Everyone: 

On the subject below: 

<< BATMAN #180   Text on the CGC label reads  "Cream to Off-White pages. DC 
Comics, 5/66,  File Copy. Floyd Gottfredson art."  >>

My best guess is that the uninformed, just-in-it-for-profit, e-Bay seller of 
"canned CGC goods" may have made a serious mistake.  

Though the mistake may not be totally his or hers.  There was a Golden Age DC 
Comics artist named Fred Guardineer who may have had some work reprinted in 
BATMAN #180.  

In at least one price guide, I've seen artist designations for BOTH Fred 
Guardineer AND Floyd Gottfredson abbreviated as "FG".  Yes, both artists were 
listed in the SAME price guide as "FG".  

So, here we may very well have a case of someone labeling and selling 
something he or she DOES NOT HAVE THE PROPER KNOWLEDGE OF -- and I suspect 
that if the winning bid for this copy of BATMAN #180 has come from a 
Disney/Gottfredson fan, that fan is going to be VERY disappointed.  

This is why I only buy comics that I can SEE, HOLD, AND FLIP THROUGH!  

Joe Torcivia.
