So having absolutely no self control I dished out and got the printer error orange red Sonja 1

I have seen these on ebay and other places and always wondered how many were done before the fellows at the press got back from coffee and noticed the ink mixture was wrong ?

Needs a pressing on back and with a couple spine ticks looks a nice 9.0-9.2 to me

===========

So here is the scan -- the orange got corrected by my scanner for some reason -Go figure its a lot more orange )

I have not heard of this error/misprint.

Can you describe it in more detail?

I watch the red Sonja sales on # 1 a lot and I think I mentioned it in earlier pages or to wizard that a few VF #1 are orange tint instead of red

It has to be some kind of ink error at the printers

Have not seen it on the Pence

So it is clamed they printed the pence versions first -- so it must of happened in the main print run

In those days the presses were a lot more mechanical and the fellows running them didn't have computers so my guess is they went for lunch came back and the ink wasn't right But who gives a they let those issues go in the boxes ?

___________

So 100% guess on my part but I know they exist because I have one :)

OMG red Sonja 9.9

the first ever must be s cgc resubmit

comic connect auction

No way that should be a 9.9 with that off center upper staple visible on the back cover. Just my opinion. Fetched a nice price though.

$558 -- > we will see dozens of CGC red Sonja books going that way

I would be more concerned about the top corner crunch. If that is not SCS, it reflects very poorly on the grader.
