a few friends of mine has had a lengthy discussion in regard to the authenticity of the attached images of this particular amazing fantasy #15. it sports a yellow background on the price tag (circular 12c). the graded one and the imaged searched one have a white circular background. the owner insist that it is a legit nm edition of am15. i searched about it but can not find any reference to it. a post found in google identified it as part of marvel's 75th anniversary dvd but i not sure.
do you guys think this as a legit or fake?

I wonder if the light makes the 12 cent background seem yellow, but it actually isn't. Kinda like that black & blue dress thing that went viral.
Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

I don't know...
I looked for reprints of AF15 and none of the 9 or 10 reprints I found had that yellow circle. However, jidging from the rest of the book, I think it's a fake. It's just way to crisp and white."You don't ever quit. Not even to your last drop of blood. You got folks relyin' on you then you just can't afford to." Sean Noonan-Hitman #47

I'd tend to agree. It looks too good to be true.

I believe it is a fake, if not where has it been hiding all these years?
If you really want to know...Send it to CGC.

Anybody buying this without a CGC grading (or equivalent accreditation from a major auction house) along with other safeguards should not be allowed out of house without their dear old mum. Originally Posted by marvelmaniac6169

I'd give it the smell test. There's a LOT of well read copies out there. Be interesting if some yellow circle copies turn up. My copy has a white circle.
