DC# Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) I started this recap in another thread but thought I would pull it out and try to keep it updated (with the help of the eyes and ears of board members who are interested).

"Gotham City Edition" "Signed & sketch by Mike Mayhew on 8/31/18" -- your position is that someone had a 9.6 1961 FF1 signed by Mike Mayhew ? Its clearly a poor description, but will be made clear via the image. Likely they have the same description in their database for any version or reprint of FF1.

I'm just saying that description could be better. While it's obvious to me that this is not an FF1 from 1961, the date at the top of the description says 1961 instead of 2018 or whatever the actual date of publication is for this book. And yes, a pic would help to clear it up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am constantly apologizing to GA collectors as it is not my area of expertise especially outside of SuperHeroes - I know a few of the big ones to look for but definitely not all. But I also tried to limit this to sales since 2020 when the most recent boom took off. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
