It's clearly a photocopied cover. And something especially weird is going on because it looks like it has photocopied the staples on the outside.

yes sir... Even more strange is that he photoshopped out the interior staple holes.

I had a colleague here at the office that is a novice forward me this and ask it is was a good deal.
I told him is was a beautiful fake and I asked him what the dead give away was...

What's even crazier is that this guy has such a high eBay rating with this ploy.

He says in thread title "COMIC COVER."

Maybe his game is to keep selling it until someone doesn't return it?

Sent the seller a question a couple days ago concerning the disappearing staples. Shocking to admit he has not responded.

Agreed, but seems to be the going price for the seller now.

This seller...

[comxdlr]

seems to me that if enough people turned him in for copyright infringement .. or selling fakes as it no where says its a fake.. only that its a 'cover' no where does it say 'reprint/copy/facsimile etc... thus.. its really not legal..if i am not mistaken..

Is there an "emperor" or "demigod" status for those of us who spotted the problem in less than 5 seconds?
