xvipah Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 You're not wrong. I am making the assumption this is a much older man, being that I live in Florida, who may have had that sitting in a bag/box somewhere forever. 1 minute ago, fast eddie said: That spine sure looks nice for a book of that age,,,,,,,,, hmmmmmmmmm,,,,,,,,, be careful!

fast eddie Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Look very closely at the paper,,,,,,, does it look 75+ years old? The spine,,,,,,, looks so nice! I hope it is genuine,,,,,,,but I advise caution,,,,, so rare to see these books in that condition,,,,,,,, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvipah Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Yea man, believe me I know. That's why I'm flip flopping on this. Finding a raw Batman #1 in that condition seems next to impossible. But, aside from things like you're saying here "That paper and spine just don't look like they should be that nice" I can't find much wrong. Seeing it in person will help for sure. 2 minutes ago, fast eddie said: Look very closely at the paper,,,,,,, does it look 75+ years old? The spine,,,,,,, looks so nice!

Artboy99 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 consider a CGC 5.0 copy recently sold for $360,000.00 I just can't believe this is a real deal. It screams repro copy xvipah and KCOComics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xvipah Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) I agree, that's why I'm trying to figure out if it's worth my effort. It definitely screams too good to be true. But, what if it isn't? :P Though I didn't see the "in a slab" details in that first pic. Not sure I see it even now.

xvipah Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 lol, I toldja I live in Florida. There's no way this kid goes anywhere without his conceal carry permit and carry gun. And, in the case of something like this, other people. If you just mean robbed as far as the book being a fake. Maybe. I still kinda want to see it, hear what the guy has to say, etc...

vheflin Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Also, the black line along the spine is entirely visible in the first pic. Look at the spine close-up picture, the black line is broken, not the same comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvipah Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 I do see what you're talking about as far as that top area looking like the edge of an inner well now. So, take a pic of a slabbed Batman #1 to make it look real, then just inside pics of a repro.. Man, that's pretty slick work if that's what he's doing.

xvipah Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'd much rather be heartbroken that it's not real than spend money and be heartbroken I got taken for a ride. This is why I posted it here, for sure. You guys are way more suspicious and detail oriented than me. MatterEaterLad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatterEaterLad Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Has the seller asked for a deposit? That's how this scam goes sometimes. I seriously hope this is real because it would be the find of a lifetime. But... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
