Title: Print Mint archives ripped off?
Post by: 50Cent #II (1st print) on June 03, 2008, 10:37:09 PM
Anyone heard about this?

"Unfortunately the archive of Print Mint proprietor Peggy Rita was recently stolen from a building in Berkeley, California.  The archive included comix, concert posters, artwork, personal memorabilia and production material from the operation.  The material has turned up at flea markets, Ebay, craigslist, etc.  Much of it is still missing including many valuable posters, a large underground comix collection, and more."  If you have any info. please contact Mrs. Rita...

Man, what an awful shame. And apparently the stolen goods are already surfacing on eBay and craigslist? Wouldn't it be simple to track down the sellers if that was the case? Ebay does not support auctioning stolen goods in ANY way, shape or form, I can assure you of that.

Between this and the "Bayview (CA) warehouse-fire that burned 17 years of accumulated comix" of the Rip Off Press there sure is a lot of file copies that won't ever be seen...  By the way, anyone know when this fire took place?  I'm assuming around 1986.
