Posted By: <b>ramram </b><p>Let's see...do I buy the one for $6,800 or do I go for the $4.99 auction?

Posted By: <b>t-206collector</b><p>This is not, however, a reprint. It cost me about $100 five years ago. I seriously doubt it's gone up in value very much in that time, but who knows...<BR><BR><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1085619948.JPG">

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>but for that kind of bank, I would not buy it absent a third party (of my choice) opining on its authenticity. Set up an escrow of the funds with a real escrow agent and properly drawn escrow instructions, let an expert view the item, and close the deal if the item checks out.<BR><BR>Why does this sort of thing come up over and over again? It is really true that no one has ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the American consumer?
