Have a great weekend

Just posting a link to my eBay page. I have a bunch of Silver and Bronze Age Batman books up for sale, including first appearances of Poison Ivy, Silver Age Riddler, Betty Kane, and Barbara Gordon.

I also have a bunch of new slabs, from a CGC 9.8 Walking Dead 1 to a CGC graded set of Infinity Gauntlet books.

Let me know through PM if you're interested in making a purchase through the boards instead of eBay. Have a great day!

Hey,

Just wanted to post a link to my eBay store. I recently acquired a collection of gold, silver, and bronze age Batman books. They're lower grade. I'm listing them on my eBay store. If you want to make a better deal through the CGC boards instead for any issues, please let me know. Have a great day!

@Jaydogrules $3000 for the pair. And yes, they were both fakes. Same seller tried to scam someone else in the CBSI Google+ group. He devoted part of his podcast to it this week. I spoke with him on Google Hangouts and it is indeed the same person.

@Bomber-Bob @Jaydogrules Here are some pics of the books in question. There's damage at the staples like someone forcibly tried to affix a new cover to an existing book. There's just too much "bounce" in the spines when the books are lying flat. And I've provided a picture of the one book on top of an actual modern comic. The sizing is off. The paper itself isn't as smooth as normal comic book paper. But it's not your average counterfeit by any means. There was work put into this. 

@JaydogrulesI will post some pics after work today.

@Bomber-Bob He approached me after he saw my WTB post about having capital to invest in books for grading. Again, this one is totally on me. I protected myself through PayPal invoicing, but there was definitely more I could do to be a smarter consumer. I will post pics of the fake books in question later tonight.

@ADAMANTIUMYeah. I went through PayPal invoice on everything, which is what saved me in the end. I'm lucky. Very lucky. It's a lesson learned to be sure, even to someone who has been around comics a lot. I saw dollar signs and that trumped everything else. 

Hey, just to let everyone here and throughout the CGC forums know: this book is in no way the real deal. This user in particular tried to scam me out of quite a bit of money. I can provide pictures to confirm that the book in question is a fake. If you are approached about this book, BUYER BEWARE. 

Good shot at a 7.5 with a press.

Is that guy still around trying to sell his xerox AF15 copy? 

Haha I guess so. I didn't realize there was "that guy"

Nevermind. It was the margins. Figured it out.

Hey, everyone,

I'm assuming that this is a facsimile reprint of Amazing Fantasy 15. Someone with no history on the boards tried selling it to me yesterday.

My question: in terms of these facsimile reprints, what should I be looking for in terms of identifying markers of an actual copy? Obviously, on this particular one, there's no way that the pages would be as bright as they are.

I'd say it's in the 8.5 to 9.2 range at the highest. I don't believe that CGC counts production errors in even the highest grades. I have a first Power Girl appearance that graded out as a 9.8 despite a common production error on the back cover. Same with a few copies of Avenging Spider Man 9. Production errors didn't keep either book from hitting 9.6. Just as a few examples. Nice looking book!!!

I'm in agreement with the guys before me. 9.0 at the highest probably.

In terms of selling, you could consign it to one of the larger auction houses (something like Comic Link), you could sell on eBay, or you could sell through the boards. Do thorough research before deciding on any course. I've attached a screen shot of the realized prices ON EBAY for a CGC 3.0 from the last two years, so you can see what you're dealing with in terms of valuation should it come back at the grade that the board members are guessing it will. Overall, though, this is a once-in-a-lifetime find for anyone, not just a comic collector, so unless you need the money right this second, you might consider holding the book to see if it accrues further in value. As you can see from the chart of prices for just a 3.0, this is a book that continues to increase in both price and demand at an incredible rate. 

Congratulations!!!!  

5.0 at the highest. 

With the stains on the back cover, I'd assume 5.0-6.0 range. No higher. Nice book on the front side though!
