And the color xerox cover attached to the comic isn't from a real Superman #1 its from one of the reprints.

I don't recall exactly where I read about this seller, but somebody speculated that this may be Danny Dupcak's account. Beware.

Oh geez! Is that guy still around? I thought he'd been pretty much exposed.

Caveat emptor - any CGC comic for sale on eBay that requires an explanation beyond two sentences and uses two font colors (thumbs u

[thehumantorch]

To be fair, the seller does seem to know little about comics and appears to be doing his best to describe the comic and respond to questions. He has added quite a few pictures so it appears he has the comic in hand. When in doubt I like to ask the seller for specific additional pictures to determine if he has the comic and to see if he is responsive to e-mails. His feedback is a little spotty tho.

The auction certainly doesn't have the feel a Dupcak auction, but he is certainly selling on Ebay.

I have delt with Danny D. on ebay before (of course the books came back restored from CGC). I don't remember his ebay tag any longer, but I know that the auction I purchased his books from was not under this ebay ID.

 

Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean anything when talking about shill bids, but I do recall that he refunded my $ when the books came back restored.

Danny D. is likely robojo33 on Ebay
