I'm sorry, you're in the wrong club.  Pence copies don't count.:baiting:

Seriously though, that's a sweet copy.  Are you thinking CT removal?  Or just leave it as is?

I was afraid it was like a fake ID lol 

I am not going to lie.. the thought has crossed my mind on the CT removal... but it looks so pretty the way it is, I will probably leave it the way it is for now.

It looks great the way it is right now.  If it was a bit less CT I'd say go for it, but because of the dark brown background and the amount of CT I can see in your photo..... it would look pretty harsh.

That is what I was thinking too... reason I picked this one was the centering and no chipping so to scrape it would defeat the reasoning.

An AF15 cgc 4.5 just sold on heritage for 66k.  Crazy!  Prices will most likely be looking up hopefully.    https://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/superhero/amazing-fantasy-15-marvel-1962-cgc-vg-45-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7229-96169.s?ic2=mytracked-lotspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyTrackedLots-101116

All signs so far pointing to this having been legit?

I keep an eye on SS as an owner of a slab... the premium has shot up since Stan Lee's passing, no doubt, but this is kinda bonkers.

Obviously an outlier, even with respect to Lee sigs (given location of sig).

My copy of Af15 let me know what you guys think. Will be tough to get better in higher grade without breaking my bank for what I was looking for in a copy.

Added bonus is the Stan Lee sig on the inside....if that 4.5 on Heritage went for 66k......

Nice copy, and it couldn't come from a better dealer . Bob is the best around.

so hard to know unless you have a man on the inside. HA told me yes it was legit. but i have serious doubts.

I found this on my local Craigslist. What do you think? Worth it?

https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/clt/d/arlington-amazing-fantasy-15-5/7129258310.html

I think yes. 1.0 selling for close to 10k so yea.

But I would want a better pic. Cant even read the label. And a back cover pic.

This is not a real ad.  This was sold from barclaycomics on Instagram to youngcomicscollect and its his book.

I posted this earlier... purchased in 2009 for $750 on Ebay.  It was restored with re enforced front cover, before I had it graded I checked to be sure that the entire book was their, no pieces cut from it.... check.   The Cover appears to be from a AF15 that was going to returned with the top label cut, The label was recreated with such precision and authentic look.... originally I had it sent received a .5 restored significant work on it,  I sent it in latter to Desert Wind for a Stan Lee Signature.....  since then value of the book has gone thru the roof  ( however the chance of me selling is slim and none perhaps my daughter and heir when I leave this mortal shell will sell my CGC collection and  the AF )  I did sell my ASM 1  and FF 1 to help her out of college for a significant deposit on a used car... since then those books now each have hit high 5 figures  ( I should have just written a check )    here is it is thank you for this great club   Incomplete remark is due to the re enforcement of the front cover.
