Spent $80 on a key issue from 1985, it was a reprint in disguise
Tbh I felt like a genius at the flea market last Sunday. Dude had a copy of X-Men #205 that looked flawless, no sticker residue, sharp corners. He wanted 80 bucks and I haggled him down to 70. Got home, checked the back cover, the barcode was wrong. Reprint from 1991. My own fault for not pulling out my phone right there. Has anyone else been burned by a sneaky reprint at a flea market or swap meet?
