eBay: AMAZING FANTASY 15 … App. NM/NM+ 9.4/9.6 Restored

Final Price: $10,100.00 Seller: comic-keys(private)

Description:

"I auctioned this incomparable book on Ebay about 6 months ago, and if you missed out on it then, here it is, returned to Ebay on consignment from the buyer. An immaculate, glossy, white paged, slightly restored AF 15, with brilliant, off-the-press colors, snow colored, brilliant cover whites, and no cover transparency/translucence that looks as clean and vibrant as the day it was printed! No graphite streaks or smudges in the beautiful, untoned, charcoal gray background. Some light, perfectly matched professional color-touch applied on some minor stressing at the spine in the upper brown area. An AF 15 with unparalleled paper resilliance and freshness, that feels in hand more like a 1980s book than a 1960's book and does NOT at all have the look or feel of a restored book, the color touch extremely elusive to find without the proper light and optics, and must have started out, at the very least, as a NM- example before minor professional minimal color touch. As the price of unrestored high-grade Silver age books soar out of the financial capabilities of 99% of the hobby's collectors, these type of minimally restored high grade books, as a collecting alternative, will become more and more in demand and as such will become good investment material in their own right, much the same way mildly restored Golden age books gained in popularity, and price, when the unrestored Golden age key-book market prices rose into the ionosphere a decade ago! *****A Private Auction to dissuade the "Thrill/Joy-Bidders" that are generally attracted to books of this nature in these extreme grades, to preserve the integrity of the auction for the well-intending bidders, and to ensure bidder/winner confidentiality. ALL may bid in a Private Auction, where only the Seller views the Bidder's names, as in most Professional Online Auctions, thereby eliminating the incentive to place bids merely to bolster ones bidding status and "Search: as a Bidder" record.***** **Bid with confidence: a 7-day full money back guarantee from a 1591-7 feedback Ebay Platinum-Power-Seller and GUARANTEED Square Trade Member. **Time payments available. Please contact me at least 72 hours to discuss individually tailored payment terms. **PayPal accepted. **Winner assumes exact postage. **Please view my other auctions. **Back cover scan available. **Hundreds of high grade Silver age inventoried, especially #1, Origin, Key, First Appearance, and Spiderman #1-100 issues. **Please direct all inquiries to: Comickeys@aol.com . **NOTE: IF YOU DON'T HAVE AT LEAST 10 FEEDBACKS, please email me for permission to participate BEFORE placing bids. Thank you! *****A word about my negatives: 1 negative is from a buyer who couldn't wait for customs to clear his International parcel & though in constant contact with me the whole time the parcel was in customs, NEGGED ME anyway. 2 negatives are retaliatory in nature and were received by me immediately after leaving negative feedback for a seller (two separate auction items) whom I paid yet never received any merchandise from. 2 more negatives are from a buyer who paid through PayPal, then CANCELLED his payment on both items, and still unrealistically expected me to send the items, negging me when I didn't! The last, received 5/19/04 from a low-feedback winner WHO BID ON AND WON a low dollar book, FOR NO OTHER REASON OTHER THAN TO DELIBERATELY ISSUE A NEGATIVE. Details on request as well as specific details about my other unearned negatives mentioned above."
