Let me jump all over this bargain

What's not to like about this auction?

[BroccoliDiesel]

Either he really thinks it is worth that much or he is hoping a complete doofus with a bunch of money comes along. Awesome pics of his moms kitchen though..

"Laminated on wood"

[KryptoSpidey]

and not evan a real #1 cover.

Just when you thought you've seen everything,another dumbarse comes around that is just so much better than the last.

[ivegotneatstuff]

what issue IS that though? What issue is that copyright N P P I from ?

[Duffman_Comics]

Pretty sure it's a Famous First Editions. .

 

Seems to have all the markers, size seems about right (in the hands) and gives the fraudster plausible deniability as it is indeed more than 30 years old.

 

Vendor is also selling Florida land. Wonder how "wet" that is?

 

Edit: I just had a closer look at the FFE and can't see the NPP copyright line.

Now, unsurprisingly, I'm clueless.

"The high bidder must pay in cash. You must have a paypal account. A $2,000 non-refundable deposit is required immediately after the auction closes by using paypal. "

 

Would this be a violation of eBay policy, or is he covered by stating that the deposit be paid via Paypal?

and not evan a real #1 cover.

 

Thats what I thought. The size seems right for a Famous First Edition. I like the way he hides his Rat-Fink face behind the book. Wish I lived in Florida. I'd like to see if he would meet in person.

By all means, jump all over it....and the seller....in your golf shoes,

[Mark 1]

Just what i've been looking for! Who needs CGC slabs. Just laminate the covers on wood! What a genius idea!

In my role as talent scout for an international hand modeling agency I have never seen anyone with this much talent, this much raw ability.

 

I saw him first, the rest of you stay away. He's going to be a Star!!!!!

 

 

I just hope he's careful with them..until I can get them insured.

 

[Arcade]

Sure enough, when I "Goggled" it, one of those sold for a lot of money.

[Sal]

I don't think this guy is so much a scam artist as he is stupid. Or ignorant. Based on the auction text, it could be reasonably surmised that he actually believes his laminated-on-wood repro cover could be worth something

[James Howlett]

I reported him for requiring cash, let's see if it gets removed.

Circumventing eBay so they don't get their cut will bring the hammer down in a hurry

[skypinkblu]

Not THAT fast, ..I reported it at about 8am;)

[PokerKid]

I'm don't think it is a Famous First. I don't think the Famous First has the copyright notice at the bottom of the cover.

 

When I was a kid I had a couple of these - I think Bats 1 was another. They were manufactured as plaques. They must have been cheap (maybe $5) because I would not have bought them before purchasing any decent GA or SA book.
