Black cover and all ?? Took me a very long time, Foggy. It’s one of those mags that nobody viewed as collectible so virtually no one saved them in nice shape.

There is still hope for him unless he cracks that out and reads it. 🙂 Although it probably makes more sense for him to spend $5-10 and just get a raw reader copy. That book is very affordable in non-nosebleed grades, considering how cool it is. I’ve got six, ranging from VF+ to fugly. oakman29 and Randall Dowling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chevalmeow Posted February 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) As I have mentioned before, I am a hoarder and can't help to buy books that I already own. I got this off of feebay because it was in really great shape compared to others that I have seen. It was also for a reasonable lower cost given this condition. This copy is in great VF condition (I think) as it has a slight scuffing/bump and small scratch at the bottom edge of the spine and also at the top right corner of the front cover.

Popular Post shiverbones Posted February 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2020 So glad I was able to grab a few skywalds From @stevemmg, but these two.... just over the moon about!!!! i work at home nearly every day, but spend 10 hours a week checking in collections at my lcs, and today I wasn’t home, and it was raining all day. Because of his excellent packing, double boxed with bubble wrap, they arrived perfectly even though the outer box was soaked through.

Finding a Dracula book 1 in nice shape is an awesome grab. The pages tend to separate from the spine due to the glue not adhering.

I’ve gotten far too many damaged books over the years, so that’s lead me to the current methods. Must be thousands of comics and mags wrecked every year. Enjoy! On another note, went and looked at about 800 mags yesterday. Came home with about 100, 30 of which are more Skywalds. Hah! My not having any Skywald duplicates lasted a whole two days.

N e r V Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Not to ignite the debate on how difficult it is to determine a first print of said book but this caught my eye on Clink. Now I ask you have you ever read a more candid and completely unreassuring listing in your life? I guess I can give them points in honesty but seriously WTF? EERIE ASHCAN #1, 9.2 NM- - AUCTION BEGINS SOON 1965, Warren Publishing; Jack Davis cover Starts At: $1 Number Of Bids: 0 Publisher: Warren Publishing Page Quality: White Pages Auction Start Date: 2/13/2020 8:00:00 PM ComicLink Comments: Offered here is a sharp example of Warren's Eerie #1 "Ashcan" printing. More of a pamphlet then a comic magazine, Warren Publishing produced this 5 1/4" x 7 1/4" book quickly to earn the rights to the name for its new magazine, Eerie . Because of its cheap printing format, at least 2 unauthorized editions are known to exist. Authenticating this comic has uncertainties and we cannot say with 100% certainty if this is the actual 1st Printing. ComicLink has assigned a grade of Near Mint 9.2, and it has White Pages. Yeah, I’ll bid a buck on it with that kind of confidence... Edited February 7, 2020 by N e r V ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
