Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide First Edition 2nd Printing Signed Proof 1970

Description: Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide First Edition 2nd Printing Signed Proof 1970 Rare, unique collectable. This is a printer's proof cover for the second print of the first Overstreet Price Guide from 1970. Is a relatively heavy stock paper, folded, 8.5" x 5.5", and has the the production images for the front cover, acknowledgements (interior of front cover), and back cover. Scarce item - only seeing one other example of this, a listing on Heritage, sold in 2022 for $372 (screenshot of that example is the last picture included in this listing). FWIW, looking at signature placement and defects I do not believe the Heritage example is the one I have listed for sale. This proof was signed by Bob Overstreet himself. The signature is not authenticated; however this was purchased as a legit signed copy from a reputable dealer. Additionally, you can compare the signature to the Heritage example (see last pic included) or any other Overstreet signed item - I think you'll agree that it is indeed a legit sig. Below is the description of the of the item from the listing of that Heritage example: The Comic Book Price Guide First Edition (Second Blue Printing) Signed Cover Proof (Robert M. Overstreet, 1970). When the first edition (white cover) of the price guide was printed, Robert Overstreet was not happy with the quality of the books and he consequently switched to the blue cover (5.5" x 8.5" - the printer's proof copy of which is offered here) for the second printing. The proof is signed by Mr. Overstreet in the top left..... A piece of comic book history! Not listed in Overstreet. The copy for sale here is very nice - lays flat, sharp cornets, no rips / tears / unsightly stains. On the back cover, at / parallel to the spine there is some fading. Otherwise, nothing of note in terms of defects. Feel free to ask any questions. Shipping via priority USPS, packed to protect in a bag/ board / mailer.
