim Salicrup confirmed the cover mock up's legitimacy.  'Nuff said! Or is he a liar involved in this grand conspiracy,  junior sleuths?

When Todd Klein, Tom Orzechowski and other letterists spoke I listened. As I wrote earlier, a latter day attempt at an unused version of the cover would've gotten everything correct in regard to covers that were printed, and that this one doesn't seems more likely to say that it is genuine and not something concocted later to deceive.

I was just looking at Star Lord Special Edition #1 and Justice League #200 of the early '80s and they both have creators' credits on the cover.

Who is talking about a grand conspiracy, Matt?

When the initial news came out with little detail, some of us here expressed some suspicions that it might be fake. As more information dripped out (increasingly credible), those suspicions faded, particularly when Marc and Brian mentioned in the previous page about Brevoort and Salicrup.

Subsequent to that information, we have a discussion about quirks in the piece that raise some questions. I don't think anyone at any point talked about anyone having conspired with anyone.

Naturally, #137 is an issue in which many here have a keen interest.  Confirmation that the piece is genuine is hardly a case of "Nuff said". On the contrary, a revelation that this heretofore unknown item exists  is naturally a springing board for further questions.

Brevoort surmises that it was either Jim Salicrup or Weezie that made the decision to go with a new version. I, for one, would be interested to hear what their reminscences are regarding this piece.
