J X + x: [not] “finally”

Thanks for your help;   I just saw The Census, but ...    there is no second line    in the Set Score Details, and    the points value is the same.    Is this version, of this book,    worth MORE points?    How ‘scarce’...    are these,    in comparison,    to the rest of the printrun?    Isn’t this book,    more desirable than any of   the.. ‘regulars’?    Again, thank you for your attent

The difference between Fish Police #1, and Fish Police #1

comic-insider/enthusiasts,  ...The difference   between   Fish Police #1,   and   Fish Police #1 is..  that    the first state,   of the First Printing ..    (.., apparently, for .. a couple of thousand copies, according to STEVE MONCUSE, himself.  I asked and HE told ME, THEN, in the 80s.  He worked at Comics & Comix, on Telegraph Ave., in Berkeley, at the time, and I was there 4.5 times a week.)    HA

J. x: The Difference .. between 2..

{... finally captured these ifcs, with this iP.}    So, I figured I would tip-off The CGCCS.  These two 2. (i.e., Two) comic books, by S. Clay Wilson, publ. by Keith Green, in 1975-6, have identifiers, namely price, that determine .. “State”.   I mean first state, compared to first printing.  Two States are:   1) printed .75 cent cvr. price, ifc.    2) printed, corrected/written-over, hand-written, “$1” price, ifc.   ... more on these later.  Good Luck,
