Never had the chance to read this!! Awesome little insight

 

I've read the Millennium Edition and Famous First Edition reprints, but this is on another level entirely. An incredible, fresh-looking original book, and fantastic to be able to leaf through it. :applause:

(thumbs u Rare chance to download and archive as a .cbr or .pdf.

 

Pretty much every comic you can think of already has….

Yeah, there've been rough Action 1s floating around for years, but this is a whole 'nother level. No chunks missing and no blurry microfiche replacement pages. Pure c2c historic goodness.

Question: what's the chance of this copy being a fake?

Auto-correct.

I mean 0.1%

 

If I can profit $3 million from putting in the market a fake 9.0 copy, I will put a lot of effort in it. Think about the people counterfeiting money and how close to the original they get. And money have all the anti-counterfeiting measures that a comic book from the 1930s did not have.

 

What I am asking is: how does CGC know that the comic book is the real deal? Do they run a radiocarbon dating analysis on the book? :-)

Hi botolo. :hi: Please keep in mind books of this rarity, grade, or of a specific pedigree don't just fall out of the sky. Serious collectors/dealers will keep an eye on these types of books and will follow the provenance of such. Seldom will a "rare" GA book come to market without a bit of history being known about the specific book, prior sales, or it's owner(s).
