Surely this must be a reprint (or a fake) ?

Noticed this on ebay as a now ended auction.

 

Action Comics no' 1 sold for just 2.5k dollars. Surely a reprint (or fake) ??

100% a reprint. The car's running board (the piece Superman is gripping with his right hand) on a real Action 1 is yellow, not green. Dead giveaway.

 

The buyer paid $2.5k for something worth about 50 cents.

A Real Action #1 Also has rocks bouncing off the hood of the car

I love the fact that none of the seller's purchases with visible feedback cost more than $1

They also tried selling this earlier...

I thought it was too good to be true since even an antiques dealer (as they specified in the listing) would surely know how valuable some comics are.

This from the Famous first edition reprinted in 1974,it's an oversized comic.Probably why the seller took the pictures from far away to make the book look smaller.whomever bought this book has been ripped off,Overstreet on a 9.2 is 90.00.That's with the hard cover over the original cover,without that cover it's basically worthless.

Why must you all hate on my crazy good purchase from this honest eBayer. When I get this graded and it comes back a 9.8 white pages and sells at Sotheby's for $20 Million you will all stop hating on my amazing find.
