[Want to Buy] TMNT #29 "Fan Comic" version

OA · 03-14-2018, 09:37 PM

I'm curious what the group thinks about fake TMNT #1, Gobbledygooks, etc. that sell for healthy prices, even when marketed specifically as fakes, and that seem to be overall much more accepted in the community. Is it because it happened so long ago and collecting it "for posterity" makes it a bit more accepted? Because at the end of the day, just like this illegal 29 this guy is trying to buy, those too were copied off the originals and then sold without permission.

Not trying to start anything, but it's honestly something I've always wondered about. I personally have never had any desire for any of the above mentioned fakes in my collection and have passed every time the opportunity came my way. But there is a quite a bit of demand, including by fellow Dromers, and I haven't really seen much (any?) shooting down of those collectors...in fact, quite the opposite at times.
