Bat-Man

Here was my last futile attempt at it Breathtaking... I remember them all (since most were mine to begin with ) This pic really is amazing. All the books there are grails for the most part!

My (new) latest Tec purchase. Thanks to Filter81 for selling me it! Edit - Added Pic.

Here was my last futile attempt at it Great Books! And I love the Tec 27 can!

I read the word Bat and then 1 and was trying to figure out how Batman 1 fit into that continuity. Simple reading/scanning error. Trust me, I am well aware of the entirety of the Batman pantheon. I've owned them all, several times. Okay I gotcha. I've done that before as well. And no worries - I was under the impression you knew full well and I only posted the long message explaining it all not to just reply to you but just in general to make sure I was clear with my point. To be fair my original post was quick and I could see how it could be easily confusing. And to "I've owned them all, several times." I must say that is truly impressive - I have never complete "the run" even once in its entirety but I am working on it. I love the early batman books (As an off topic side note - I also enjoy the original start trek series and Spock was always my fav character. Spock "rules" - "Live long and prosper")

Cool... so I only have 7 Batman-cover pre-Robin Tecs to go to complete my run! Doesn't sound so bad when you put it that way. Yeah it doesn't at all.

Bill is a well seasoned long time collector. You are preachin' to the choir I was assuming he was. But he said he did not understand my commentary (relating to the Batman covers) so I just explained it in full detail. Not quite sure what he did not get but that's why I just spelled it out. Am I am sure everyone knows everything I said above already. Just trying to be clear-er. (thumbs u

Hope that clears up whatever you do not understand.

in the pre-robin Tec run there are 11 issues. There are 7 of which with Bat covers. 4 That do not. So: If he has 5 bat covers He only needs 1 more (#31) to have all the bat covers in the 28-37 run or he needs 2 issues (#27, #31) to have all the bat cover issues if he is doing the whole 27-37 run. (thumbs u

Great great great! You've got all the Bat covers except 1! Got a 31 in your scope? Edit - all covers except 1 (not counting 27 than is would be 2) Pardon? Huh?

you got the rest of your life (thumbs u Daunting - But true! Don't give up on completing your already amazing run!

Don't have a pic to post - but I will agree........ L.B. Cole was one of the elite artist in my book that will always be noted as a master of his craft.

Don't if your a big DC or GA Marvel Fan! It's hard and expensive but the GA grails feel so good when you land one! (thumbs u

Well just as a side note most pre robin Tecs can go anywhere from 2x guide to 5x guide these days. Finding a Tec at guide is next to impossible.

Well considering how it is so hard to find and a lot of collectors are looking for it (me included.) I think if one does emerge for sale it will go for a pretty shocking sum and it may turn into a battle for many to buy it. Anything at this point good be possible price wise. I would not be surprised of any final value price that could come up. But is is safe to assume that a Tec 36 even in a 1.0 will cost a couple thousand at this point.

dude, love the book, but you REALLY need to get a new camera or scanner I know know. I took these pics on my new iphone. (My friend had one and I gave in and bought one - love it!) It is a 3.0 mp phone camera so that is why it is not that good. I'll get around to taking better pictures with my real camera soon. But yeah these pics are fuzzy, sorry.

I bought this baby a few weeks ago. Detective Comics #31 CGC 2.5 EDIT - added back cover pic.

Great book!!

Should they be?

Great book! I want to get myself one of these someday. It does not count - but I do have Flash #105 ! (thumbs u

Awesome!

Not worthy!??! Man that is a fantastic 98 you got there. Looks amazing! (thumbs u

Great copy you got there! And oh man, I bet you got it for a deal when you got it. The grader must have been a rookie - or an old man on some drug. That is a 7.0 and it looks like a 7.0! Nice page quality on that one as well! (thumbs u I'm sure I paid $300.00 at the time,,, I think the dealer downgraded the book because of the name penciled on the cover.. At the time I think it was considered a big defect.. I lucked out on this one I would say - amazing deal!! Your sure did! Nice! And sure there is a name on it which might annoy some people but its on the top neatly positioned - not on the main part of the cover which would be a annoying. Not bad, not bad at all. As for me with my laughable 45. I think I need to seriously upgrade it in the near future. It won't be a 7.0 , but hopefully a 4.0 or 4.5 . But I do want to keep my current 45 - even if I upgrade fore I like having an example of the lowest possible grade for a book without it being incomplete!

#41 is a nice angry batman cover. Here is a pic of my low grade 45. And as a fun fact about my collection - this particular Detective 45 is my lowest graded book I own (besides coverless books). It is a CGC 1.0 Restored w/ Brittle Pages. Can a grade get much worse? Nope. But I have had this guy for a long time and have grown fond of him. And the brittle pages have not had any pieces flying around in the case. Enough rambling, here it is...
