CGC forumite Keldog sent me an email reminding me of a recent CGC forum thread about a BOGUS Iron Fist 14 sale. In October of last year, a scammer from Aussie listed on ebay a CGC 9.4 Iron Fist 14. He did not mention in the listing that the book was the variant issue, but used a scan of the lone CGC 9.4 book in the listing.
Interestingly, the auction ended at $6100 despite the fact that the listing looked so fishy. Since the book was not described as a variant, many variant collectors missed the listing and others simply ignored the listing because it had scam written all over it.
Anyway, it appears that ebay scuttled the auction which hopefully means that the buyer didn't get burned. If the true owner of the 9.4 Iron Fist 14 variant does want to sell (trust me, he knows the difference between the variant and the non-variant issue), I will gladly pay $6100 for it.
If you would like to read the CGC forum thread discussing this book, you will find it here CGC discussion of bogus Iron Fist sale.
