6 years later update: the same person, Enrique Gomez Sanchez, appears to be trying to pass off a reprint Batman #1 as an unslabbed, unrestored VF original Batman 1. Wants $60K, doesn't want all the money up front because of "taxes" so just an initial payment of $2500, doesn't have a Paypal account so money needs to be wired, etc. Unwilling to ship the book to have it slabbed before purchase. Just fishing for anybody willing to wire a couple thousand dollars hoping to score a deal.

Conan, did he offer you the book directly or did you hear about it?

Did he use the same email address as previously?

When you feel comfortable, it might be worth posting pics so that members are aware of what is being offered.

Book was offered to us directly and using the same email address used previously.

He'll probably let someone walk with the book for the initial $2,500 down payment and a promise to pay in full over time, letting himself be scammed by a would-be scammer. Water finds its own level.

So he's trying to scam one of the dealers that caught him in his last scam?

Crack is a heck of a drug.

 You can have my Batman #1 Masterpiece edition for half that price.

He also have a Hulk 181, with blurry pics taken with a mobile. I asked him to scan front and back cover but he said that he will not do that because scanning can damage the book. He also said that Metropolis Comics does not scan his comics for the exact same reason.

A (poorly) faked Action Comics #1 CGC 9.0 has popped up in a discussion in another forum.

Imagine that dude in Grifters trying one of his con games on people and it doesnt work and 6 years later he's still trying it and it has never worked and still isn't working.  And he tries it on the same person it didn't work on, six years ago.
