Isn't this the famous first edition?

[GAMBIT]

Book looks like it can use a good press

 

 

[greggy]

The real back cover of Superman 1 has the perforations to cut off the cover.

 

 

The Famous First Edition does not have it.

 

You are welcome.

The biggest giveaway is the size. He clearly lists the size in the questions sections yet dilrods are still bidding on it.

 

The biggest giveaway is the 6th image (open front cover). Read the spine - "Famous First Edition (Superman) C-61"

[Omaha-CGC-Comics]

I thought I had issues with poor observational skills.

All they had to do is scroll down to the "Other items like this" and see that there is a near mint copy for sale for $79. and describes it as a reprint that is 15 years old.

I would feel sorry for the buyers, but even though the lister was deceptive. He wasn't lying about there not being the word "reprint" anywhere on the book.

And he may have "inherited" it when he paid for it at the LCS, for the shop owner passed it down to him after handing over the $39.

Greed can make people blind. And laziness (not doing the simplest bit of research) on a comic can cost you dearly when you try to profit from it.

Ebay might actually give them their money back when the buyer realizes his mistake. But, if not, it's a valuable lesson I hope they learn.

Pretty sure winning bidder was a shill. He has 39 feedback, 37% bidding activity with this seller which means he has bought a bunch on incense lamps, paper money etc and suddenly wow he's a comic collector.

[cousin itt]

Another thing for which this seller can be reported.

[kav]

they got stuck without a chair when the music stopped

[krighton]

why have a shill win when he had so many other insufficiently_thoughtful_persons bidding on it.

[kav]

He got greedy

 

[Bills Comics]

I messaged the seller last night . Told him it was a reprint . Sent a link to show how to tell it was the reprint .

Either he ignored it or didnt read the message .

[kav]

I did the same thing.

[cousin itt]

I did the same thing on feb 8th. He knew.

[kav]

Yep

And this ain't the last we'll see of the famous firsts

[jsilverjanet]

It's an exact reprint, advertising and all. It's just huge.

 

+1

 

the size is the give away

 

Are we still talking about comics or something else?
