[Jordysnordy]

Emailed him for back cover picture and inside pictures - no reply yet.

gotta be a scam

[AlexanderM]

Weird way to scam...If it is. Why not just take a normal grail. This calls for much more scrutiny.

I've never seen that variant but I know that there rare ones that are worth quite a bit of money

[ChicksCosmiComics]

I think that was the original art work but it got nixed for the lamer ASM 10, but that cover screams reprint.

The guy is asking $20k and he only posted 1 picture off his smart phone?

Alternate cover never used:

 

 

Maybe Bababooey knows more?

Scammers be scammin'

Looking into it more it's

Official Marvel Index to Amazing Spider-Man (1985) #2 back cover (you can see the staples are on the wrong side.)

[pemart1966]

This was I believe the rejected cover to issue 10 - replaced (for whatever reason) by the published version drawn by Kirby and Ditko.

 

This may be a copy of that rejected cover adhered to a copy of the comic - or something of that nature.

It's the very rare "water stained reprint" variant.

 

 

[Jordysnordy]

Got my reply late last night about asking for more pictures.

Here is the back and forth:

 

Dear jordysnordy,

 

NO I DONT, DO YOU NEED MORE INFO BEFORE YOU BUY IT?

 

-XXXXXXXXXXX

 

Dear XXXXXXXXX

 

 

Obviously I do or I wouldn't have asked for more pictures!!

If you have them I would appreciate them!

 

Dear jordysnordy,

 

THE PUBLICATION IS 1974, PICTURES WILL FOLLOW.

 

-XXXXXXXX

 

 

Dear XXXXX

 

From 1974?

This issue was released in March 1964.

This must be some sort of reprint.

 

Dear jordysnordy,

 

THAT WAS JUST A GUESS, I HAVE TO GO TO MY BASEMENT TO RE CHECK.

 

- XXXXXXXX

 

That's how we ended off last night.

 

What a beaut!!

Maybe he will post the variant cover for #16 next and ask 20K.

Does this guy really think people are going to throw this much money around without having any idea what it is? Calling a Flash 173 a Flash 17 isn't going to fool anyone who has $900 on hand.

 

This thread title is fantastically ironic though since it turned out that the book in question was actually the back cover of the Official Marvel Index to Amazing Spider-man, worth about a dollar.

[wardevil0]

I suspected when I first saw it that it might be a new version of something like this, which is in fact super-awesome and deserves some more attention.
