AF 15 NM+ relisted on eBay...did one of you guys set him straight?

[Arty]

Disappearing ink smudge below the issue #.

 

Looks like smudge is on plastic bag seen in the 1st picture. I thought those wrinkles were too but unfortunately they are part of the cover. Restoration nightmare.

[ciorac]

That's really poor quality resto. It looks like a Richie Muchin / Earl Scheib paint job. They just painted over everything and on the back cover the white paint goes over the ad text.

 

 

 

 

Does that thing even qualify as a comic anymore!??

[showcase4]

if this is CGC's new holder, I am not very impressed!

 

[action1kid]

Yeah its bad news

[timespast]

just imagine this beauty swinging its way to you in a manilla evelope

To those of you on a particular discussion thread,

Yes, this *spoon* has a heart and is well-meaning.

 

Based on his recent ebay ventures, merrymudcrab is not batting too well on his claims

of original unrestored status. I would venture to say that someone pointed out his

error in grading with the below auction as well.

Looks like someone glazed it with varnish..

[Mr. Zipper]

Cover is perfect and shiny like butter.

 

Since when is butter shiny?

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Restored or otherwise...

[TiQuinn]

Looks like someone glazed it with varnish..

 

That's the shiny butter.

[Aman619]

that AF15 makes me feel sorry for the indignity suffered by that one copy of AF15. Compared to all the other copies that managed to find a home in a nice mylar or slab, this one is formaldehided and glossied up and petrified for all time like poor Jonah Hex!

As I said before, this seller is not comic-keys. Also, comic-keys would never say that the cover is "shiny like butter."

Right... these people are dim-witted CK wannabes.

 

Say what you will about CK, the guy has a way with words.

Shiny as Butter? Creative marketing to be sure.
