rjpb Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 The above copy has P.D.C. printed on the cover , which I believe stands for Printed in the Dominion of Canada. It also has "15 cents in Canada" printed under the 10 cent price. This is not to be confused with being a Canadian copy as all the the ads I've ever seen in a P.D.C. book are for U.S. companies - Cheslers as well as Four Stars. This isn't much different from modern comics today which are almost always printed in Canada. I don't know off-hand if there are both Canadian and domestic printings of any of these books that were both produced for the U.S. market, but it might explain differences in color. Shiverbones - 3x guide for a Good copy of Roly Poly 14 is probably as good a deal as you are going to get unless you find a dealer who is unaware of the real value of this book. I paid $200 for the VG- copy 3 years ago, which at the time was more like 6 or 7x guide. I've had my share of great deals over the years, but this wasn't one of them - but look at it this way, this book guides for barely more than #15! How much relative demand is there for the two books? My guess is that for every person looking for a #15, there has to be at least 20 looking for a #14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Thats a good point. I of course didn't expect my 2x guide bid to be knocked that far out of the park. It all went to the last few seconds and i was unprepared, i had never seen another to base my price on. I didn't know of the following this book had until afterwards and began seeing it on more and more want lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentaurMan Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Great books! Those early Fox covers can be outstanding, and are generally quite affordable in mid-grade. Fun series to collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
