Popular Post OtherEric Posted December 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2022 Three in today. I discovered my Vampi 99 was missing pages when I went to read it, my bad for not checking carefully when I first got it. The other two are so I don't fall behind on the reading club... I'm good through mid-April now, but those two issues are the first two for next year and they're scarcer than the surrounding issues for some reason. The Creepy #19 is actually in better shape than I expected... that's just color rub on the cover, not mold or a stain. It was a desperation grab to not get behind on the reading club, but it's not in the "I'm throwing it away once I do my club entry" pile I expected it to be in from the picture. Still going to keep my eyes open for an upgrade, though! Morganmi, Artifiction, oakman29 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Elf Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Yeah, EERIE #13 was a tough upgrade for me too; everyone seems to want $40 for copies as nice as the one you found. That CREEPY #19 tho... OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That CREEPY #19 tho... Closer to $24 with tax and shipping for the Eerie, patience did pay off somewhat even if it did get to the crunch time. Yeah, that Creepy is pretty dire, but like I said it was hitting crunch time. But the next better one was almost double and would ship from Canada, so no idea if it would arrive on time. And past that you've got people asking $40 and up for copies that just aren't that great a shape either. I really do think there was some brief distribution glitch on these two issues, they're just not as common as the books around them.

I would think it would be hard to scan a slab, since the scanner would be focused on whatever is directly on top of the glass--i.e., the front edge of the slab--rather than an eighth to a quarter of an inch behind it (where the actual front of the book is). batmiesta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jayman Posted December 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2022 My method. I like to scan at 400 dpi. Once scanned in I open in photoshop to crop my mag slabs to roughly 13.5x15 downsampled to 300 dpi and save it. I then resample that down to 72 dpi and save it in another folder as a low-res copy. like to keep a hi-res and a low-res set of scans of each book. The low-res copies are what I use to post here on the boards. I use photoshop but there are other editing tools you can use to crop, rotate, etc. This is 13.5x15 @ 72 dpi. chevalmeow, Makmorn, grendelbo and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
