cueing Bedrock to come in and post that BEAUT of a MMC4... or RD, his is about the nicest (outside of bedrock's) I have seen

never say never

And I would certainly defer to the person who has much more experience in dealing with Detective Comics than I ever will. (I don't know if you remember me but I was in your booth in San Diego looking at the Tomb of Terror #15 (exploding face cover) but I just couldn't pull the trigger on it.) I recall...always nice to meet a fellow boardie! I look at tec 38 this way...for there to be 750 copies, that means there needs to be, on average, 15 copies in all 50 states...well, given that I know of about 40 collectors in NY alone that have copies, you can see how easy it is to extrapolate 750 being a realistic quantity! heck, I know of a dozen in Fl collectors hands too (thumbs u

my best "guess" would put the # of copies at just south of 1000... 750-900 is highly probable, but again, just basing it on experience (thumbs u I would say there are hundreds of Bat 1's out there too!

I would say it is much closer to 1000 than 200 (thumbs u prove it! i think your estimate is good - amazing considering the hundreds of thousands of copies that were printed that so few remain. i wish my grandparents had bought a stack of comics! don't we all! naturally, my opinions are just that, opinions... no one can realistically determine quantities that are current or completely accurate, but experience, observation, communication, etc, do allow one to make a "reasonable" assessment (thumbs u

I would say it is much closer to 1000 than 200 (thumbs u prove it!

I would say it is much closer to 1000 than 200 (thumbs u

i think it's between 200-250 max. the book came out in 1940, the wartime paper drives consumed most of the comic books of that era. I suspect there are many many hundreds of copies... this was the first sidekick book and kids picked it up, and held onto much longer, than pre robin issues... I have personally seen close to 3 figures myself, so I suspect there are 5-10x that amount out there...of course, we likely will never know!
