Most of my competitors have passed on or quit the business. But some are still out there to be found in the Overstreet guide and elsewhere. Most didn't even know I was continuing to invest after dropping out.

But seriously, the dimensions of the three were fine, but there were a number of missing parts of the covers to flag them all as fakes.

Happy New Year!!

Seriously though, people used to pull off the outer cover to the Famous 1st Edition treasury-sized reprint comics and try to pass them off as the originals. They had a glossy version of the original cover just inside the outer cover.

The easiest way to tell they are the reprints is by the overall dimensions. The treasury-sized versions are bigger that the originals.

Anyone actually buying these should know what they are looking for. You don't typically buy comics like that unless you have deep pockets and you know what you are doing.

I was almost positive that he was trying to peddle fakes. But I played along.

I had him send me pix of the insides, the spines and the covers.

The insides and spines looked authentic but the covers were all fakes, but really really good ones. Best fakes I had ever seen.

SO, be careful -- these are really good fakes out there that a novice might not catch onto quickly.
