Heads up: Fake comics are showing up at local fan meets
I was at a comic fan gathering near the park last week. Someone was selling what they called vintage first editions. The paper quality was off, and the colors were too bright. A buddy of mine paid fifty bucks for one and found out it was a cheap reprint. This seller has been seen at a few different spots around town. If you're buying from a new face, get a second opinion. It's better to be safe than sorry with your collection.

Wait, seriously? Fifty bucks for a cheap reprint? That's just crazy to me, I mean that's not some small change. It's so messed up that someone would show up to a local meet and just scam people like that. You gotta be really careful out there, I guess some folks have no shame at all.

Ugh, it feels like getting ripped off is just part of buying anything in person now. I see it with marked-up parking spots or fake tickets outside events. That local meet scam is just the same old mess in a new place.
