Taneets Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Howzit, I am new to your website and a rookie at the entire world of collecting comics. I have know someone selling an Amazing Fantasy comic which introduces the Amazing Spiderman, but all I have is a picture of the cover. Is there anyway to tell the authenticity of it or if it is a fake or reprint? I just can't imagine it would be real. Sorry I do not have any additional pictures and I will not be able to inspect it. Its a tricky situation. Any comments or suggestions are welcomed...

Funnybooks Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Definitely not the real deal Reprint Appears to be some sort of display/decorative piece of foam art to hang on your wall Edited November 2, 2020 by Funnybooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 It does not even appear to be a comic book...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Looks like those wood pictures that are sold of classic covers....def not a comic, def not real. Not to be rude but if you cannot tell that that is not a comic by looking at it, I don't know if this is the hobby for you....

If they are claiming that its even a comic (let alone a real AF 15), you should report them to Amazon for false advertising (or some other rule violation) Also for the OP, do not in ANY CIRMUMSTANCE pay more than $5 for ANY COMIC.

B2D327 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 If you have the money to throw around for an AF 15, you should know what the real thing looks like. A google image of a certified copy should be easy enough to find and take notes for an investment of that size. Hint: it won’t have a yellow border around it.

Pro tip: It also will be a comic book with paper pages not a wood/plastic composite rectangle with a wall hanger on the back. Lazyboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
