Is this genuine? A power seller with 500+ feedback sounds good, but if this was the comic equivalent, alarm bells would be ringing. If it were real, would the $395k figure sound right or is it too high?

This seller has been on ebay for ages, and if memory serves he's never had scans in his auctions. He seems to regularly (try to) sell pricey GA & SA books, and always offers time payments. I've always assumed he was legit, just clueless. When you regularly sell books worth 1000s of dollars, probably time to invest in a scanner!

If it's true (and it very well may be), what do you think a realistic price would be?

Well, I hate to dog someone's ongoing auction. It could sell at that price... what do I know. But, I would think a more reasonable price if there is such a thing for such a Big piece would be in the 100 to 150k range. Maybe a tad more if Heritage got a hold of it, or if it was sold with some trade and or time payments. Dan

how many pages are in the story. and is the cover around. ? who did the cover kirby ? that has to be crazy loot.

Kirby and Heck did the cover.

 

The auction is for the splash and entire story, NOT the cover.

 

Don Heck did the art to the interior story and splash.

Nope, not officially anyway. According to the credits, it was Stan Lee, Don Heck, and Artie Simek (letterer).

 

Interestingly, the issue also has backup stories by Gene Colan and one by Steve Ditko. I wonder if this guy has the whole issue or just the Iron Man story.

rhino. thanks on the info. but would this guy do better money wise to let heritage auction the story off. at least it is a lil more professional than flying to fla to do a back alley deal like its a cash and carry drug deal. those terms just sounds a lil shady for me. confused-smiley-013.gif

I agree, doesn't seem like the best way to do it and as you say it does sound shady. But I've never underestimated the naivete or stupidity of some sellers.

 

Could you imagine if something like this was auctioned off by Heritage? It'd be HUGE!!!
