That is a gorgeous copy. If the back cover is clean, I think you are at a minimum of 9.2. Love the wrap on it, too.

Good luck, I hope it comes back 9.2 or better.

I was scared to bid on that after it got past $200.00. No back scan and the smallish offset miswrap. It does look nice though.

Nice centering on that MTU 1. (thumbs u

I suspected you were bidding on that Betty & Me 1. Beautiful book! I put in a thrill bid on it.

Yes, but based on the fact he has a make offer option, I would guess he's willing to negotiate.

Greg Reece has a 9.6 OW on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BATMAN-227-CGC-9-6-OW-PAGES-CLASSIC-NEAL-ADAMS-COVER-DETECTIVE-COMICS-31-SWIPE-/300628613329?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item45fedc98d1

What a beautiful copy! Is the owner of the 9.2 a boardie? I'd love to see a high res. scan of that book!

How about that Bats 251 selling for 45 dollars? In my book that was no VF. $45 seems about right. Sleep easy. (thumbs u (thumbs u GPA doesn't record Ebay purchases? Yes they do, only slabbed tho. I was talking about the 9.2 that sold for 950.00. (thumbs u I think the buyer and seller made a deal outside of ebay as the seller cancelled the listing, so no GPA.

the 9.2 he has isn't SS, but the 9.4 is. He was asking $2,800 for the 9.4 SS last year.

This same seller had both of those books for sale last year too. If I remember correctly he had the 9.2 listed for $700.00 at the time. I made an offer above GPA at the time and he went on and on about how the book was worth the asking price. He must have felt the new $1,200.00 price was too low and yanked the ad.

Good chance that it was a boardie.

Someone will be happy with that 9.4 from the Link. Congrats to whoever nabbed it.

13 hundo with 8 days left, yowza!!!!

9.8 White pager on the 'bay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-227-CGC-9-8-White-Pages-Highest-Graded-Copy-Neal-Adams-Cover-/350503381818?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item519ba12b3a

Nice sale, Brian! I know I'd be very pleased if I were the buyer, it presents extremely well.

Brian, did your JLA 1 sell? I don't see it any longer on Bob's site.

Nice guns on the wall!

Tough call. I had a similar predicament and decided to keep the book as is after consulting with an expert. My biggest concern was there is always a chance that it could come back a lower grade. I'd personally keep it the way it is as it is stunning.

Yes, I don't think that 9.4 on the Link will fetch anymore than $75.00 next month. Seriously, I think it will be a good barometer for the book. There hasn't been a ton of sales for 9.4's on GPA. 42 pages of discussion for a comic that is a big deal because of an cool AWESOME cover, has no impact on the bat-universe, etc. we got our copies in various grades (I still can't believe I got a fairly presentable copy for $7 at my LCS like 6-8 months ago) and i think the topic was beaten like a dead horse and we moved on. Fixed that for you. Can we buy you a drink, Blob? (thumbs u Oh, and if you want to triple your money on your copy, I'm sure some poor soul will oblige.

Love it. If you do the resto, post the before and after shots!

Just picked this one up tonight. My first Slobodian

I know of at least 2 other 9.4's in an old holder. I have one of them.

Since I suck at predicting, I'll go ahead and throw a number out. Edit: $1,300.00.
