Sometimes you see a mistake on E-bay that provides a special “teaching moment”, a mistake too good to pass up.

While searching for some key books I came across a Star Wars #1, 35 cent variant. One of the high priced keys of the Bronze Age.

At first glance all looks good. Take a look at the cover scan:

But then the seller does something I recommend you never do. Remember, condition is everything!

Don’t spread your copy of Star Wars #1 like this!

Live and learn!
