Sensation Comics #1

[cousin itt]

Just noticed an even more telling difference (other than size, which you can't tell from a photo)... the red exclamation point could just be worn off - after all, one of the other letters in the black text is worn off. However, look at the yellow text in the top left - it's completely different. It was obviously redone for the reprint. That can't be due to wear.

Can you tell us about who's selling it?

Are they trying to represent it as an original first print?

 

Craigslist?

 

No, not craigslist. I'm a small business owner and purveyor of antiques & other collectibles. Every now and then I purchase comics when the opportunity presents itself. Unfortunately I'm not as comfortable purchasing comics since they aren't my specialty.

 

Which is why I'm very thankful for your responses. This could have been a potentially grave mistake on my end.

 

He was asking $1300 for it.

You didn't notice it was huge?

I'm really confused

So you did notice the size difference?

[Hado]

I can't believe a collector would be fooled by an oversize reprint

So you weren't fooled by an oversized reprint?

ok lemme explain i guess

i was assuming it was the regular size book and a collector was asking for advice.

once it came out it was the reprint i wondered why a collector would be fooled-i thought he had snapped the pic and had seen the book.

then it came out he hadn't seen the book.

as facts came in i revised my posts.

[PirateLou]

When was this reprint released btw?

 

This guy won't believe me that his comic is a reprint.

[cousin itt]

Early seventies.

Just comparing the first letter "T" in the top left immediately shows a radical difference to the original. It is the same text used in the 1974 reprint. Combine that with the lack of an exclamation mark after "Wonder Woman" and you have the 1974 reprint. Not really of any value in that condition.

or just link this thread to him

Again Kav, this is a disservice to the boards.

 

Someone asked an honest question, and without any idea what you were looking at, you threw out a value. Roughly $2995-4995 over what Gator estimated it's value.

 

Can't you see the issue?

just ignore them-- they are trying to start an argument.

 

Agreed.

 

Kav already cleared up what he posted earlier, no need to beat a dead horse or cry disservice to the board over an issue that was clearly (and quickly) resolved.
