Aquaman #2 (1994) - Possible Error Edition? 0

[KEY ISSUES Comics]

Hi folks,

I'm not a DC fan, nor am I fan of most comics from '89-94, so my knowledge is rather limited when it comes to this period. Can anyone help me out with this?

I picked up a copy of Aquaman #2, the one where he loses his hand, and the last page of the book (letters page) fades out towards the bottom. Anyone know if this a common defect?

Thank in advance.

my copy is the same way, just checked.

I am somewhat amused that what would have normally been called a "printing defect" is now characterized (or sought to be characterized) as an "error" edition.  No offense to the OP, but the latter characterization seeks to impart some "collectible value" to what was once just considered "sloppy" workmanship.

Checked my copy - it's the same. I guess the "error edition" may be the one that doesn't fade out to oblivion.

Hey, I'm not the one who has created these niches in the hobby. ;-) If someone wants to pay premiums for errors, recalled editions, etc, I'll gladly sell my book to them.

Better to ask and be safe rather than sorry in case it turns out to be valuable and sought after, right?

Thabks for the rapid feedback everyone.

At least that's proof you do page counts.

That was great

Some defects are more important then others in my experience.

Double Covers, foil screw ups, missing pages, missing ink all desirable defects.

Faded pages, extra staples, ink smears on inside, printer scrapes not so much.

Its usually the visual defects that a buyer wants something they can see front or back.

Ha, yeah!

It's funny, but I've seen dealers buy stacks of books of pre-80's then price them without even opening them. #NoTrust
