G.A.tor

I lost out on the 9.6 Spokane issue of #13 last night...a shame, that was a beaut of a book (though it is a GA book)

It met reserve at $51K? Last Bid: $51,000 (Reserve Not Met)

I put the webite in and I get "no results" .... but I will try pressing the keyboard harder, that might work

nope...that looks like the mound city copy pressed...mine former copy was more attractive, imo

I was hoping you had won that one! It's the next best thing to me winning it. I get to enjoy it while you own it, and eventually when you tire of it, you'll sell it to me didn't you recently have one

I'm not going to argue with Batman #1's first place slot, thanks in large part to the significance of the characters it introduced, but in terms of enjoyability, a very good underrated book (cover-to-cover) in my mind is the 1939 NY World's Fair. I have heard others speak fondly of it but I've never held one. What makes it special to you? and strangely enough, the only top 100 Golden age book to have a price DECREASE in the 2009 OSPG Interesting Always odd when a book from the GA decreases..... And as we discussed in another thread Tec 35 has increased 26% in one year on the OSPG making it the biggest GA gainer. 26% is a massive gain (but the values are still not accurate for market value on the Tecs )

That's a great cover BZ. Everett worked for a lot of companies. He must have been fast. He was obviously good. And I like those big dinosaurs or dragons, although he might have been an alien horticulturist who was misunderstood.

I need to get a copy of this comic (thumbs u one of the better caps for sure

Airborne! (thumbs u I like it (thumbs u classic

My geek works fast! don't tell bobi, he has managed to fool her so far

that was some display of patience it'll be 2 weeks on sat. gator!!! give a brother a break. in that case, well done!

that was some display of patience

Since you are so strict and accurate on your grading...I wouldn't be surprised if it grades higher than your expectation. I am hoping... praying it gets one grade above what I think

better than 1.0

oh trust us, we know...it has "everyone"s attention (as in me and 1koko and everyone else and their mother )

Damn, good case. You guys are making me want one. I think I have an extra Treasury edition;) Thanks Sha, but I was looking for a regular-sized edition. Can you trim it down a bit? not really polite to ask for some tr ...err, nevermind

I have or had a william leach "ped" book

I have to admit - Batman #1 has got some of the best stories in it of all time. I love Batman #1. The whole book is incredible, you are correct! My personal favorite part is the end of the last story where Joker "dies." The classic line by Batman. Batman to Robin when Joker "dies." - "he delt his last hand and lost. And when the flesh rots from the bones the smile on his face will still echo on into eternity." Don't think I have the wording just right. But man that last line gave me chills when I first read it. An absolute classic book with stories that deserve to be in Batman #1. I also love the story in Batman #1 that was meant originally for Tec #38 but got bumped. I like that its the final GA solo Batman and he kills giants in it! Man I need to get myself a real copy of Batman #1 someday and stop reading my DC archives reprints! Obviously sir, you are a man of taste and distinction. Your stock is soaring in my eyes right now!! As you've learned, I read my GA comics, and Batman #1 is the best read of the GA. You get so much more bang for your buck than with Tec 27, Action 1, AA 16, Adventure 40, etc First appearance of the most important villain in comics history, Joker. First appearance of, in all likelihood, the most important female villain in comics history, Catwoman. Add that to the fact that it is the #1 issue of one of the three most recognized superhero characters in the world and you have quite a bit of comic book and pop culture history all rolled into one issue! The Timely equivalent is Cap #1, a book I am very, very fond of. But Cap is Cap. We all love him, but most people in the world have no idea who he is. Everyone knows who Batman is. Superman #1? Not even close. Only new ground mined there was the single superhero theme in one comic (inevitable with the sales on Action Comics), and pin-up back cover. Otherwise it is pretty much a reprint with a couple new pages tossed in for ballast. So while I love Tec 27 - 40 very much and hope to have most of them again one day, my grail is, and always will be Batman #1 you ought to just cut and paste from one of your CBG articles

I just bought a little xmen collection that has a mid grade 1 in it... also have a high grade copy hitting cgc soon, really keeping my fingers "crossed" on that one
