Nah, nothing really terribly wrong with the description. The 2nd printing tag has always annoyed me as it implies that it was an official Warren printing. Noting that it has not been pressed is just precious IMO .

 

The description also leads a buyer to think that this beauty is just waiting to be sent into CGC for grading which I can gurantee, if CGC grades it, it will be the highest graded copy of Eerie #1

 

He aint fibbing but it is a bit misleading.

If it is the (and I'll use the term as well) 2nd printing we need to see the telltale staples and page 18 panel 5 to make sure. The 2nd printing is collectible just for its place in Warren history. The later copy jobs are worthless.

Welp, he responded to my email and Im afraid I was a little too aggressive/accusatory in my initial questions so things are off on a bad note. However Ive asked him/her to place photos of the staple/panels of the book so a buyer can determine whether this is an original counterfeit (I like that wacky term better than 2nd printing).

I'd love to own a copy of the original ashcan or the original counterfeit (& wouldnt mind shelling out for either) but there's just so much scope for fraud I wont go there. Good thread; appreciate the backstory.
