Boardies,

 

What do you think? Small scans. Seller says back cover is real, whereas restoration paperwork says reproduction. Seller says that he bought the comic book as a 15 year old.

Interesting price point.

 

You guys remember the Batman 1 CGC 6.0 restored that was up for auction with 0 feedback seller ( Earlier Batman discussion thread )...

 

Well, I'd emailed that fellow asking for more pictures - he emailed back and shared that it was no longer for sale on Ebay, but he'd gladly sell it to me privately for, guess how much...

 

$4,700...

 

Of course, he was in Spain! and needed the money ASAP! and, well, that's the end of that dialogue...

 

Same fellow?

it is 100% fraud.

 

It is about as real as Hulk 1 that another boardie bought on Ebay last month.

 

 

Is that the one that sold for $10K and the buyer received a box of paper in the mail?

Hopefully, Paypal buyer guarantee covered the loss and the buyer got his funds returned.

Hi Whizzer,

 

A collector can never own enough copies of Batman #1. Unfortunately, the number of mountebanks outnumber the number of real sellers. I feel like I am being conned into playing a :censored: game of three card monte when I buy off eBay.

Why would a teenager buying an expensive #1 GA key be fishy? Isn't this how the King of Comics got crowned?

The only crown he has is the one he got at Burger king
