[sassemble]

 

I don't usually like to bash Craigslist sellers since I have bought a few good collections via CL over the past few years but this one takes the cake ...

hahaha yep. they must be the 'original' books....I'm sure when they first came out Marvel put 'original' on the cover for some reason....

He must have believed the banner on the top of one of those issues that says

I just sent him paypal payment for the negotiated price of $875. How do you guys think I did?

Yep, selling reprints as originals is a well-worn scam from way back.
