Picked this up from a local show yesterday.

The first major key in my collection was purchased at a local show yesterday. I've been wanting to get this book for years. Getting it in high grade just isn't in my future, so I finally found a copy within my budget and that looked decent enough.

Best of luck! That 679 variant is great. And I am with you -- this version of Batman is a favorite of mine, too. In fact, my silver age and golden age collecting of Batman and Detective Comics is based on the issues referenced in The Black Casebook or other issues Morrison pulled from in their run.

I got very lucky and won my first copy along with Batman #197 in an auction for $150. The second copy I got from a local convention as the show was closing for $120 down from $145. Based on the prices I have seen on eBay and some other auction sites, I consider myself lucky to get them at the price I did even if the condition isn't awesome. Some auctions on eBay are going for $100-$200 more and aren't as good from what I can tell from the pictures provided. .

The only book I have doubles of is Batman #113. I still am on the hunt for a better copy than what I have, but these two are decent enough for a book I have trouble tracking down in general.

Batman #113 is my favorite book that I own.

Tossing this one up here, too, in addition to the Batman thread.

Those are great covers! I'll add them to my list to be on the lookout for purchasing.
