Someone apparently found 2 copies of action comics 17091

Also, the hatching on superman is off. The original has clear hatches all over superman but this one is blurred.

And then there’s the lettering spaces pointed out by Ditch...

And as well, the fact these books are too big to be real (look at his thumb in relation to the comic)

Too many ifs.

3:1 they are fake.

If I lose I’ll .99c auction a $100 comic for 100% to Heroes initiative to your $33 comic same terms.

Aside from trying to analyze the books to determine authenticity, analyze the behaviour. If you found 2 Action Comics 1s would plaster that news on Facebook? No way in hell would I do that. No one would know (who didn't need to know) I had those books until they went up for sale. For the reasons of a.) being robbed or b.) being called a liar.

I would absolutely tell all of you and rub it in. And answer any questions, and post any pictures. I'd let you know what the plan is, and solicit advice for how to proceed. I'd go to my LCS and show them, and I'd post it on Facebook for all my civilian (non-comic book) friends to see ... because EVERYONE knows what Action Comics #1 is. And if they don't, I'll explain it to them. Because: rub it in, remember?

For me, it's easy not to care if people think I'm lying when I'm not. Why should you care if people believe you? They'll eventually know it was real anyway when I sell one of them.
