Here's something that arrived recently. Cover is correct on the outside, but printed upside down on the inside.

 

someone was smokin' on the job.

Back In July I bought a copy of Air Pirates #1 as a 8.0 VF well I got the book back from CGC and it Came back as a CGC 7.5 Blue with Cream-OW pages. There is no listing of this book in OSPG so I was curious if anyone could give me an estimated value. I will need a estimated value for insurance on my collection

 

thanks

Trey

Air Pirates Funnies

01 c=50 2.0-20 6.0-60 9.4-100

[Trey Cannon]

no value for a 8.0 eh

I answered you in the Bronze section, but prices are low in the F U G for Air Pirates, 9.6's have been getting much higher than guide. I'd say for insurance, $100-150.

A friend found this for me at a vinyl shop. Larry Welz did a Cherry Poptart cover for a 45 by the MonoMen. Sweet!

 

Pssst.. There's one on ebay right now with a cheap BIN.

 

 

2 versions?? now I want the blue one!!

 

 

Jason, do you have the one in this post that is NOT blue?

[Ringfinger]

Nice.

Here are a couple that I picked up last week. Both are said to be first prints (almost certain the WW #1 is, still not sure about the SFC #2). The SFC #2 is about a 9.4/9.6 and the WW #1 is a 9.6 with an outside shot at 9.8.

There were five printings of the San Francisco Comic #2, but since they are all exactly the same, they are all considered first prints in the underground comix collecting community. I assume you probably bought these from Don Donahue (apexnovelties) as these are books he regularly lists on eBay.

Yes, that's exactly right. Good experience, seemed to be a straight seller.

Nice copies there.

Took me long enough to find this thread buried under "mags".

 

Highly recommend the 2009 hardcover book UG Classics: the Transformation of Comics into Comix. It is loaded with pg. after pg. of original UG art plus a few comix cover scans. Several intros offering different regional viewpoints on the secret origin of the UG movement by Denis Kitchen, James Danky. Pat Rosenkraantz from OR, USA was good enough to mention Canadian UG artists too. Retails for $30 US.

Thanks, I'll be picking up a copy eventually. Rosenkranz is a great guy and a very knowledgeable fellow.
