Congrats Peter!

Highest recorded 9.8 on GPA for Bats #232 is a movie hype fueled 4K in 2007. This year the highest is 1.8K. (thumbs u So with 2 books 9.8 Bats 227 selling at $10M and $6600 and a 9.8 Bats 232 selling at $1.8M, would it be safe to say that 227 is a more valuable book apples to apples?? Im looking for evidence to support the claim based on fact not opinions. Either way doesnt matter as my goal is to be 100% unbiased.... thanks for the 1.8M fact Bats 227 is the more valuable book. If you want evidence, this is a good place to start: http://comics.gpanalysis.com Thanks. I met a dealer that told me 232 is key and more valuable apples to apples in gtrade and that 227 is not key it is only a cool cover and one person paying a premium price doesnt mean its more valuable So i have been investigating In my opinion the dealer is right. #232 is a 1st appearance of a major Batman villain. Its also part of a very good story arc with a Neal Adams cover. #227 is a cover swipe by a great artist. However the internal story is lame. The strength of #227 is Neal Adams and the cover. I don't think any Batman or Adams fan would dispute this. The shorter supply of Bats 227 in high grade dictates things for now. Where or what links can i find that proves the 227other has sold for more than 232?? Im looking for factual evidence ..... A $10 subscription to http://comics.gpanalysis.com will show you the proof, as mentioned several posts above. Bats 227 is much tougher to find in 9.0+ grades, probably the biggest reason it is more expensive in the high grades. It appears to level off to near equal value in 6.0 or so. As far as being a key, like others have mentioned, the 232 is a much more significant book, but the cover of the 227 is stunning and arguably the best of the entire bronze age.

that probably explains where the current 9.4 came from. there are at least three HG silver DC books that were purchased in the Clink Feb auction for extremely aggressive prices that are now back in this auction. two with the same grades, one bumped. I don't believe the sold 9.2 is the new 9.4 in this auction. I could be mistaken. I saw zero "white" on the bottom left edge of the front cover on the 9.2. you're probably right. i didn't really pay attention to the 9.2 last time. the silver books, i'm certain about. Mike, I double checked my back cover scans of what I believe is the 9.2 that sold for 1,500 and the current 9.4: Both books seem to have a similar cut from the back cover. Is it the same book? I didn't save the front cover scan of the 9.2. 9.2 current 9.4

Solid copy with outstanding PQ. (thumbs u

Comiclink seems to be the venue to sell 227's. A white paged 9.2 a few months ago fetched $1,500.00 and I recall Twisty's old 9.4 W sold for $1,600.00 several months ago. I would guess there is at least one more bid left on the current copy at auction.

+1, double the insanity I guess? Sometimes I wonder if some buyers even read the listing.

Nice pickups, Brian. (thumbs u

That is a pretty book and nicely centered. (thumbs u

No white on the spine.

The wrap is gorgeous. Congrats!

Outstanding books!

Name and number of your LCS?

Outstanding!

Just received 2 books from Jason. Accurately graded, excellent communication and packing. I look forward to buying more in the future. (thumbs u

Wow, that is a load of nice copies.

What a great looking copy! Kudos to you.

no way the shipping cost counts toward the minimum purchase requirement +1 The seller tried to make it right. Let it go.

should be able to find one in that grade at that price all day long. can't seem to find a sale that was even that high. maybe you meant 9.6 There was a 9.4 W copy that sold on CL about 3 or 4 months ago for $1,600+. It was Twisty1's old copy (see page 1 of this thread). I believe he sold it to a boardie and he auctioned it on the Link. Stellar copy with perfect centering. What's more amazing was the price of the 9.2 from December's CL auction.

Outstanding book. Is the back cover just as nice as the front?

It is a tad more than 3.5X the last GPA sale for a 9.6. That being said, that last 9.6 sale was in November, before the book got redhot. It ended about where I thought it might. (thumbs u

Awesome hat trick! Bidding is over on the ebay 9.8. 2,500 smackers. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=281068113936&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBUAA:US:1120 Dover's copy has better PQ. Dover is King!

I'd be happy to pay you what you paid for it in case you don't want to profit. I assume it stays with you because there's not a big chance for a 9.9 to hit the census. Do you have a spare GL 76?

The 9.8 on ebay has breached the 2K mark with 1 day left. Looking forward to what it ends at. Does it hit 3K?
