great pick-up, I was surprised at how high it went.

Nice Batman, for some reason that was a tougher one to find in cdecent condition for me.

I don't believe it. Look at the buyers history. I didn't look at everything, but I am not convinced.

Hey Surfer, For an old book like that, I don't think it is possible to overpay. They just don't show up that often. I think it is an amazing book. I will keep my fingers crossed that it comes back in a blue label.

#70 is one of my all time favorites!

I go back to 43. I have about 20% from 27 to 100, 20% 100 to 200, 23% 200 to 300, and then almost complete up, so a lot more to go. If I can do ten major issues per year, I will be happy so this year I have to get at least one of the majors (27, yeah right, 29, 31, 33, or 38).

Two new books in my collection. I snagged two off Heritage, First Batman 14 to replace my 5.0 with slight restoration (will be selling soon). This one is the one on Mark's website. Batman 14 Second is a Detective 79 with white pages. One towards my goal of ten new Detectives in my collection in 2006. Detective 79

That really sucks! Thanks for posting the warning so others can be on the look-out.

Congrats on the Wonderworld 7! This book was also on my want list for about 12 years before I found a copy (which I still have in my collection 16 years later)! Enjoy it!

Wow, I only need 427 more to have them all !!!

I actually have it open on one of my windows right now, super nice! I also have a few others open as well. I am trying to decide what to pick up next. There are just way too many books available right now.

I still need ~ 240 to finish the run so a long ways off. I am complete from 401 up and almost complete from 281 and up. Below that, I need quite a few, especially in the 121-160 range and the 201 to 240 range. I have certain condition criteria and I am cheap so I am always bargin hunting. I plan to just keep hacking away at the run until I finish it...

Recent purchase from Heritage, post auction. Still trying to finish the Detective run...

Nice pickup ! I was watching that one as well but funding issues kept me from bidding. Very nice! I was thinking about upgrading my 4.5 unrestored.

Is there anyway to pin this page so it stays at the top? Seems like a good place to collect this info.

I just got my invoice for the Hit 9 off Heritage. Paid for it so now comes the wait.

I love both those Archies! You must have an incredible collection based on your posts!

Thanks! I got to try and keep up with all the Detectives you have been snagging lately!

Just grabbed this one off Ebay. Pretty decent price (At least I think so...)

By far, one of the best Arrow covers, congrats!

Just received this one from Heritage. A long time want list book!

The book looks great, but a few light color breaks along the spine. As soon as my mylars arrive, I will crack it open and see what CGC means by "white". That is actually one of the big reasons I picked it up. Myself, I see no real value in spending 4x the money on a 9.2/9.4 when a clean 8.0 looks pretty damn nice. I picked it up off Hake's my first experience with them. Fast shipping and the packing was over the top. Could have survived a drop kick from the biggest UPS driver!

Most recent Batman 28 upgrade, CGC 6.0 to a 8.0 Pretty clean in person.

Thanks. The strange thing was that Midnightshadow17 posted that book for 6 or 7 straight weeks 2 years ago, and no one would bid his starting price. Finally, he listed it at $999, and I decided to hit the bin. At that time I was only collecting Batmans, but since this book was ranked 2nd on the census (8.0 or 8.5 being the highest), I decided to pull the trigger. I'm glad I did. If I ever decide to sell it, you're the person I'll contact first. Hey Skybolt, what Batmans do you have? Are you still collecting?

My latest purchase off Ebay. Won it Thursday night and paid for it a few minutes after the auction ended. Book was shipped today!!! It will be a nice upgraded to the restored copy I have!
