    Is the question more "Have you ever bought a second printing?" or more specifically "Have you ever bought a second printing IN ADDITION TO a first printing?"
    I've bought some second printings if that was what was available or if I preferred the second printing cover to a first printing and I hadn't already bought the first printing. But I can't think of a time where I bought both the 2nd printing of a book I already had a 1rst printing copy.

    To clarify, I was just asking if you ever bought a second printing, period.

    Probably. I used to often mean to pick up an issue, delay, and see that the 2nd printing is out. Can't think of a specific instance though, the ones I can think of have worse covers the 2nd time around.

    short answer: yes

    long answer: yes, sir.
    Comics were definitely happier, breezier and more confident in their own strengths before Hollywood and the Internet turned the business of writing superhero stories into the production of low budget storyboards or, worse, into conformist, fruitless attempts to impress or entertain a small group of people who appear to hate comics and their creators. -- Grant Morrison, 2008

    no but seriously, I do semi-frequently. Though it's pretty much just indies I don't really care to pay 4x more to get it online. Just recently I got Arcadia #1 2nd print at an LCS after all 5~7 of my LCS's didn't have the 1st print, and i was waiting for 4~5 months or so?

    you presume everyone or every collector reads the same way. They don't.
