Dave2739 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Really enjoying this topic gentlemen. Thanks @oakman29 @SOLAR BOY @N e r V for the education. I saw an alleged Eerie 1 ashcan that a local dealer had here in SC around 7 or 8 years ago. Wish I had that 63 point checklist back then The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakman29 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Here's my copy. It has all the "second" print points. See the Eerie on the back has heavy set ink. And the tell tale blue stripe on the staple. Dave2739 and SOLAR BOY 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not an exact copy but an original copy done “in-house” with its own original markings that separate it from any copy or replica that followed. So though it’s not a true second printing since there wasn’t one but it’s as close as you could get. It’s also old itself now appearing about only a decade after the original. I tip my hat to you for helping me get a “blue” copy back in my collection from the boards... oakman29, SOLAR BOY and The Lions Den 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
