RockMyAmadeus Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Books were all printed at Quebecor, in Canada...(in Quebec, if that wasn't obvious.) I would assume the bags were printed there, too, but it's possible they weren't. Would make more sense if they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the defect varied by region?.... or would they all have been printed and bagged in one place? Mine were picked up in So California... Bags are marked, Printed in Canada (assuming that's just the bag?) The indica will tell you were they were printed. Most of the Big 2 are printed in Canada as far as I know.

That's what all the beeyotching is about? The Poly bag seam is much more bothersome to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you tell when it is a 1st print versus a second print (besides the sealed bag)? I am going through all of my old comics and cataloging them. DC comics are easy since 2nd, 3rd, etc. prints have the Roman Numerals on the front. I can't figure out how to tell with Marvel comics. The newer ones have the bar code with the 5-digit code that shows what print they are but pre-circa-1993 Marvel comics do not have this. 2. I have 5 sealed 1st print; one with each card. I know they are legit because I am the one who bought them from the comic store back in 1991. Funny thing is that I remember buying them because they were in the bargain bin (which is why I bought 5 copies). I remember picking up a bunch of sealed comics I had never heard of with cards, posters, etc. thinking they may be worth something someday (Blood Syndicate, Hardware, Ghost Rider, and The Amazing Spider-man Annual #27). I remember leaving the store and feeling kind of stupid for buying comics I had never heard of just because they were cheap! They have been sitting in a box since I bought them. 2a. What is the best way to sell them? I appreciate any insight. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your bagged x-force with cards are the 1st prints id hate to say but unless they grade 9.8 than the market for them is pretty bad best way to sell is on eBay/amazon but don't expect to get much best a&l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
