The Absolute Hardest to Find 80's books. 9 9

[Bronty]

of course they were done on purpose. expressly for the nyc con.

 

that doesn't mean the coloring might not have been an error.

 

say they are sold out of regular #3s and want to bring some to the convention. they get another 500 made for the con, on which the coloring is botched

 

you're right in that asking the source would clear this up!

[Bronty]

the way I look at it is if that was a special variant done for the con, where they chose to do the coloring that way.... that's a pretty darn lame variant they chose to do!

[JohnnyDeLicious]

Lamer doesn't necessarily mean undesired (Cry for Dawn #3 Chiller variant anyone? Or was that Horrorcon? Whatever.). (I do agree, it's a crappy variant, but the Dawn is just plain ugly.)

Aren't the NYCC #3's signed too?

I'm not disputing that they could have been some type of error, that were later used. I'm just saying I don't *believe* they are. I believe that they were intentional from the start, with no error at any point of their genesis. Someone call up Peter Laird, he'd know.

wouldn't a batch of 500, printed after the fact, for a Con, make it a second print? or did they just tack another 500 on at the end of the first print.

no

Ok. Here's what I've found so far this week....

[Bosco685]

Way to go, Chuck!

Good week

[fastballspecial]

This is not really the hardest to find, but I always thought a 1st print set of From Hell was a darn tough set to put together took me quite a long time. Just at the end of Copper though.

I used to have at least 20-25 or so nice copies of that Albedo 3. I paid for a lot of chinese and sushi delivery hitting "re-list" on my ebay auctions after each one sold.

Okay, so since the idea has been floated that none of the Star Comics line deserves to be even mentioned in this thread, who has a high grade run of all the Star titles?

 

I was going my Star books this weekend, finally sorting and itemizing everything I've picked up over the last year or so, I realized how quite a few were really the only copies I've run across in the several years I've been collecting (and getting a true "NM" copy was a true exception to the rule).

 

 

btw, if there isn't one already - we do need a Star Comics collecting thread

[DJB]

no

 

true, not all were but some. Theres one on ebay right now for a Buy it Now of $399. I know he will take $300 personally, which is an average price for this book. If anyone buys it, tell him Don sent you!

I did a search for "Star" going back four years in the Copper Forum...nada....

 

So, I guess that means we're free to start one.

that's your cue, Gaute...

I also have two of the four amythest variants (there are both direct and newsstand 35 cent variants)

 

I saw a Amethyst 35 cent variant at the Steel City show this past weekend. It wasn't for sale.

What about Journey?

[JohnnyDeLicious]

Is there a non-aardvark Journey that's tough to find?
