I saw that auction earlier this week. It looked like a Famous First Edition copy with the gold cover torn off. That means it would be a .5 because it's coverless.

I agree w/Joanna,...it's a famous first reprint...this guy has tried this before.

In that case, I don't feel too bad...and at least I got some ice-cream out of the deal...

 

I thought that the Famous First Editions was a treasury-sized book. Am I confusing it with something else?

[Lantern]

 

From the auction description:

 

"Private offers are always welcomed, just email them to me if you would like to buy the item before it ends on eBay."

 

I thought that this was against eBay rules and guidelines. I thought that I had read somewhere that ending auctions due to outside eBay offers was a breach of eBay policy? While I know that it happens, is it acceptable to put it in the auction description?

It is a treasury size...if you look at this closley you can just sort of tell it's over-sized.

 

Plus the treasury sized books are all slightly different on the cover than the originals...someone pointed this out on the Detective #27 recently...the covers are all slightly altered...I don't know what it is on the Sensation...but if you study the two together you will find a difference.

Look at the scan below of the original Sensation #1, and you will see an exclamation point after the text "Wonder Woman." Now look at the Treasury edition in the auction, and you will notice that it is not there.

This is a real copy of Sendsation #1

 

 

Notice the color on the tree on the right side behind the gangtrers hat...kind of a purple color.....in the reprint it is the same color blue as the building

Pity the buyer. Probably thinking of all the money to be made on the flip !!!

Surprise,surprise,surprise.

 

[ghoulaid]

There probably was no buyer. It was a private auction and the seller shut it down saying he sold to the highest bidder (himself or shill friend).

The seller probably shut the auction down 'cause he saw the high price & didn't want to press his luck any further. Take the money & run...............
