Scrooge Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 While all eyes were on CLink's auction last week, I won a pleasant trio of books on eBay - I am actually considering having this one pressed by Kenny. Don't you guys agree this should be easily pressed into a much more attractive copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 More Zolnerowich goodness. It's not until I had the book in hand that I really noticed the guy at bottom left pulled her leg - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 and finally to finish this 20 - 21 - 22 short run, a # 22 gotten for cheap thanks to the chip (even though otherwise, it's structurally much sounder than the # 21, my kind of book ) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttock Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I am actually considering having this one pressed by Kenny. Don't you guys agree this should be easily pressed into a much more attractive copy? I'd be reluctant to. FH isn't known for good paper and that's a lot of spine roll to "fix". I think you run a pretty good risk of splitting the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you run a pretty good risk of splitting the interior. Thanks for the info. I'm not trying to increase value here but want to "experience" having a book pressed. I'll probably bring the book to Chicago Con and have Kenny look it over there to see what he thinks. I'll check the paper at the spine but it's better than most FH I have. My copy of Fight 46 IIRC is as you describe: the complete book is splitting in half at the spine. This is not the case of this copy of # 20. We'll see.

Not sure if Kenny will be able to make Chicago this year, Michael. I'm pretty sure he said so in a post. Greta is due in May, which may preclude Kenny from attending.

Paratrooper Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) and finally to finish this 20 - 21 - 22 short run, a # 22 gotten for cheap thanks to the chip (even though otherwise, it's structurally much sounder than the # 21, my kind of book ) - Nice Run! just so happens that run are all Trooper covers.....plan on collecting a certain genre are you? FYI, issue #19 starts the trooper run in Fight Comics...you should make your short run include that issue. Hell, it's also the first appearance of Rip Carson and Seniorita Rio.
