Swifty Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Just received a copy of EDDIE GARRIGAN - I WISH I WAS - FONTANA off ebay and am pretty sure it's an original but need confirmation. It's Styrene , Pale Blue label with Black text but it doesn't have the 2 Stars either side of the title as on most of the copies I've seen in the past and googled but I would have thought they would only appear on the White demo? It also has a handstamped 'Promotional copy not for sale' on the 'Mail Call' side. It's Mint in a Fontana sleeve If it is an original what would be the going rate Cheers Swifty p.s. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea . mine neither but took a chance on it as you do
