My two cents is the seller sounded legit, I talked with him when the auction first started and made him an offer. He said he had been getting a lot of hate emails for selling the piece so quickly. He said he was a big fan who happened to get lucky, he said he checks the irrational store multiple times a day and although he didn't want to to sell he said he has a family and needs as much money as he can get for it so he declined my offer. I thought I was crazy to offer 450 for it, the most I've ever attempted to spend on an item. I laugh at this whole scenario and am sick to my stomach as well, it's almost the death of collecting to me. Believe me there are crazy people out there I grew up with the kid who's father created American gladiators and he would go to any length or price to get what he wanted. I saw him in 1991 pay over 20,000 dollars for the first appearance of the xmen and even more for spiderman number 1. So five thousand dollars is nothing to some collectors, if they are told no or believe this is their only shot a special rare price they will pay up
