  1. Here's a fun photo I read my Tec 34 side by side with my DC archives. Obviously enough - the genuine article is much better than the archives.
  2. I assembled the first 500 issues back in the 70s - 90s, then had to sell them. I swore I would never put the run together again. I was wrong, I'm back at it. Slowly though. No rush. I've got 200 up about 75% complete. Once those are done, I'll work on the first 200. So, in about 10 years I should be complete
  3. and........ Never ending amount to go.........
  4. One of my favorite Joker covers! Great!
  5. For sure. (thumbs u Thanks guys! The BatMan "rules" Love all the Pre-Robins oh so much!
  6. Yeah please do a before/after post!
  7. Thanks! (thumbs u Funny you ask about the #32... I've actually sent it to Matt Nelson for some repairs. It's pretty low-grade, with some spine split at top, tears and a detached/married centerfold, but Matt estimates it will be an Apparent 5.5 with just some simple structural work. I'll post it up here when it (eventually) comes back. Sound good! Gotta love Tec 32 - classic splash classic and BATMAN SHOOTS AND KILLS WITH GUN!!!
  8. It stinks. That's frustrating. I bet the seller was bombarded with so many inquires and I won't be surprise it will end up be a in CGC holder and up for auction in the future. My other theory was that as well. That the seller might not have known what they had and when they saw the interest perhaps they realized that it is a valuable book. I would not be surprised either. And by then it will command a "ton" of $$$ to obtain most likely. MYSTERY SOLVED! I finally got a response from the seller: "Thank you very much for your interest in my Detective Comics, number 35, Batman issue. I was so inundated with so many questions concerning so many aspects of the condition of this comic which I just could not answer. One Ebayer was kind enough to advise me that I would be better of, since I know nothing about comics, to send it to CGC for appropriate grading instead od providing Ebayers with my own, perhaps incorrect, grading of this comic. Please contact me in a few days and I will let you know what the grading is and what I plan to do with this comic book. Thank you again." Also sent me a message with their e-mail and told me to e-mail in a few days. That's good DETECTIVE work Bat-Man. (thumbs u I'm interested to see if they do send it to cgc. And what the grade is. As with any book CGC makes a transaction safer for both the buyer and seller! (Also might drive the price up!) That will be true...no ifs or buts. Looks like it will be a universal grade. Yeah it does, might turn out to be a stunner. I am glad they are thinking cgc because when I inquired about specifics I was left with more questions than answers. Like she called the covers "wrappers" and things like that which really confused me. Hopefully the book will end up in a blue holder and find its way back on to an auction site so everyone can have a shot at it. As that joke referenced, wouldn't be surprised if HA and Clink contacted the seller to try and get a piece of the action. Or, after the grade is made known, if it is indeed a nice, blue label, maybe i'll email her and tell her that if she doesn't need the cash to just sit on the book as it will only get more valuable year after year. I agree...whatever she plans on doing with it, she's a winner. Especially if she is the daughter per say of the original owner........will be rolling in the dough
  9. Great books! Nice covers! What grade is that 32?
  10. That is a fantastic piece! Wow!

  12. If they do send it and they let me know the grade - I sure will! (thumbs u

  15. That is exactly about how heritage does it though. I knew you were kidding but I would not doubt anything now-a-days. Who knows perhaps that scenario did play out. We'll see in April A while back, I have seen ComicLink tried to purpose someone on ebay to sell there high grade Tales of Suspense 39 on their auction site. Comiclink and others should really not do that. Wish they wouldn't Everyone wants a piece of the pie. Here's to CL when they did that It's a fast and furious market...so be careful. Collect what you enjoy and you will be a winner. So true!

Yeah, that's a big $$$$ money book. That 6.5 on CL sold for a bundle last year. 35's cover is incredible. And the splash is equally incredible. It's a very solid book. And is firmly my 2nd fav book of the Pre-Robins. Going to be a trouble finding one.

  20. I am so annoyed at this. I tried contacting the seller and asked why it was pulled but got no response. Got an offer he couldn't refuse? If you could work out a deal and avoid as many fees as possible, why not? ebay rules be damned. Probably true. I hate that. Looking through the seller's other items for sale it would seem they are an antique seller. Maybe they just stumbled upon this book somewhere (luckiest find ever) and do not know comics. If they did sell it under the table the buyer may have gotten a real steal on it.
