50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Did anyone see the drop dead gorgeous ungraded copy of Detective 27 on Comic Book Men last night? I don't know if it was a fake; but if it wasn't it was appalling when Bryan Johnson grabbed it for a photo. It looked to be an 8.0 plus copy if it was the real deal. The guy who brought it in claimed to be a bonded and insured representative for the owner. Couldn't think of a worse way to advertise your services!! I'll just stop by my LCS and see the wastrel Clerks and let them manhandle a Million Dollar Book!! Of course it is reality TV so I assume it's all fake anyway. If not does anyone know about this copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 It was restored I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman_fan Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I thought all the comics that came in on that show were staged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase22gr1959 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Comicbook Men visited the Geppi Museum and Geppi took out the Action 1 for one of the guy to sniff. Hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That show is real hit and miss (mostly miss) More like a train wreck!! My brother and I enjoy watching it to see how bad it can get and it rarely disappoints. The boys are from my hometown area so I always get a kick out of watching the shenanigans back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I thought, "Has it been restored?" would be an obvious question, but it was never asked. Sure, it's all staged, but I still cringed when Brian grabbed the book to hold it up for a photo. Had the situation been authentic, everyone else would've cringed, too.

Hilarious. Looks like the stresses and headaches of the direct distribution comic book market over the past couple of decades is clearly showing on Geppi. Still seems to have a burning love for the vintage comic books themselves though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the real estate/financial issues that plagued him are more to blame than his concern over diamond (actual did quite well, all things considered) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was definitely sad to see how he had to sell off many of his long-held vintage comic books during this period of time to keep the cash flow going.

I believe he made a bid on the 9.0 Action 1 WP a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Boy Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I was at the A Stash a few months back. Out of the 3 Guys that were there they were not friendly (not rude but not friendly) except for Ming. Didn't buy anything Not my cup of tea. Why anyone would bring that book to be on that show befuddles me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregreece Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) We were contacted to appear on an episode. At the time we had copies of Wonder Woman #1, Batman #1, and Superman #1. They wanted to know if we had a raw Fantastic Four #209 we could bring. Edited October 20, 2017 by gregreece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
