Got this book in today;

Picked it up off a guy on eBay, who actually recently had a thread dedicated to his messages. I had a fairly routine transaction with him and am glad to have this nice edition of Rogues first appearance in the X-men pages.

[…] For instance vaillant has talked about how the adhesive stickers that were placed in many Italian books very often were separated from the books they came in. This means in Italy at least any book with adhesive stickers is more desirable for collectors there.

 

I wish to add this for the italian editions: stickers and posters are hardly found in issues (especially the Corno ones, since even Star Comics occasionally put in stickers, but they were polybagged with the comic, and… ugly).

This means there are certain issues which are *very* rare if still with stickers/posters and in high grade. For example, if an early Uomo Ragno Corno in high-grade may cost about 30-60 USD, with stickers it can go for 150-500 USD. :screwy:

There is in fact a Black Cat Italian edition, which I am still looking for! Will post a pic later.

 

I have the Italian Hobgoblin, apparently it's hard to find over there! Got mine courtesy of lscomics.

An in return I got a French Heritage ASM 252. I'm always happy to work out a trade. (thumbs u
