xvipah Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I am having trouble believing this is a real copy of Batman #1. But this is what a seller sent to me, and I can't find anything wrong with it. I have not seen it in person yet, just these pictures so far. I am really swaying towards trying to buy this, but I also want to be sure it's not a fake, and I'm not sure if I'm missing anything.

Galen130 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Looks genuine. I can't zoom in well enough to see...gets blurry. That's on me though. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolverineX Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Does he offer returns? I mean if he doesn't then I would worry for that amount of cash. If he does, then I would just get it and then get it slabbed. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xvipah Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Haven't asked yet, still preliminary stuff. I'm concerned for fakes/scams. But, it's not the treasury/reprint edition. I can't imagine faking foxing/tanning/rusty staples if you were gonna fake it, though it's not out of the question if you really know what you're doing. There's also no way I buy it without seeing it and at least checking it out myself, though I'm no expert, that'd also make me feel a lot better. 9 minutes ago, Wolverinex said: Does he offer returns?

xvipah Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Could also be restored and he'd take me for it I suppose, cause I have no idea how to find resto. But I'm ok with a purple label Batman #1 also if I have to. Or, if I get that, sending it back to get resto removed and accepting the lower grade. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much you are spending but I am going to assume it's a lot. You absolutely need to see it in person. Bring a friend too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah do your best to look for restoration, get a loupe. But You are right, a purple Batman 1 is still a BATMAN 1. WHO CARES BoogieWoogie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
