O'Barr's "The Crow" love

Bought this raw with the intention of getting it into a slab.... book looks real clean, a few minor barely noticeable creasing on back or front cover that can only be seen when angling to the light. A problematic corner ding that doesn't show up in the scan....

Gosh darn if I have ever seeen a book that appeared more fragile and prone to damage. The paper seems real thin and that cover screams for fingerprints and the ability to show the smallest of creases.... I was afraid just scanning the thing... :screwy:

You know my thoughts. A professional press could do wonders for this book.

 

Totally agree, but pressing is something I'm not necessarily against but have some issues with... (shrug)

 

Maybe.... I'll give it a shot and see what the free graders notes say... :insane:

Uhhhh - about those free graders' notes. We should talk.

 

Got a $5 spot for an old alter boy, father?

It is always super when someone mails you a comic book gift that they know you can really appreciate.

It is even better when they include their own original artwork, making you into the next comic book hero.

Does anyone know what the print runs were on the 2nd prints and 3rd prints of #1-3 (shrug)

 

I'm surprised after looking on the bay a bit that I see more 1st prints than the 2nd or 3rd printings...

 

Are the 2nd's and 3rd's still coveted anywhere near the 1st's?
