Go look at this. A buy it now for this Mexican Ff 1 at $6500. Are the insides even FF1? I have some Mexican Ducks that have insides not related to the cover. Would anyone in their right mind pay ANYTHING for this book?

Well the high bid is over a dollar, so I guess it at least has some curiositiy value.

How so? Was there really a Mexican version of FF1 or is this some later reprint?

It doesn't look like a scam.

 

If the Mexican edition exists (as noted on the CGC label) then it is very clearly stated in the auction.

 

I don't see any deception here.

 

Crazy BIN yes, scam no.

Actually, I find it kinda cool. Of course, I wouldn't pay the BIN but that is a different issue.

 

What other foreign editions exist of FF#1?

I also like the Mexican version of this FF#1. I own a Mexican Amazing Spider-man #1, purchased it about 13 years ago, in mid grade. It is from 1963, the cover is a little wider then it's USA conterpart. It has the same interiors. I also own a Superman #76 Mexiacn version. Same book again, same year, but the cover is painted, but the eact same cover otherwise.I would pay in the high 1k range for the FF #1 now on ebay. I was told by Gary Carter years ago that the foreign books are worth about 10% of the Americans, and maybe up to 20-25% for key issues.

I saw a Mexican version of a FF comic a few weeks ago in lot of Silver Age FF. It was around issue 45 and had the same logo, so it seems legit.

Wow, 6.5K ¡Viva México!

Wild. I'm sure everyone would love to see it if you can post an image.

No Scanner. And I am somewhat computer illiterate on how to do a post with a image even if I had one. If you want, I can fed ex you a full color photo copy. You could post it if you like.--Joe Serpico

Small amount of writing on back cover in pen...

 

Gee, when I sell books like that, I just say "math problems on back cover"...

[markseifert]

I also own a Superman #76 Mexiacn version. Same book again, same year, but the cover is painted, but the eact same cover otherwise.

 

Wow, nice find. That issue is one of my favorite early-50's DC books. If you are able to get a scan of the cover, I'd love to see it.

[otherworldsj33]

it looks like it sold, someone hit the BID button. A little hard to belive, at that price.

[otherworldsj33]

OK, the bid must have fell through, if it was ever legit to begin with. The book is back on ebay.

They aren't, because all the facts are laid out before them.
