Unbelievable, isn't it!? I seen one the other night. The seller said he didn't know if it was real or not because it was ungraded. It looked narrow/small to me but yet he already received a lot of bids and if memory serves, it was already bid up over $300.00 dollars even though he said he was selling it as a reprint.

Always wondered that as well?
