Word through the comic grapevine is this story is a “story”, generated for the publicity of it all. AMAZING FANTASY #15, even in NM condition, is not a ‘rare’ comic book. Hundreds if not thousands of collectors have it. This story was created by a high roller in the comics biz ti stimulate things in the comic market. That is all.
