For Sale: Uncut Sheet of Comic Book Auction CLOSED !!

[nochips]

The opening bid is $10.00 BIN PRICE IS $1000.00

 

This is the last one I have. Uncut and from the former World Color printing headquarters in Sparta, IL; I bought ten of these back in 1989 from a retired employee. If you never knew how comics were made take a look at this uncut sheet of covers. Condition is VF or better. Shipping is $10.00 in the USA, $20.00 most everywhere else. This needs to be shipped in a tube. It's a cool piece of comic history that I have had long enough. Time to pass it on....

 

Auction closes at 6PM 9 PM Central time May 31, 2010 (Monday) night. Bid away!

Are there more backs than fronts?

[nochips]

Nope, it's an optical illusion.

 

Each cover has a front and back and advertising on the insides. It may appear that there are missing or extra images.

[Peter Loves Gwen]

Interesting, how wide is that, how many books tall is it? Very cool.

[nochips]

Three comics tall, that's about 36 inches. It is 3 comics wide, they are about 8 1/2 across, front and back, so about 17 inches per cover width wise... basically 51 inches across.

The House of Mystery comic has the Superman and TSR ads on it's insides.....I shot a picture of both sides, you have to mentally flip it over to see what goes where....

[Comicdey]

so it's printed on both sides, right

[nochips]

so it's printed on both sides, right

 

Yes, they would run nine comics on a page/sheet and then they are cut and assembled by machine. I am not a printing expert, I have some friends that are in the business. It really is amazing to watch the finished product come off the line.

 

I am sure one of our board members can explain hows it's done!
