Uncanny 317

[Mayor006]

For the $5 I spent on one last week, I'll put it with the pile of other comics and see what happens. Right now it's not pricing much more than a modern comic at most LCS locations so pick it up if someone else hasn't already.

I only see one for $1 (and its at auction) and 37 total. Am I looking them up incorrectly ?

[slym2none]

Maybe they have all been snatched up.

ahhhh, oh well. that would have been clutch.

 

Although can't complain about $3 right now !

 

 

[slym2none]

I see no seller has multiples, either... damned shipping!

HAHAHAHAHHA I bought them all from a guy about four hours from me he had about 20 !

 

2.49 each, but had to pay 8% CA sale tax

I had picked up a few recently for $1 each, now wondering if Joeypost can press holofoil covers.

Anyone know the deal with the red stripe vs. the foil stripe? It doesn't appear to be a 2nd print nor newsstand copy, but I only see 1 for every 20 or so foil covers.

 

I believe the red stripe denotes it is a 2nd print. There are other comics with the red stripe.

 

It's not a second printing. It is simply a standard version of the issue that retailed for $1.00 less.

Don't do it!

hahaha i thought that was the middle finger .....

[slym2none]

He is right - leave it to those who know how. If anything you can try putting lots, and I mean LOTS of weight down on it for a LONG time, but the heat and bit of moisture that a "proper" pressing adds makes things go easier. Send the to Joey... if he can do that to holofoil. I need to ask.

I once got about 3/4 of the spine roll out of an old comic simply by putting it under some heavy boxes for a month or so. it was unpresentable before and then looked pretty decent.
