Here's my copy. It has all the "second" print points.

See the Eerie on the back has heavy set ink.

And the tell tale blue stripe on the staple.

In many ways the blue staple counterfeit is so important now to the history of this book it’s a badge of honor to own one. It’s not an exact copy but an original copy done “in-house” with its own original markings that separate it from any copy or replica that followed.

So though it’s not a true second printing since there wasn’t one but it’s as close as you could get. It’s also old itself now appearing about only a decade after the original. 
 

I tip my hat to you for helping me get a “blue” copy back in my collection from the boards...

Solarboy I'm thinking you have an original one, just tough to tell in pictures.  In hand would be easier,  so just send it to me and I will inspect it and send you a copy...... oops! I mean send you YOU'RE copy. Whew.......😉

I'm happy to hear you confirm this---thank you.

Yes, I'm sure I've seen this version before...not the original.
