NM+ copy of AF 15 on eBay...is this guy for real?

[DeeDee-migration]

I couldn't sleep and was just browsing eBay right now and came upon this auction:

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...p;rd=1&rd=1

 

Any chance this guy is legit? Still amusing either way. Forgive me if this auction has been posted or discussed previously...but I especially loved all his posted Auction Questions and Answers!

 

I just figured out what this auction is. It's a Photoshopped picture of the White Mountain copy. The "62" in the issue number/month box and the faint spine stresses (and the fact that the book has exactly the same registration, except for the parts he photoshopped to cover up the subtle edge wear) give it away.

what are the odds the scammer has an honest bone in his body and will donate the $3K to the hero initiative?

It's not comic-keys. Comic-keys sent me an email a couple days ago with his theory on why this AF 15 auction was fake.

Interesting that comickeys has such an interest in outing other peoples practices.

He has always done that. Kind of like the Frank Abagnale of the comic world.
