Just in case it hasn't been mentioned, there's another easy way to tell if a copy is a 3rd printing. The 3rd printing is slightly smaller in width than the first two. The black bar on the rhs of the front cover will be thinner. Exterior differences from 1st to 3rd: 3rd is pinker in color. 3rd has more blood in the second 'T' in Turtles. 3rd is thinner in width and has a thinner black bar on the right hand side. Don't take the CGC label for granted if you are buying a graded copy that is advertised as a first print. Look closely at the book itself.

"I don't want to confirm a CGC number or condition as grading is highly subjective, so please look over the scans carefully before bidding." Translation: I know it's worth a lot less than I am asking.

That was awesome. Love this book

Well done. It's always great to finally sell something after a long haul.

trying soo hard for an out of context quote... or maybe Im just overly perverted.

Hopefully I didn't pay too much for my 9.8! either way sounds like you are happy with your copy, I'm sure a 9.8 was not for sale when you were in the market for that 9.6. When I purchased mine, Jeff still was the sole owner of a 9.8. Where are all of these 9.8s coming from nowadays?? Odds are they're books that have been cracked, pressed and re-submitted.

For the simplest explaination computers are the reason you don't see word ballons and text on more original art pages today. Ah, that does explain it. So, for a page from circa 1980, did the artist just give the letterer the completed page and then the letterer just hand-drew (or maybe stenciled?) the bubble and hand-lettered the letters on to the original page? Yeah and they would also sometimes paste the completed word ballons on the page. I prefer the look of older pages I hate how original covers and title pages don't look complete today. I love classic pages like that - where there's the art, and then there's the bubbles and other template stuff like the title and issue box etc stuck over the top. Thanks for your help guys, appreciate it.

I'm just getting into OA for the first time and wanted to ask a question regarding OA with speech bubbles and lettering already "drawn" in - if that makes sense... I've seen OA which has no lettering or speech bubbles and other OA that has them. I guess my question is: why do some pages have bubbles and letters and others do not? I'm looking at buying a Batman page from 1980 where the bubbles and letters look to be integrated into the artwork itself, and just want to know a bit more about why it's like that. Most of the artwork I see for sale has no bubbles or letters. Thanks. Gotta start somewhere

Good for this book, the revival of the Star Wars franchise could be...

That Hawkeye #2 auction ended at $41.00 with two noobs duking it out. Sus but possibly legit... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/281011123411?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Nice spot. Any particular reason as to why? It only came out like last month...

If you can get $1000 for that book, take it and laugh all the way to the bank. I'd bet that there'll be a few more 9.8's on the census pretty soon.

The latin guy would have made an awesome Governor!

This is one of those books that people just want. It seems the grade is less important than the price.

"Why The Walking Dead Is Out And Saga Is In" http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/10/21/why-the-walking-dead-is-out-and-saga-is-in/

Been trying to find one of these at a decent price for years

You, sir, have made my day. Had no idea the print run on the 2nd print was that low. Even happier than I alredy was to own one

Strong price for a Fine+ https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=23537869

Awesome club. Can i join?

It's going to be interesting to see what happens to the books over the course of this season - and especially after the finale.

So I just read Batgirl #13. Why is this hot, again? It looks like #14 is going to be the one with the "Killing Joke 2" potential.

A newsstand copy too...that's one lucky #35!
